I-pod elves--yesterday they froze the thing twice, both times during songs that have the word wind in the title. What does that mean? So, totally frustrated by the second time, I stopped poking the dial thingee/menu button 8 million times and just turned on the car radio and THAT song was also about wind. Hmm. Things in threes are always something. Watch out Dorothy.
And then tonight! This thing where out of the blue the same song repeats and won't stop? First it was "Our Lips Are Sealed" which was funny three times through then thank god it stopped. Then again it happened. My very nice friend is up and our little adventure had us driving kind of far to get home and I was like, oh christ I can't listen to Fiona Apple again but he said fuck it, so now we have it memorized. It's fun! You just turn the car stereo volume down and then up again if you forget the words and she's still singing. Love that kind of dependability in a girl.
I didn't even know I had Fiona Apple ON there. That bitch is pretty good. Which song? Let's just say I plan to use a certain phrase in conversation whenever possible this week. Now how many of my victims are going to walk RIGHT into that one? Ha.
I got lost a bunch of times earlier before all this when I was trying to find the BEAUTIFUL house someone is loaning me to write in--it is so beautiful. I finally got there--but only after going down this weird long road with an appalling carcass sitting right in front of me at the creepy dead end, the carcass of a beast which I have seen one of daily the past week though before that hadn't seen in years. But I got away. Will post pictures sometime mabye.
Anyway, in the clean gorgeous firefly twilight with dogs barking far away and clear night sounds, I accidentally took a picture of my legs lounging satanically lazily on the porch, and I also took an accidental picture of my legs in my Ghetto Garrett where I write in downtown Hudson earlier this week. This coincidence I get: it means, get grounded, get your feet on the ground, and walk somewhere. Okay--no complaints here. That I can do. So now I keep taking pictures of my feet whereever they are. It is such a different pace from teaching now.
Weird coincidences have always happened most heavily in my life in July. I am so into pictures right now and these little bloggy writings, I always do this when I'm away and not overloaded. Delicious. And now it is time to get the hell off the computer, which is my major revolution of the summer, actually. The summer list is about fifty times more fun than the other lists.
