Feb. 27th, 2006 03:05 pmin and on my mind today:
also, on the subway this morning i saw, for the second time, a depressing sight. a middle-aged woman, average and with an oddly soft face, she messily spills over onto two or three seats with her over-filled bag and both times she was eating, also messily. career clothes and sensible sneakers. she sits and takes out a sad purple dimestore journal and dr. phil's "the relationship rescue workbook". she writes a little and flips back and forth through the book on the long train ride in. it makes me a little sad -- to see her pursue this haphazard solution while obviously distracted, hemmed in by strangers. i wish i could send her an anonymous, visual postcard of herself. she seems like a caricature of 'modern career woman' - all the tasks crammed into her commute but no attention or grace to any of them.
- taleggio cheese (stracchino in disguise!)
- the bananas at home are still too green to eat.
- rollerskating rollerskating rollerskating!
- i am so glad the stupid olympics are over.
- it was 8°F when we left the house, barely more than that now, counting windchill.
- new sopranos season starts march 12!
- last night: a convincing dream about time-travel.
- i am very tired of listening to the upstairs neighbors fighting.
- must must must get some real work accomplished today.
