whoops
i've taken to carrying around a little booklet in which i write stuff down. this is a new habit for me. everything from shopping lists, random phrases that pop into my head, and to-do lists. don't dare suggest one of those organizing multi-planner type things: they're way too organized. i have to have stuff on random pieces of paper that i can throw away when they're no longer relevant.
unfortunately, i couldn't find my little book this morning.
so i have to write down.
-- expensive things i want: a trombone, a handheld PC, a champion juicer.
-- i want to play the trombone. i want to practice it in my house and annoy my roommates and play stilted renditions of embraceable you on street corners.
-- and/or the mandolin.
-- i want to write a short story about superstition. a white cat crossed my path the other day. what does this mean?
-- a man started striding along side me, held out two handfuls of teeny umbrellas. "Want to buy one for $2?!" he enthused. "Mmmmmnosorry" i said.
-- vegetarian mezza, sitting in the sun, reading the funnies.
-- an unexpected dinner party of six, by candlelight.
-- four glasses of wine later, i fell asleep to the sounds of the jazz octet with my head in bad pioneer's lap and he stroked my hair while my throat reverted to soreness.
-- i must have some kind of ear or throat infection. my coworkers have it too. yuck.
-- as i walked down the street with my mezza in hand, i passed two latino guys were arguing in spanish. i heard quick footsteps behind me and jumped aside as they circled each other in the wary spatial tug-of-war of the beginning of a fist fight.
-- my dear heart made javanese salmon the other night. i had two candlelit dinners with wine and good company in a row.
back to work. even though it is super cheesy, super super cheesy, i love this song. if i'm pms-ing, i will wholeheartedly weep. please don't make fun of it. go listen to it.
