Okay I just watched about two hours of Cops and never did see the high speed chase with the Trans Am as promised by the intro clips. Also, there are terrifying infomercials on at this hour. I have to say that the beach version of Cops is signficantly less entertaining, despite the presence of people in swimwear. Oh late night television, why must you fail me so? There's some South Park on, which is currently showing girls gone wild commercials. On the bright side, TCM is showing Closely Watched Trains which I must record for later viewing. This late at night, one should really only be watching trash TV and not weighty existential Czech film.

nothing like a morning to sleep late

I woke up just in time to see the scenes in Mr. & Mrs. Smith where Pitt and Jolie beat the hell out of each other. Love love love.

The city is also freaking out about dead birds all over Congress. "No credible threat" according to Homeland Security. I'm a lot more concerned about bird flu than terrorism. But typing this entire paragraph gave me uncomfortable flashbacks to Children of Men.

Well. Guess there's nothing else to do but go shopping before the end of the world. I knew I should have purchased a damned gas mask. Hah!

how could you know

as the earth swung
this golden hum
washed over me

Today I used the last of my Christmas money to buy a new comforter and sheets. I have the same comforter I've had on my bed since I was about twelve or thirteen. It's falling apart, literally. Tyler got a new bedset for Christmas that is lovely, so I picked up the same comforter but in black. I also purchased some vivid green sheets to go with them. they're washing now, so they will be soft and warm for my bed tonight.

I also bought new clothes because I need a new pair of comfortable jeans. I found yet another quasi-military denim jacket that I fell instantly in love with, and just had to have it. I also bought a dress, something I haven't done in probably about three years. I was thinking I don't have anything to wear if I wanted to go eat out in a fancy restaraunt, or take myself to some high brow theater. I tried it on mostly as a lark, and was shocked when it fit. I suppose I'm going to need a strapless bra to wear it now, but it looks impressive.

Shoe shopping was also on my list, but had to be cancelled. I looked down while buying clothes and noticed my right toes were covered in blood. oddly enough, whatever I did to myself didn't hurt. Weird.

Happy birthday David Bowie! You are always number one for me.

So, sixty something dead birds on Congress this morning. Weird. Bird Death Flu! Chaos! Madness! Seriously, how weird is that?

Does anyone else read 365 Tomorrows? They have some pretty good pieces. the one up today about the death of the sun is awesome. Awe inspiring short fiction.

I am writing to you form the comfort of my new beautiful sheets and comforter. oh this is nice. I wish I could stay here all week long.
