"u r a gem." - the mother of the kids i babysit, to me, via text message
this is an important film: groups of middle-aged white men are vastly under represented in mainstream media!
"total eclipse of the heart"
i am in a bar.
it is tuesday.
it is two thirty in the afternoon.
i am by myself.
outside, it is chilly and raining. inside, "down under" by men at work is playing.
a year ago today, i was in a country home in connecticuit, baking bread, sitting by a fire place, reminiscing, and celebrating a one-year anniversary with an ex-partner.
today, i am killing time before work because my therapist canceled our twelve o'clock at eleven forty-five.
too far to go home--too cold and wet to be outside.
"you're love" by the outfield comes on as i a nurse a brooklyn lager before i go serve people brooklyn lagers.
i didn't own the shoes i am wearing today a year ago. i didn't own the pants, shirt, necklace, bracelet, scarf, or socks i am wearing today a year ago.
i'm fairly certain that my underwear is more than a year old.
how long do most people hold onto their underwear for?
