it's been 3 months...

I know.  We still don't have internet at our house, though we're sort of looking into Clearwire instead of Comcast.  'Cause Comcast sucks.  

I doubt anyone reads this anymore....  I have about 5 minutes to kill before the washing machine stops and I can load everything into the drier.  Thankfully (and yes, I know I'm misusing the word) Matt's parents live about 2 blocks from us, so we've been doing laundry here and occasionally take advantage of their internet.  Actually, Matt's here every day, playing online chess.  I check Facebook from my phone every day, but that's it.

I'm becoming quite happy in my narrow existence.  Being around people has its benefits, but usually they just make me really tired.  

Matt bought us tickets to the Loudon Wainwright III concert at the Belcourt last Sunday.  His daughter Lucy opened for him, and she had a great voice too.  About 4 songs into his set, though, my bronchial tubes decided that they'd had enough of this breathing shit, and decided to close up.  It's terribly hard to concentrate on anything other than breathing when you can't, so we left a few songs later.  It was disappointing, but he'd blown out his voice a couple days ago in Atlanta, he said, so he wasn't in tip-top shape, anyway.

I hear the washer spinning.  Sometimes it takes a minute, though.

We might take a road trip to Asheville a week from this Saturday.  I have the weekend off, Dawn (Matt's best friend) was going down anyway for an Ani DiFranco show (which sold out before we could afford tickets, which is just as well since we really can't afford tickets)...and Asheville's just a good city.  I like traveling -- in moderation.  Sometimes I just need a break from Nashville.  I've lived here since 2002, which will be 7 years come August.  That's kind of a lot, come to think of it.  I don't like getting older, which is something I shouldn't be complaining about since I'm only 25.

The washer just stopped.  I'm going to Bread and Company for breakfast now.  Yum.

I totally check your blog every other day it seems. I just know there's days (like today) when there are new entries, and, well, it just warms my heart to no end. I hope you don't get tired being around me because in 9 months and 13 days you just may get sick of it :) Write me a letter, and I'll try to do the same.

PS-I may be in Nashville next weekend. So, if I call answer your phone.

PSS-Why is comcast writing on your wall? Totally a big brother moment!

What's in My Journal (by William Stafford)

Odd things, like a button drawer. Mean
things, fishhooks, barbs in your hand.
But marbles too. A genius for being agreeable.
Junkyard crucifixes, voluptuous
discards. Space for knickknacks, and for
Alaska. Evidence to hang me, or to beautify.
Clues that lead nowhere, that never connected
anyway. Deliberate obfuscation, the kind
that takes genius. Chasms in character.
Loud omissions. Mornings that yawn above
a new grave. Pages you know exist
but you can't f ind them. Somebody's terribly
inevitable life story, maybe mine.
