first off, props to VEL for quoting from a doubleplus sweet jacque prevert poem..... my favourite prevert poem is the one that says: "i hung my hat in the cage and went out with the bird on my head..." or something like that. anyway. i havent posted in awhile, what with being IN LOVE and all, but i decide to give a quick recap of some of my recent doings and whatnot. winter left us here in minneapolis for last week, but has returned i think, today. it was above 70 degrees last tuesday. very strange behavior for this time of year. perhaps the end is approaching? perhaps not: it's only in the 40's now. last friday night i had a swinging shin-dig in my flat, i attempted to cram as many people as i could into it.....about 25! i was amazed, considering everyone was laying horizontally and all. we listened to some (as the lovely ulla puts it) "dreamy and wonderful serge gainsbourg and some magnetic fields, who are not quite so dreamy but still quite wonderful" :) and we drank my double strong margaritas and ate my super special nachos. it was a grand time.....you really should have come. the week went by as fast as any in recent memory. old mrs. richland was sad because somebody had vandalized her oak trees and mr. henderson's cow milly died unexpectedly of a lightning strike. (???) saturday night my friend robbie (of the wonderful indie band "kloey" ---go on check em out at mp3.com!) cut my hair in her kitchen whilst i boiled up a pot of my spiced cider. then we went to the midnight showing of "the city of lost children". everyone said that the little pick-pocket boys looked like little versions of me, with their rolled up pants and used blazers and berets. today at work my co workers said my new haircut and my glasses made me look like a nazi soldier. i think shindler's list was on tv sunday. hmmm.... there are some who think that any style from the 30's or 40's is a nazi style. damn the fascists! so tonight i will go dancing with my friends and feel lonely and disconnected from my surroundings as i think of a girl sleeping far off, alone in her bed, dreaming of me..... much love and non-violent hairstyles, caleb ben ===== And when I'm lying in my bed I think about life and I think about death and neither one particularly appeals to me and if the day came when I felt a natural emotion I'd get such a shock I'd probably lie in the middle of the street and die I'd lie down and die ------morrissey __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
