no talkin', bailey's walkin'...

video

i just spent FOREVER doing this. i had to figure out how to rotate the video, 'cause i took it sideways. it should be easy. and it was, once i installed a plug-in to do it. thank carl bub will be more tech-savvy than i am, even if she walks a bit funny now.

up above your head's a hammer

i'm eating chips for dinner. they're disgusting.
i started making potato salad at 4 pm. i just finished.
the bun is in las vegas. i'm not.

i've been scrabbing and listening outside bub's door; tapping at the window, crying at the lock - is my bublet in her bed? for now it's 10 o'clock. her head's a hammer. her head's on fire. her head is heavy. finally, she sleeps. i thank carl that this is only the second time she's ever been ill.

tick tock, tick tock, i'm a little cuckoo clock.
tick tock, tick tock, now i'm striking ten o'clock.

where does the time go? it flows through my fingers, just like the guy says at the beginning of that soap opera. like a cheese rolling down a hill, gaining momentum in a ridiculous fashion, my life is bouncing along. and i can't even eat it when it stops.

the sun set - went down and down

cookie crumbs on my sweater. early morning fire burning. mid-june and my feet are cold.
my motivation is marooned somewhere, there are no oases in sight. i should be working, but working from home is so easy not to do.

6. i broke into a kindergarten

7. i lived in a dormitory for months with two boys (but didn't attend the university)

8. i like paris hilton
