yesterday morning i picked up a book and read 3 pages before suddenly dropping it in horror: what was i -doing-? today i found myself reading a towel tag. but the music is especially tough: it feels like my day doesn't begin until i start a cd or launch itunes.
songs i heard in my head yesterday: rufus wainwright: april fools beatles: michelle donnie darko's mad world remake ABBA: dancing queen styx: renegade (really!) susan mckeown: bold orion
songs i've heard in my head today: natalie merchant: carnival susan mckeown: bold orion dresden dolls: coin operated boy dresden dolls: miss me donnie darko's mad world remake west side story: i feel pretty peter gabriel: make tomorrow ani de franco: up up up up up up ani de franco: angel food simon & garfunkle: america
some notes i took on the bus: * her thick nails painted pink * media dep is scary, but joanne & rob expressed some relief, too * a man pours soil from a bag into his garden. god, is it time to be working on the garden already? * a girl all in black sits in front of me; she smells strongly of bounce. * curls of razor wire decorate the fence of an abandoned lot. * why don't we have cherry tress near where i live? the ones i'm seeing now are tantalizing: brimming but not yet bursting w/ joy.
and i had a good valentine's dinner w/ michaelmas. i was worried that not being able to watch "buffy" would cramp our style a little. ;)
