Sunday afternoon
Jul. 16th, 2006 04:54 pm95F (35C) in the shade. Some of the hydrangea leaves have curled and blackened, as though I held a match beneath them.
I cleaned and filled the hummingbird feeders, even though I haven't seen any since the single fly-by of a few weeks ago. The levels in the feeders have dropped, but I'm inclined to think gravity is playing a role. I'd like to be proved wrong, though.
King has been inside this weekend, which has made for an interesting time. Very much like having a two year-old in the house, which makes it difficult to get any writing done. That being said, I've holed up in my office with the door closed. Things are currently quiet. Let it continue.
ETA: King didn't destroy anything, and I managed to get both checking accounts up to date. Also refilled the bird feeder that's in the shade. Shade means earwigs in the seeds and the outside of the feeder. When I take down the feeder, which is above the level of my head, things fall on me, then skitter away. It's all very Dario Argento.
A shorter snippet:
He seemed at first glance the sort of man one saw on Family fringes, a door opener and holder of the coats, all slicked silver hair and expensive tailoring.

In some alternate universe...
Jul. 16th, 2006 07:33 pmDug around a bit, and am compelled to admit to self that I imagined an album that had never existed. Yes, The Clash recorded Sandinista!, but the sleeve looks completely different than I remembered it when I thought it had been recorded by The Police.
It doesn't negate this short story I'm thinking of. There's just this little internal connection that no longer exists that I regret losing.
The good news is that the eBay search I made of 1980ish Clash LP covers went off the rails in the direction of the Hoodoo Gurus' Stoneage Romeos, which is one of the Best! Albums! Ever! Purchased a remastered edition complete with a poster and 2 bonus tracks. The fact that it has been released on the Acadia label is just a funny bit of happenstance.
