a cigarette (not really) and a drink or something: listened to Smog - River Guard while reading Peanuts by Charles Bukowski, courtesy of clicking on FB links by grad school peoples...was good background music to reading Bukowski-esque Peanuts...cien por ciento not planned but que sorpresa.

Dinner for less than a dollar:
Little potatoes, little parsnip, parsley.
Only for that price at that store up the street.
Later supplemented by snacking.
That's the way to happy poverty.

Stories
One of the Beatles sang one called It's Just Another Day. In one story, some characters got famous and monetary but then still went all depressed sometimes for some reason. Other characters were pleased to not be famous but needed to be more successful so poverty didn't push them over a cliff. Books written on Thoreau, Emerson, Fuller, Alcott, and Louisa May. How do people get successful? Maybe the answer was in the books, meditation, or episodes of the X Files.

A strange but not actually unpleasant dinner
Hot: olive oil, brown jasmine rice rewarmed in a pan, fried egg, shredded cabbage
and of course, the pan
Cold: chopped red onion, chopped dill chips, smoked herring from a tin,
(sidenote: supposedly pregnant women in holland crave raw fish from carts that sell them with pickles, onions) sprinkle of herb salad mix, splash of hot sauce,
and of course, the plate.
Wash it down with: smooth tequila in orange juice with icecubes
and of course, the pan

Digging Away To Something Better
Sigh. Betrayals abound in this universe. You love a radio station, but 2 out of the 17 DJs you looked up are female. At least those are 2. No offense to the other 15. No offense to the 2 (who may very well not really care about that gender imbalance.) But it's bothersome to some of us. (To a teeny minority it seems.) I hope the future is a lot more shocked. I'm counting on it...

On the heels of this discovery, the idea of people who pour time into reading or writing about "The Bad Girl" plus "Our Favorite Literary Bad Girls" just makes me want to emit a disappointed groan.

Mejor:
Water rushing over the rocks, trails to old graves, the guy who said to come along on (co-ed group) run 'cause you're wearing the right shoes.
~~~~~
Never underestimate the power of a good walk.

Good stuff (2)
1) It was good to know that the few people I know from Japan (including a college roommate, with whom I share a birthday) are doing well.
2) I looked at some blogs and saw this: Iso In Slow Motion: Bath Time! I think I just keeled over from cute.

Bridge
I'm thinking of walking in a certain place near here.
When I walk over a bridge, or maybe just a place that kind of feels like a bridge, and it's surrounded by something nature-y, I always, almost, have to think of a certain girl. She was photographed by her father's friend/colleague, whatever. It seems, she had a father who was an author.
And maybe it was, maybe it wasn't based on her, but a character in the Light Princess has her name, it seems.
So that's a fairy tale.
But I think of her walking over a bridge, on her way to be a maid.
And other things.
Why so?
At times I've had many impressions of how things looked in her life.
Why so?
Who knows.
So.
A person is not a book character.
And the book maybe will be a musical?
Could be interesting.
Quien sabe? *shrug*
Quien puede decir.
People and books are different.
Still.
Weird little things.
Weird little connections.
All over the planet.
And another walk.

Swims...
Someone lives here.
Someone completes a project.
Something boring gets magical.
Something swims there.

How does life
How does it go from so-so sorry to awesome in such a short span of time?
How does it do that?
Meeting super interesting people. That's kinda how it does that!

Bad: rumbles about going to Libya
Bad/Good: I love it when people who have no family in the military go on about how patriotic they are and how much they support the troops. It's awesome.
Good:

Boo Hoo
She went after the next temp crown fell out and because she couldn't find the plug and wire stuff for downloading the good and gorgeous and beautiful trip reminiscing photos.
Boo hoo. Tear drip.
Pixies - Silver
Pretty is watching dripping ice icicles from heated outdoor pool and a mountain called Heavenly...
And also the drive up and interesting changes in terrain. All the sister and brother mountains.
Away away away...
