The Birds 8/16/05
Well. It's 3:36am, so what better to do than ramble? I seem to be having a full-on attack of insomnia. I tried everything i could think of to fall asleep. I read, I watched t.v., I ate cereal, I had some Nyquil. I tried the couch, then the bed, then the couch. I turned the A.C. up and down and up. I opened the window. I lay on my back, then stomach, then back. I folded myself up, and stretched myself out. I am as exhausted as I have ever felt, but my eyes won't stay shut. They feel dry, but stay sprung open. What is keeping me up? I have nothing on my mind right now, it feels empty as my bowl. I'm sitting in the study right now. There are piles of paper all over the floor-- sorted to be filed. Why don't I take this odd time to clean up this floor? No, no, of course not.
In about 4 hours I have to be in the shower readying for work. I have about a million things to do there, but I will no doubt feel like hell. And I am sure, dollars-to-donuts, that once sitting at my desk my eyes will be more than happy to clamp shut and my consciousness will try to escape me. I'll feel sick enough to want to go home early, but I can't, I have errands, I have to meet my sis, I have to see a dr. A full day. What if I don't fall asleep at all? Then i'll pass out walking to the restroom. I could use a good day.
The Birds 8/10/05
I feel like I haven't rambled in about 2 years. Apparently it's only been a month. Well most of my memories of the month have been noticing the Birds, and the people on the subway. The more frightening is actually the Pigeons. Sure, there are always a shitload of pigeons out & about in the summer in new york, but their mentality has changed. Now they travel in packs that are larger and yet tighter. More synchronized in movement, and more agressive of their target. And there is something midly sinister behind it. Evidence of a brain behind the flapping and pecking and swooping. The final clinch came when a particular bitch of a bird recently pegged me right in the head.
What were the chances 7/7/05
It's been so long since I took to typing. I've been floating around, way too happy, forgetting
all my tangibles. The summer cracked out, and we (nyc) have been sunbathing for a good month.
Some people even had pecularly perfect tans before the sun starting shining.
I am different now though, and it's already the best summer of my life. Look at this tan! This glow! I'm blessed, people.
