When she finally calmed down, M’s five year old told us we could get married… as long as it wasn’t permanent.
1. Tumblr is the errant lovechild of Livejournal and Wordpress.
2. Blogging while using my fiancee’s projector (which has a screen that is about as large as a four door car) makes me feel like I’m from the future.
I love the “C.C.” at the bottom.
Point taken.
Writing should touch near and far. May these words touch you well. May we meet so well again.

Ani Difranco - Both Hands
I am walking
out in the rain
and I am listening to the low moan
of the dial tone again
and I am getting nowhere with you
and I can’t let it go and I can’t get through…
The old woman behind the pink curtains
and the closed door
on the first floor
she’s listening through the air shaft
to see how long our swan song can last
And both hands
now use both hands
oh, no don’t close your eyes
I am writing
graffiti on your body
I am drawing the story of
how hard we tried
I am watching your chest rise and fall
like the tides of my life,
and the rest of it all
and your bones have been my bedframe
and your flesh has been my pillow
I am waiting for sleep
to offer up the deep
with both hands
In each other’s shadows we grew less and less tall
and eventually our theories couldn’t explain it all
and I’m recording our history now on the bedroom wall
and when we leave the landlord will come
and paint over it all
And I am walking
out in the rain
and I am listening to the low moan of the dial tone again
and I am getting nowhere with you
and I can’t let it go
and I can’t get through
So now use both hands
please use both hands
oh, no don’t close your eyes
I am writing graffiti on your body
I am drawing the story of how hard we tried
hard we tried
