You stick around now it may show
Nov. 26th, 2007 06:59 pmThe highlight of my day so far was playing the word "tenderly" in my scrabulous game against ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
mintwaster for a 50 point bonus.
Though burrowing under the covers and staring at the cloudy afternoon sky while listening to Bill Evans wasn't so bad either. Satisfyingly mournful and comforting simultaneously.
While climbing the stairs from the subway, I contemplated quitting my job. I don't know for what, so I didn't. I just had that feeling of dread about going into the office today, which isn't so surprising, after 6 days of not having to be here.
I'm still occasionally weirded out by the internet, and how you can, on a whim, google the name of a former best friend from high school and stumble upon video footage of her toddler playing on a backyard swingset. She ended up marrying this guy who I sat next to in 10th grade world history and argued politics with him all the time because he was a staunch republican. We weren't really close in the years prior to her marrying that guy, but it was sort of nail in the camel's back. They named their child "Noble", which was strange at first, but after a moment of pondering, realized it was totally par for the course.
I started reading The Heart Is A Lonely Hunter by Carson McCullers on the plane last Friday. Its hard to always find things I can read in transit, because if they require too much concentration, I will get nauseous, but if its too little concentration, I get easily distracted or bored. Also, sometimes books just need to be read at certain points in one's life and they will happen when they happen. And this one is happening. I have never read this before actually, its one of those "Yes, yes, I can hardly believe it myself" gaps in my reading self-education list. I'm nearly halfway through already, I don't think it will take me much longer to finish. Particularly if the weather stays the same. (And my direct deposit check never clears.) I am still trying to figure out "southern writing" exactly, particularly my own, since there are some key chapters in my own book that take place there and I think maybe my voice changes and I'm trying to figure it out.
I've been in a bit of another world lately. I'm still not sure if I want to shake myself out of it or not. I might actually have to go deeper in, to go through it. I think this will be okay.
