exhibit 5: blue over me

"Honest, your honor, I thought she was 16."

Look! There's weather today!

Antony wanted proof, locked as he is in his dark little office, too sick to go out for a cigarette, so I broke the lock on the trapdoor to the roof, took photographs and sent him a pictorial essay: on the treatise that the sky can be a blue colour in the city of Vancouver. It was deliciously warm up there, perfect for my bare feet.

Of course, since I was up there, a gray haze has been taking back the sky. I say we petition and have it thrown out.

Nicole and I are continuing Alastair's bathroom today. When we're done it will be a pale ghost of butter yellow with a cheerful blue sky on the ceiling. It's all Very! Spring! I'll try to remember to take pictures. His shower curtain alone is worth the price of admission.

Yesterday Andrew met a man who'd never seen the ocean before. "Tourists took pictures of him, swimming fully clothed, just off the seawall."

(Apparently it's a holiday. Happy Guy-Onna-Stick Day).

It's better when you see it in context of the rest of them.

Wibble wibble, wobble wobble.

You know what this means?

In a few days, this place will be flooded with sales on chocolate.

Yes!

I call that holiday Schmeaster. Like Schmalentine's Day and Schmalloween. You celebrate by buying as much discount holiday candy as you can carry.

This is where I admit that whenever I get appropriate little tasty treats, I hide at least a third of them around my room to find later. I found a bar of chocolate on top of my bookshelf last week. I've no idea when I put it there, but it was delicious.

Being tall, I used to hide quarters all over the place at some of my previous jobs. On window ledges just above doors, etc. Places that nobody else was tall enough to see, and few people could even reach. Then, whenever somebody would ask to borrow a quarter, I'd just reach up from wherever I was standing and pull one out of nowhere. ♥

And now, it's time for another Good Idea, Bad Idea.

Good Idea: Finding an Easter egg on Easter morning.

Bad Idea: Finding an Easter egg on Christmas morning.

The whole thing's only really about shagging, anyway. The chocolate's just a bonus.

You should photoshop in some skywriting.

What a good idea! I'll have to file that away for later, though, for when Ihave time to go learn how to do that. *grins*

Boy, I feel sorry for that painter. He has consentual sex with someone and now he's a registered sex offender.

the sheer number of explicitly bare and honest photographs coming from your blog, alongside heart-wrenchingly exposed poetry and prose sometimes lulls the reader and the passerby into thinking that they knwo you and that you're someone that lives inside their hemisphere. little do many strangers know that no one knows a stranger better.

no one knows a stranger better than a stranger?

I've made quite a number of legitamate friends here, I like being open about my world. Of course, the majority of intimate important things don't get written here, or they get written in the code of personal mythology.

The thing that struck me most about that is that they're all only in grade five. That's how old? Eleven? Twelve?

Two were 11, one was 12, and a fourth was 13 (it's Louisiana, they aren't that quick).

No one's ever accused me of being Shelly Winters before. Have you read much of Scary-Go-Round?

It was recommended to me some months ago, but I only started reading it yesterday. I've been through the first five or six chapters so far.

'Twas the physical resemblance in that particular sequence which, coupled with your known zombie tendencies, boggled my brain. It didn't seem coincidental; I thought that surely Mr. Allison (like everyone else in the world) must know you and have forged the resemblance on purpose. But I thought I'd point it out just in case.

Of course, said resemblance went away again after the episode with the golf cart, so it may yet be coincidental.
