Sinister: did you think you could fly?

[Kirsten Kenyon]

  the power went out tonight.  leslie thought it had something to do 
with a sandwich shop. leslie's given me a gorilla and i've named him 
celeste.  he loves all of you very much, and he plays the drums.  
celeste waves.  
  so, yes, the power went out.  i turned onto brady street and 
noticed that something looked strange, but i couldn't tell what it 
was.  probably because it was too dark to see.  but the darkness, as 
it happened, is what WAS strange, and as i drove down the street i 
saw people standing in the blackness and the pubs lit by candles and 
drunken folks spilling out onto the sidewalks and television news 
crews and it was all very confusing.  the traffic lights weren't 
working, either, and it's a good thing that i'm mario andretti in an 
ally sheedy parka....so i was fine.
   the geese have gone south, i think.  for the winter...i'd rather 
like to go, too. well, i'd like to go south for the winter if i could 
keep the northern winter weather, but i suppose that would defeat the 
purpose of migration altogether.  
  so here's a mildly entertaining bit of information...i went out for 
coffee the other day after work, and i was holding my mug in one hand 
and my notebook in the other, and wondering how i was going to get 
out the door.  there was an old woman standing at the door and 
holding it open, and i was glad to see her because i really could use 
a hand.  she looked like she would hold the door for me.  instead, 
she turned and looked and me and firmly slammed the door in my face, 
and everyone started laughing, and i laughed too and walked outside 
and she called me a name and said "i don't know who the hell you are" 
and apparently that was reason enough for her to slam a door in my 
face.  everyone kept laughing. i saw a boy through the window, and he 
looked at me and shrugged and laughed and i giggled at him.  i guess 
it was funny...sort of.  
   i'm running behind.  a few days ago there were letters to write 
and there was drink to drink.  so now i'm writing the letters and 
drinking the drink and feeling that, strangely enough, 
procrastination didn't pay off this time.  
  i think i am going to go to madison next weekend for 
elise...pernice brothers...it should be a good time.  i hope i don't 
have to be twenty-one.  i always need to be twenty-one, and it's pure 
silliness.  
  tonight, not even mysterious marie and her lovely lais could 
distract me from elimidate.  hugs
  xoxo
