"Lazy Line Painter Jane"

Lazy Line Painter Jane prayed for an inspiration that would lift her above the mundanity of midday on a Thursday. She was in a hole, sat with egg and chips, watching busses throught the plate glass and easy radio of some old cafe. She was too bashful to pray outright in the cafe, so she pretended to read her fortune at the bottom of her tea cup, and she got what she wanted that way....

A woman who found herself too late. That's me. I am standing in my kitchen nook in my work suit, listening to LOW's Great Destroyer a little louder than usual. Drinking a newly opened bottle of Cab., I am pissed that my wireless router died in the last thunderstorm.

So am I Lazy Line Jane? I dunno.

Things I have been thinking about lately:
1. How the body changes by doing a target workout--like running or swimming.
2. How spring always always takes me unawares-one minute it is a snowstorm, the next it is 80 degrees and green. I never see it coming.
3. I am wrong. and often.
4. Once you have given your heart to someone who didn't want it in the first place, it still doesn't seem to grow back for anyone else.
5. Tornado dreams for me must be like dreams of falling or death for others-my reoccuring nightmare that indicates extra-stress. Last night I was actually taken up into the wind tunnel and after a few revolutions, set down again undisturbed. It came back to get me later in the dream, though.
6. What is Cyprus like in June?
7. Running has once again provided an outlet to mool over the puzzle.

Life seems to be passing by at a furious rate. I notice people staring at me more these days. Not sure why--but they do. Too bad I don't have the superpower to hear other peoples thoughts.

A friend of mine saw Belle and Sebastian in Louisville recently. I was jealous. But he doesn't have 2nd row center to Wilco.

On the movie front--recently saw GOOD NIGHT, GOOD LUCK and CAPOTE as well as SYRIANA (sp). Loved them all for different reasons. Had the hardest time with the latter, as I was in the way back and could not read the subtitles to save my life. Must see again--next time, front row. God, I am getting old!

Touche. Hope as always that you are well.
