Gatsby dippin'

there was a jauntiness about her movements, as if she had first learned to walk upon golf courses on clean, crisp mornings


F. Scott works a mean pen. Had forgotten how enjoyable he was to read.

Maira Kalman and I are opting for a moment of blissful naivete instead of deep question asking. Hurray.

Pray for the voices inside your head,
that they wont be there when you're dead.

acquaintance with the night


An unexpected visit from insomnia ...
Why don't I hear all these things in the day?
The way each individual appliance makes it's own sound,
the refrigerator is loudest and has both a chorus and a verse
followed by the computer,
even the lamps make noise.
And my head is the land of unfinished sentences.

Me: I went to a dinner party this weekend and met some nice people.
Mom: That's nice. Do you think you'll see any of them again?
Me: Yes, actually. One of them invited me to a party she's having next week.
Mom: Wow. Thats like icing on a cake that already has icing!

LINT

Im haunted a little this evening by feelings that have no vocabulary and events that should be explained in dimensions of lint rather than words.

Ive been examining half-scraps of my childhood. They are pieces of distant life that have no form or meaning. They are things that just happened like lint.

I mean, come on!

It was like 50 paces to the nearest restroom!

I sat there in my car wondering what the hell you were up to - you spent at least 2 minutes scurrying around your parked car, looking to see if the coast was clear. I thought you were going to, like, break into someone else's car or something. Then I guessed you thought you were "safe" and hurried to the front of your car, near the third level stairwell, dropped your pants, squatted and WENT TO IT!

For Christ's sake, woman! All the time you spent looking out for passing cars so no one would see you crapping like a dog in public, you could have hustled your lazy ass downstairs and into the building and USED THE DAMNED RESTROOM!

Sheesh!

Anyway - if you're free later, drop me a line. I was never more turned on in my life.
