Aug. 7th, 2004 09:16 amI dreamed for a long time, and towards the end it got unpleasant. I remember the score marks in the windows of my car, and the dead cat inside. I hate that feeling in dreams where you just can't go fast enough.

grey sky and bleach
Aug. 7th, 2004 11:46 amIt's delightfully cool outside, in the mid seventies. The rain must have arrived after I went to bed. Very grey outside, and after the days of endless bright heat it is somewhat of a relief.
What I want most of all is a brilliantly sunny day with cold wind.
And to stop randomly dropping letters from everything I write. I feel as if my recent inability to speak and type at the most coherent level is some creeping linguistic problem in my brain. Mostly it is probably stress and I should try not to freak out and assume I'm losing my mind. Which has been happening more than I care to admit lately.
Right now I'm bathing the bathroom in bleach, from the floor to mirror. I want a new shower curtain.
Alan asked someone who does a lot of concept art and film projects to see if he could create a character sketch for Meier's costuming. He offered his technical services in trade, which don't usually come too cheaply. What love.
What I want more than anything right now is a grant so I could stay home and write a novel or two and not have to go to work.

Aug. 7th, 2004 01:25 pmI think I used too much bleach. The coughing and the burning were pretty painful.
On the bright side, the bathroom is now very white.

Aug. 7th, 2004 06:45 pmOur day has been lovely, and perhaps the best day I've had all summer. We went out to eat, delicious nova lox, salami, cole slaw and an egg salad sandwich. It was pretty good.
I am so creeped out by the Priceline commercials, as an aside.
Anyhow, there was an enormous accident on 183 south so we killed time until we could head back that way. I introduced Alan to the joys of World Market. I love that store. So many random things! They had the most perfect lether chair that felt like it was just made me for me. Too bad I can't justify $600 for a chair. But it really was the best chair ever.
I wanted to buy these heavy candlesticks but I restrained myself. Instead I picked up some ginger incense, marzipan chocolate, some other fancy european chocolates, earl grey tea leaves, raspberry gummies and Crushed Melon Jones soda. I jumped with glee when I saw the soda. I love Jones and it's been forever since I found the Crushed Melon flavor on the shelves. Mmm delicious.
I decided our old shower curtain was too scummy to bother cleaning, and picked up a new liner. Yay clean shower. We picked up giant bottles of Hawaiian Punch, some milk, and then to the liquor store for delicious alcohol. They had a large bottle of slivovice up on a shelf, but I couldn't buy it.
Back home, for lazing. Our cat has a big fluffy belly and Alan has taken to calling him Marshmallow.
