she moves and it's fire

My beautiful Texas sky is a grey blank, chilly and clouded over. Time just stands still beneath it and nothing moves. I cleaned up the living room this morning and took down my tree, dry and crackling. I wrapped my lamp in the green lights and arranged the blue & white ones over the wall beside my bed. Now some light will turn on when I hit the switch by the door. My room is full of soft tinted light.

Yesterday I downloaded a bunch of Remy Zero while I waited for my hair to dry. This band is good, especially This Golden Hum. I would listen to that over and over on my discman while riding the trams in Brno. I know at least one time I started singing along to a song without realizing it. I've always loved the line "anywhere with you I knew I was home." I remember saying that to someone I loved, a very long time ago. I would run around in the afternoons listening to "Impossibility" over and over, or "Over the Rails and Hollywood High." I listened to this album, This Desert Life from the Counting Crows and the soundtrack to Singles almost obsessively.

I slept all afternoon, and dreamed strange dreams of packing too many things out of empty houses. My right leg aches for some reason and I think I twisted my ankle a little. That i'm going to blame on wearing my Prague hooker shoes. Damn but I love those things so much. They make me at least five foot six and cost me ten dollars somewhere in Prague on a summer afternoon.

Soon I should hop in the shower. My feet are cold and I could stand to be a little cleaner or at least nicer smelling. Tonight I'm going out, downtown even. Adventurous. Which means I should figure out exactly where I'm going, as my sense of direction is so poor that I'm lucky to find my way home every day.

You know, I really should get the Singles soundtrtack again; the song "Would" is a particular favorite.
