Over the weekend, Jamie began using two more words: Up and Bubble. Not together, although that would have been extra cute. Doc made a list of his current repertoire: Daddy, Mama, Ham, Hi, Nine, Uh-oh, Yeah, Hot, Up, Ama (Grandma),…
Holy shit. I almost just drank a gecko. How did that little dude get into my glass of water?? He must have been on the inside of the window and just happened to fall right in, kersplash, at exactly the right spot to land in my water glass on the windowsill. He was floating there on the surface tension (he’s pretty tiny, maybe a toddler gecko) and luckily I happened to look into the glass just before taking a swallow and there I was, eyeball to eyeball with him. SHRIEK! Don’t get me wrong. I love geckos. They eat things that I like a whole lot less. Plus they’re cute, and when they crawl up the outsides of the windows they keep the cats occupied for long stretches of time. I just don’t want to ingest one: bad for me, worse for the gecko. I’m pretty sure that I usually just drink without bothering to look inside my glass first. I take the purity of my liquids for granted. I’m also pretty sure that I’m going to change my modus operandi on this whole issue now that I know there’s a possibility of live baby reptiles taking a swim in my drinks.
Ten songs I’m listening to right now: Mining for Gold (Cowboy Junkies) :: recorded in a church, you can hear the echo Whistling For His Love (Danielle Dax) :: i had a dream about giant skiing chickens and this song was the soundtrack Alison (Elvis Costello) :: makes me want to play spades, and i wonder what david nathan is doing these days Something I Can Never Have (Nine Inch Nails) :: why the hell is this one not available on the iTunes music store? Life’s What You Make It (Talk Talk) :: life is what you make it Silent All These Years (Tori Amos) :: i’ve got twenty-five bucks and a cracker, do you think it’s enough to get us there? October (U2) :: yes, but the music and the lyrics are really more november in my head, somehow The Unforgettable Fire (U2) :: carnival, the wheels fly and colors spin through alcohol, red wine that punctures the skin Tryin’ To Throw Your Arms Around The World (U2) :: a woman needs a man like a fish needs a bicycle Plenty (Sarah McLachlan) :: i thought i’d be with you until my dying day Kathryn has finished up her classes and is now interning at the massage school. This equals cheap massage for me! I’ve scheduled with her for next Wednesday night. I can’t wait! It is fairly easy for me now to run 3.5 miles at a stretch. My last three runs have been 3.5, 3, and 3.5 miles each. So I think that the 4-mile I’m gearing up for this Saturday will not be too difficult. The hardest part is getting into that “zone” thing, where I’ve passed the point where my body’s yelling at me to stop, and everything kind of evens out — the breathing, […]
