I bought a pot of tulips the other day. They have all these flowers out under awnings in front of markets now and spring doesn't even start until March 21st! Tomorrow's supposed to be sunny, which is a good thing. I'll set it out on the balcony again like I did today before going to work. That and cards to nieces and having hard candy set out in bowls - it's all coming together in perfect spinster fashion! Next I'll be cutting barmbracks and leaving plumcakes on the train! I read Stuart's entry on Orange Juice, too. And his theory on the inverse of six degrees of separation. Later he said "feeling a bit private!" Well, he said it earlier, but I found it later, which was nice cos it shows how you could go back, after interior monologues and watching people on the bus. But back to the theory. A corollary or implication: you could fall in love with almost anyone. Cos there comes to be a point when comparisons are impossible - apples and oranges. Orange Juice - a loping gait - walking on the edge of the pavement, falling slightly behind - holding out your arm for her - the playground scene in "Teach Us to Outgrow Our Madness" but not against a backdrop of the emperor announcing his fallibility on the radio! Everyone has the dream about falling, right? And what about the one of trying to fit a square in a circle, or being that square? Not so very plummy. Stiff as a board, hard and dry. but at least SPLINTER! I get lost in muddled flourishes and forget what I'm trying to say! __________________________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo!
