Well here I am house sitting for my best friend. Three dogs and a cat. Full fridge and fully loaded bar. I feel like i'm in hiding. Some kind of government witness protection plan. The phone does'nt ring here. No roomies. No drama. A few quiet moments to fix my head up. Work was work. If you do time in an office you know what I mean. Read a little of "sex and rockets" on the MARTA. Researching Jack Parsons for a play. I feel i'm out of my league with this project. I write well with others, i'm just not so sure I do so on my own yet. Put it down and walk away, just don't blow it off. When I got here I immediately stripped and went for a swim in the rain. It was nice. The water was a lot warmer than I thought it would be. Over and over I pulled myself out and dived right back into the pool. When I swim underwater it's the closet thing I get to flying. Not like a pilot but like something out of the comic books.I keep going until I hear the thunder. Now the sky is really coming down. I look up and it reminds me of NY before it would snow. Only the banks of trees spoil the illusion. Somewhere out there beyond all those miles of storm a sun is trying to set. I can feel the colors by their absence. I can hear the birds sing the last song of day in the growing shadows.
Right now outside the window the neighborhood cats are taking shelter from the elements, skulking in unmowed grass and prowling through the orange tulips and purple hyacinths coming to a rest under the carport and mounting my friends big red truck like it was a mountain they had conquered. This of course is setting the dogs off. Their barking "Intruder!Intruder!" The cats don't care- if the dogs in the house don't like it let 'em come on out and do something about it. They stare with the patience and arrogance of ancient generals into the room. I've always admired the courage of cats and yet find myself trying to emulate the loyalty of dogs.
I guess i'll get back to the research and try and cook up a little dinner.
Work again tomorrow. Pay day. Pick up the new Cure if time permits. Try and get some sleep soon. Been having problems these last few days, having trouble turning off the brain. Why does it all sound golden in the head and then like lead on the page? Alchemy in reverse.
More later.

That has got to be the fastest response to a post ever! I was still editing when I noticed your reply. Haven't made my "MySpace" profile yet. I don't have a cool photo of me. Plan on doing all the bio stuff tomorrow at lunch. Will add you immediately though.
Oh and how did SR go last night?

SR was fun as always but Heather was sick. it was only me and tabby so i was rather tired. had a cool show planned but the lights wouldn't work. you would have liked it. i was going to lip sync to Peaches again.

How can you write like this and not believe that you do a beautiful job. I love reading your journal because you even make trivial everyday things seem beautiful. One of the highlights of my normally dreary day.

what an amazing look at things....

i have "strange" thoughts like this all the time but really never put them down....maybe i should...i think it would be cleansing for me.
thanks for the eye opening post.

I can do some pics of you, if you trust me. :)

Are you going to Captain Slappy's on Thursday? I'm assuming you are, and if you're looking to do something afterwards, please come over for board/card game night at Adam and I's place at 8pm.

See you Thursday!

Bonnie

PS I'm really enjoying the tape you made for me!

Of course I trust you.

I was thinking about going to the "Cap'n Slappy" happy hour. Support the home team and such. Board/card games could be fun. Will you be at Lenny's Wednesday night. Debating going or doing Britpop w/Dani.

Glad you like the tape.

See you Thursday!
