yo yo yo

yo la tengo at the forum with jamie and mark.

had an RDO today. got to sleep in, make a trip to IKEA, read a book and sew a skirt before tramming into have dinner with the guys and jill before the gig.

i like having an extra day up my sleeve.

8pm til 2am

feasting on pancakes (disguised as crepes) for frassy's birthday. happy birthday dear af.

i NEVER said i had too many books...

i shall deny it.

garth nix's lord sunday is out. last of the keys to the kingdom series. i'll be reading it all afternoon. nix was at the sydney writer's festival in 2009, we listened to him and isobel carmody whilst sitting on the dock. good memories.

along the way

two of the people in my neighbourhood
in my neighbourhood, in my neigh...bour... hood...

too many books, not enough shelves

and i'm now surrounded by my favourite words again. came across this...

I Want to Breathe
you in I'm not talking about
perfume or even the sweet

odor of your skin but of the
air itself I want to share

your air inhaling what you
exhale I'd like to be that

close two of us breathing
each other as one as that.

and then there's...

I Wrote a Good Omelet

I wrote a good omelet... and ate a hot poem...
after loving you

Buttoned my car... and drove my coat home... in the
rain...
after loving you

I goed on red... and stopped on green... floating
somewhere in between...
being here and being there...
after loving you

I rolled my bed... turned down my hair... slightly
confused but...I don't care...
Laid out my teeth... and gargled my gown.. then I stood
...and laid me down...
to sleep...
after loving you
