LJ Idol - Week 15: Busman’s holiday

[tonithegreat]

The music coming out of her phone speakers surprises me with its sound quality. She doesn’t have the volume up very high, but the brassy 80s beat comes through clearly, curling up into the cool dry evening air. Mir has kind of an off-kilter and eclectic taste in music, but so far on this trip we’ve been able to enjoy each-other’s tastes. Jimmy

Great use of details to make this scene come alive.

Thank you! I always feel like it’s a fine line between smooth an boring for these vignette type pieces. I’m going for happy comfortable, though.

Compelling peek at a potential future. I like Mir... her wisdom is simple. I guess, growing up in the 80s, I might see her again in another 20 years or so.

I love the atmosphere here, so vivid with the sounds and smells and the visuals. This is a lovely, rich vignette!
