I awoke this morning earlier than I had anticipated. Someone was crashing on my couch, the blinds were drawn, a murky sleepiness shrouded the various appliances and furniture under the cast-off light of the subterrenean basement apartment.
I managed to assemble my coffee after a tedious locating of the various essential parts. Drank coffee.
Return to make bed only to find a lighter where a body should be (a live one, mind you). Did I just plant a symbol for the lack of passion and fire in this bed? A poor substitute. A dangerous substitute. Why do I have a lighter in my bed? Or, more directed, why do I have a lighter in my pocket or my hand when I’m deciding to go to sleep? It’s a sign of the oncoming winter that I am even wearing something of a significant cloth to body ratio that pockets would be in company. I hate this cloth distribution in winter. Get it off!
In other news, I was walking to work the other day and I saw two women walking with a toddler and baby in a stroller and immediately thought, “What a cute lesbian couple.” Upon closer observation, I realized that the two women were more closely akin to what would be referred to as, “mother and daughter.” I believe this blood relation is more the culprit for the vibe of being so close and made for eachother than any shared romantic love. Waaaaaay off. Nice. I should pay more attention on my walk to work.
This lack of sustained focused attention was then repeated when I turned down a street to find a garbage can. Upon locating garbage can I utterred a low “Oooooh yeah” of the most perverted dirty old man variety. As I expanded my view, I noticed a group of tweens standing close to the garbage can, likely wondering why I’m getting all excited. Or, thinking that they know what I’m “Oooooh yeah” ing about, but becoming confused after noticing that I am a young woman displaying creepy old man tendencies.
Riddles for the youth. At your service.
Strange bedfellow
Just bought this today, I’m excited to listen on some proper sound set up. I bought the previous compilation released by this label on Nigerian music from the 70’s and it was most excellent. So far, so good on the track listening.
