BECAUSE YOU HAD TO GIVE NAMES TO EVERYTHING YOU FOUND, AND MAKE LOGOS FOR BAD IDEAS, AND CHANGE YOUR CAR EVERY TWO YEARS AND WAKE UP EARLY FOR CONFERENCE CALLS, AND IT TURNED OUT TO BE NO PROGRESS AT ALL / JUST A SHADOW FESTIVAL / BECAUSE OF THAT YOU WILL HAVE TO LEARN TO LOOK AT THE SKY AGAIN, YOU WILL HAVE TO LEARN TO EAT FOOD THAT GROWS WHERE YOU LIVE AGAIN, YOU WILL HAVE TO LEARN TO TOUCH WHAT YOU MAKE

oh bother.

so i've been home from work for about an hour. i forced curtis to play with me for at least 10 minutes after i walked in and before he went out so that he wouldn't leave angry and maybe not come back...this is what i worry about. of course, only after i saw that the house wasn't burned to the ground. i was sure the c'mas tree would go down and the lights, on a timer (b/c i like to enjoy the thought of it) would set the carpet on fire....but only one glass ornament was sacrificed to this shift. i buried it and said a few words...

and there is always something to bury when i get home. shreds of newspaper, hole-y plastic bags, a pottery barn catalogue they evidently determined i perused too much....you know, that sort of thing. "they" being my cats.

and upon sitting down at the computer i found cat hair meticulously stuck to the bottom of my laptop screen (i could've swore i closed it before leaving monday)...and stella is the culprit b/c only she has a truly white coat of fur disguised by black tipped hairs, and only she takes obsessive interst in talking to my computer screen.

anyway, i really have missed the blogging scene. i dont really read or write blogs that often anyway, but i do miss writing them. and i've commented a few times to beaux kevin, and finally (after i edited the hell out of my blog to make sure it was presentable) i gave in to yet another request, and handed over the address

he'd kill me, but this is his email response. verbatim.

I'm not sure how people put themselves out there like this! But, I now know what your basement apartment looked like, you have a thing for latin men and you used to write a lot more than you do now. Do you miss it?

Love,
Caucasian Kev



"hmm. well could be worse!" i thought...but of course this also sent me on a wild goose chase to find the conversation i must have posted that flaunted an attraction to latin men...

not that i could get away with denying a slight interest in oggling nice-looking men of latino descent...i just can't find the dang posting...

(and for the record i actually prefer Greek or the ever-so droolable Italiano--help me out here LAPO! haha)

ok geez. i'm cutting myself off. fresh on the blogger and already i can tell this could get me into trouble! hah.

have a nice weekend everyone. ciao-
