Now I know...

...why I once thought to myself, 'Man, I took a shower an hour ago,' and then realized I was just walking past a bratwurst stand.

Puff the Magic Dragon

I'm listening to recordings of my dad playing songs for my friend Megan.

I can hear Megan laugh sometimes, at jokes that I'll never know because I'm not there, and that makes me happy.

I wish we were sitting on my mom's porch, perched on the railing, while my dad plays and I sing along, drinking delicious beverages and feeling glad to know each other, and glad to be alive. You and me and everyone we know who likes that front porch.

In other news:

No need to worry, I have another part time job, one that will make sure me and mine are fed full of good foods all the time.

jazz 88

I think that the student DJ on the radio today is playing exactly the same set he played yesterday. Cause I know I heard something by the James Taylor Quartet AND a string version of 'Ding Dong! The Witch Is Dead' yesterday when I was working.

Seriously. Not cool, dude.

Some Notes on Life and Living

Notes on Life:

* I've got a brand new pair of *ice* skates, you've got a brand new *?*...

* Astronome at the Ontological looks awesome. Three friends are in it. Who wants to take me to New York on a little vacation to see it?

* I may become a grocery stocker. I may also become counter help at a French bakery that is very far from my house, but I hear makes great French eats. I may, if possible, go on tour doing plays for children.

* My birthday is in one month and one week.

* I still haven't sent out those challenge prizes. Damn that procrastination gene.

* We're making some petite performances. We're thinking to the future. Kevlar, are you thinking about containers? Dawn, remember when we were thinking of eggs and adolescence? I'm about ready to start sitting in cafes that aren't the one I work in, sipping hot drinks and thinking of objects and space.

Notes on living:

1. Eat lots of vegetables.
2. Go for walks.
3. Shovel the snow.
4. Clean your bowl right after you eat out of it, even if the dishwasher is full.
5. Plan your garden to dream of spring.
6. Play on the ice to make a dream of winter.
7. Change your socks before you go to bed.

Who's Lame?

Me, for how incredibly long it's been since I've written anything.

Sadly, I don't really have anything to say in this moment, other than that I'm looking for a job. Again. Sheesh.

Oh, and it's -5 degrees, -25 with the wind chill today. (Glad I got some outdoor time in on Sunday! Yay for some skating and lots of falling!)

I promise I'll write something more substantial soon. Cross my heart.
