I'm going to San Sebastian, because I like that book The Sun Also Rises.  bye!

White , the gorge, orange, was living then,
Ran across the morning highway

I really like A Weather, a lot.  Gives me the same feeling as Carissa's Weird, whom I can thank Eyestone for discovering a couple years ago.  It makes me want to write, go on drives, and lay diagonally on made beds staring at the ceiling and think about kissing somebody really quietly.   The sky's blue today.  I'm going to go on a drive soon with ( Read more... )
