While waiting in line for 20 minutes downstairs at JCrew (line being held up by older out of shape woman with transparent blue t-back trying to get the store to refund her sales tax), manager has been summoned:
Impatient waspy woman 1 to impatient waspy woman 2 - "Oh look, now they've called in a gay guy.. this outa be good!!"
While seated with Abby on an MTA bus in midtown, woman standing to our left in her early 40s with no visible disabilities carrying a small shopping bag and wielding a dark red smoothy drink of some sort that is threatening to come open and spill on my head. Said woman into cell phone - "
Really wish I had px of these guys but alas I have been in a shy stage and have not yet received the spy camera from my Archie comic. Must check on that. The Sea Monkeys are doing well.
Things I am excited about today:
We are going to Maine for the weekend and Oli gets to come along too.
Eating lobster in Maine.
Watching lobster boats in the bay in Maine.
Looking for tug boats in the bay in Maine.
Walking down the sidewalk in Maine.
Listening to the way people speak in Maine.
Finding a quiet spot to nap and listen to my iPod in Maine.
The fact that Stephen made a reservation at a hotel in New Hampshire as a halfway point.
Staying in hotels this weekend (I love to stay in hotels.. of all shapes and sizes).
Stephen got me tickets to the Raconteurs in September for my birthday and told me about it today.
I am going to buy tickets to see The New Pornographers at the Summer Stage concert series in Central Park tomorrow. They are playing on August 3rd.
Our new apartment in Brooklyn.
Getting rid of lots of things so we can live more simply and comfortably in our new place.
The new couch that Avi and Abby gave us.
Belonging to the co-op in Park Slope.
Working at the co-op in Park Slope.
Two 3/4 sleeve feather weight tees that I got at JCrew today.
The doctor said I am back to a healthy weight, 116 lbs. yay for chicken veggie soup over noodles and sour dough bread.
There is a bird chirping madly outside my window and its very late for that kind of bird behavior. I think he is confused. But happy anyway. Its dark in here and the boys are sound asleep behind me. Its actually been a pretty good day. Just feeling less and less like going to work but that is pretty normal I think. Death Cab is singing about Brothers on a Hotel Bed. I think its a portrait of people on opposite coasts. He didn't mean to fall in love but it happened in an instant and he could see from beginning to end.
Things I miss today:
Lightening bugs
Mom's iced tea
Fresh green beans and country ham in a big pot
My front porch at home in NC
Driving up 18 North with the windows down
People I miss today:
Gram
Jeff
Ian
Katie
Jason
Alright. The longer I stay up the more tempting it is to continue to do so. I better go to bed. I have a job to be at tomorrow. I'd better say that's that. Love to you all.
