if you've never sat down for an after-shift cocktail and listened to a jolly stoner interpret greek mythology into layman's terms, well, then you're not me. for some reason, i thought about hieronymus bosch today. i remember giggling at my little parochial high school and thinking that if we had to buy brand-new bibles for our biblical archaeology class, they should at least have come with some nice bosch-ian illustrations. maybe i'll publish my own bible someday, complete with bosch paintings and little knock-knock jokes in the footnotes, and a handy ring-bound day planner with photo sleeves sandwiched between malachi and matthew. i'm watching the "cheers" marathon instead of the news, and gosh, do i loathe kirstie alley. but i like nearly everyone else on the show, and the theme song is just SO GOOD. i live on a place called "regal park." it has some swings, and a few slides and monkey bars and there's a path that crosses the road and leads down to a nice little pond full of cute slimy frogs and happy snapping turtles, the occasional fox or heron and, of course, hissing geese. the past few days, driving past regal park...it's just looked really nice, for some reason. maybe i'm just imagining it...but it's...well. it wouldn't be a bad place to live. i promise. i wrote a story about love and puppies. except i didn't make it up. it's the simple story of a pretty brunette and a shaggy-haired boy in a rock band and a beagle named "sexy." and the girl and boy fell in love and went out to restaurants with red curtains and candles on the tables and got married, and the beagle had her name changed to "molly" and the boy and girl had three children and moved to the suburbs...it's a silly story...i always find that the true stories are the silliest ones. don't you? chicago....sounds like a good time. i will do my very best to make it there. to buckingham fountain, right? or navy pier? i'm a bit confused but that's not out of the ordinary. and i'll figure it out. tomorrow's a day off and i have applications to fill and letters to write and drink to...drink. goodnight xoxo kirsten Care2 make the world greener! http://www.care2.com - Get your Free e-mail account that helps save Wildlife! +-------------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister@missprint.org.
