fiona and the kids are gone, and so is paul, so leah and i are running this joint for a little bit. and we're getting to check our email for free. so i bought this zipper pull to go on my new purple hoodie. it wasn't really an impulse purchase unless you look at it as being not the one i intended to buy, but the sockeye salmon (the one i wanted) turns out to be the snaggle-tooth version, and i think that the snaggle-tooth version of any salmon is too unattractive to add to a sweatshirt.
last night leah and i went to a show at this place called phat club in town, and it was alright. it was supposed to be punk, but it sounded like border-line heavy metal and by the time i got back here my ears were ringing. in fact, i think they still are. but the band was pretty good, and it got me out of the "compound" for awhile so it was worth the entry fee.
and today before she left, fiona gave us vouchers to blow our own baubles at flamedaisy, a local glass studio. these people are absolutely the most wonderful people i have met! some days i just can't believe our luck at ending up here, honestly.
and as it is nearly 2 p.m., i will go eat some lunch which may or may not consist entirely of double chocolate ice cream while hoping that nobody rings the place, followed by perhaps some writing, finally getting around to editing some photos, and reading my new book called rowing to alaska, which i purchased at a used bookstore yesterday on my foray in the rain into town. and then tonight i will watch csii on tv 3 (crossing my fingers it's caught up to where i left) and maybe men in trees afterwards. it's good to have a plan!
thank heavens the writers' strike is finally over! i think Men in Trees is my saving grace when i want to avoid working on studio!
ReplyDeletenice zipper pull. i totally approve.
i'm reading Gibson's Neuromancer -- well skimming it after i finish model building so i can hopefully work it into my editor's note due tomorrow. did you ever read it? sorry i still haven't sent a proper email.
tu me manque!
