SHAKE THE BABY SHAKE THE BABY SHAKE THE BABY

My forearms and toes are cold. Light's shooting in from outside lamps, a canary lit in the rosebushes today, waxy japanese magnolia petals littered down on the blue tarp, wow what a juxtaposition. Things I'm enjoying:

- Miss Phyllis' company, who I bring meals to. She's blind & lives in a trailer. She's always done up so pretty, long white hair, perfume, pink lipstick. This afternoon I brought her a nice chicken & sweet potato dish I made in electric skillet. Mmm, buttery.
- Electric skillet.
- The vision I had of the woman who runs the consignment costume/dress shop here on Oak Street (thanks Erie! The baby shaking's for you!), in her office w/full regalia including a gorgeous big hat, vintage glasses and pearls, silver hair & a slash of red lipstick, smoking a cigarette and saying, "Don't you look cute!" while I smile shyly humbled by her raw crone beauty. The smell of cigarette smoke mixed with perfume a woman of a certain age wears.
- Josh Ritter's "The Animal Years". I know it's not the most original thing on the planet but it's lovely and hey, you gotta hand it to a guy this drop dead luscious who'll move to the sticks cuz he just needs to be in the country. Mmm, corduroys.
- 30 Rock (thanks iTunes)! Oh my god, Tracy Morgan is f'in sick he's so funny. Plus Tina Fey. More importantly: Alec Baldwin. Mmm, silvery.
- Earl grey tea
- Considering whether or not to incorporate ArtInAction as a non-profit.
- My red sweater.
- The postcards I'm getting from this postcard exchange I'm a part of: strangers make postcards & send them to eachother. I dreamt I got one much like the ones I sent out & was marveling at the odds of that. What are the odds of that?
- My Gays.
- The idea of going to see a movie in a theatre, like "Pan's Labyrinth" or "The Departed".
- Electric blanket!
- Sass attacks
- Knowing I'll be able to get a good haircut and pedicure in about a week. Mmm, cleanly.
- Checking shit off the list
- Walnuts and damn stinky cheese
- Sobriety
- The secret I'm keeping! Mmm, secret-y!
