Is It Because I Lied When I Was Seventeen?

It's raining today. Big drops & small drops, falling drops & climbing drops & drops going pretty much every which way. Add to that yesterdays insight (there's really only one way for me to avoid spending money around here - stay indoors) & the fact that there needs to be some cleaning up of this room, shall Hillary be staying here soon. (Yes, I have been in town for four days. So? A girl has got a right to throw her things around her, hasn't she?)

So, in other words, this is staying-right-here-day. So far so good, have woken up & had brekfast (potatoes & avocado - what more can a girl ask for), made coffee & am about to have a hot shower, it is a bit cold in here.

As usual I had too much for breakfast. That goes for pretty much every meal here, simply beause everything is so damn Good. Considering that almost everything is also very good for you, I have decided not to bother.

Oh, saw Y Tu Mamá También yesterday. Still haven't decided exactly how good I thought it was - it was obviously entertaining, but somewhat inconsistent, & with an ending that might have been excellent had it not been for... for what Dorothy? I don't know. I need to think about this further. But - BUT - oh my, are those guys hot.

A little trip to Mexico, anyone?

Have been & will be listening to Cold War Kids all day, a sort of mental preparation for the show Saturday night. Singing in the shower, packing my bags again. Something tells me good times are A-Waitin'.

I just wish the lovers weren't so damn far away. It already feels like I'm carrying around a disgusting amount of miss, all scrunched up & thumbed, shoved into the back pockets of my heart. It's not a heavy burden, but a bittersweet one.

Let's try no to think about it. Oh, here's me & my brother having a little conversation (he's the bomb guy, I'm more of the snail):

To do today:

Clean room

Have more coffee

Sit around & wait for some Mbeba love to show up

Talk to Megan online

Pet dog (Jesper)

Wash my hair

Once & for all look up Newcastle on a map

Ask the Queenies about their days

Watch crazy American TV

Hug Hillary forever

Talk talk talk with Hillary

Write with Hillary

Rhyme with Hillary

Get drunk with Hillary

(Stop rhyming with Hillary)

So, bottom line: I am well, I am having a good time. Now, let me know how you all are doing. From Malmö to Paris, from London to the sleepy forests of Uppsala, to Florida via Göteborg via Nashville Tennessee - know that I am thinking of you. Why don't you give me your address & I will give you back some postal serviced love. Deal?

Take Care
