"...and after expenses, and pulling up fences, no more airplanes..."
lying in bed and typing (not so easy when you don't have a laptop and you're shortsighted and hunched up underneath all your bedclothes) and listening to Low "Things we Lost in the Fire", trying not to think about leaving this warm, coffee scented cocoon I've made for myself. I might get up to change the record - I'm thinking Galaxie500, still in the mood for something soft and nearly not-there - or maybe go and make more coffee, get the phone and speak to someone I haven't heard from in a long time, but for the moment this is me. It's so easy to just let things, days, people slip past like this. I know that. I've got to be careful.
Last night I stayed out late, conspiring with a friend about how we were going to change the world, one thing, one person at a time. All the cynicism and sarcasm will drop away and people will start saying what they think and feel, and mean it... How are we going to do this? Get back to me on that one.
But as a start, no more bad art hiding behind ironic, cynical detachment. It's okay to feel something and try to show it sometimes, always. Let go a little bit more.
(I need to start listening to my own advice)
Maybe it's time to get out of bed

how's the coat search coming? i'm having wardrobe anxiety for new york. i need someone to come and sift through this pile and help me decide what to take.
kisses.
why was your day the worst? i've been having some bad ones but lately i've just refused to participate.
i know what you mean about packing too many of the wrong clothes. i'm so used to living in this warm weather that i always freeze when i travel north. i'm trying to compensate with this trip. i'm so jealous that you're going to munich.
i bought some gorgeous huge purple mugs this morning. just right for milky coffee.
