You never know who’s paying attention.

Slept for eleven hours last night. No dreams to speak about. Woke up with a renewed feeling, truly a rejuvinating experience. Went down to Peaberry's and got a coffee, forgot about the pleasures of the morning coffee, something I haven't indulged in for a while. Spent a portion of the late morning in Pendragon talking with Caitlyn and Josh while they were working. Came back home and wrote for a while about Farah and her lollipops as lampposts. Thought about calling Brian about my sudden mundane revelation on the difference between a convenient store and a convenience store. "Convenient" being a noun and "convenience" being an adjective.

Watched the first four episodes of "Serial Experiment: Lain," something I really got into. Made a MC for Brian but I don't believe he got it. Here it is:

I'm not part of your MC circle
I heard about it through the horse's mouth.
All the balloons are on the ground
surrounded by discarded underwear,
looking like a dead spider missing three
legs. I have Serial Experiment Lain
on my brain, body shaken with coffee (a poison
linked to talkative chatter and five pages
of written nonsense).

Do you know what the difference is between a
Convenient Store and a
Convenience Store?

What else would I be doing if I hadn't
slept for eleven hours?

I'm giving you a smile the flavor of
mint adorned gum and keeping the marginal
(and I mean marginal) chores at the end
of my list.

Jaa, osakini sayonara!


Went to the grocery store. Erica came while I was in the shower. We walked to The Video Room and then to Gaylord's. She told me about her trip to New Orleans, her time with gutter-punks, the hardcore show she went to, the Jazz Festival, the vampire tour. I told her about my weekend with Brian, the balloons, the dinner I made, the conversations we had, the fears I have. She rented "Interview With A Vampire," something we both hadn't seen in a while.
