I think I'm developing insomnia... that or I'm trying to go to bed to early. I want to sleep, but I'm not tired. I'm having a string of nights where all I can do is lie awake in my bed and think about everything I've done wrong dating back two years. Kicking myself for something stupid I said to a boy on a date a million years ago that doesn't even ( Read more... )

The ornaments dangled from each limb of the tree shinning in every color of the visible spectrum. She ran her finger around the smooth plastic cylinder of a ball painted in a Norman Rockwell scene.

My great american novel will be a family epic. It's in me, we'll see if it ever turns out.

Something about sitting in a warm car after a cold resturant with our bellies full of thai food seems to encompass the sheer bliss of life nowadays. We drove home along the canal with our windows down, the air rushing through our fingers that seemed to wave at the joggers. The setting sun behind us cast a cinematic light on the girls in the front ( Read more... )

Etta James- At Last, this song now takes up two of the 10,000 spots on my i-pod. And currently for some reason is my favorite of the moment. Not that I have an "at last," far from it. My theme song this year is Andrew Bird's Lull. A celebration of being in limbo. I think that pretty much sums up where I've been this year. Limbo and loving it, and ( Read more... )
