zippo girl

one night down in Newport, dave saw me pull out my zippo and said something along the lines of 'whoa! a girl with a zippo!' yeah, and i know what to do with it, too. there's something very satisfying about the weight of a zippo, the flip, snap, snick of using it.

we'll call it organic growth

the notes in my paper journal are starting to look like a James Joyce notebook. ever seen his drafts? color coded in some way, higgledy piggledy all over the page, and not a horizontal line amongst them.

that's a long freakin' game.

i didn't try to catch the game (Sox-Rangers, tyvm) last Saturday because it should have been over by the time i got home. then i heard something about 18 innings the next day, and thought 'huh. didn't realize they had a double header.' because they didn't. i could have caught the last 7 innings. who knew?

it's the little things...

i found a fantabulous pic of Nomar to use as my wallpaper. makes me chirp when i see his smiling face plastered all over my monitor. starting the day is more fun this way. :)

what does it mean to journal?

lovely, thoughtful piece by Joseph Epstein on what it means to journal, to keep a diary. he's been keeping a paper journal for over 30 years. his reflections got me to thinking, and i want to go back and reread the article.

calliope

i've been on another musical binge lately. as if y'all needed proof of my scattered tastes, here's the latest pile (and this is only at work...):

Richard Thompson, Action Packed - The Best of the Capitol Years
G. Love and Special Sauce, Philadelphonic
Afroman, The Good Times
The Blind Boys of Alabama, Spirit of the Century
Train, Train (my, that's an original title)
Laurie Anderson, Life on a String
Joni Mitchell, Both Sides Now
Shaggy, Hotshot

more, and more varied, at home - Blu Cantrell, Emmylou Harris, soundtrack from Northern Exposure (both volumes), some ambient recordings, Bob Dylan, Nick Drake, Eva Cassidy, and probably a few more i've filed away. yes, they're already in alphabetical order. :p

there would have been a few albums of Great Blue Sea in there, too, if anyone had them in stock.
