meditations on a day less crappy:
There was a girl at Starbucks, and the barista apologized to her for having too much foam on the coffee to fit a lid on the cup. Without missing a beat, the girl smiled, picked up the cup, sipped the extra foam off the top, and handed the cup back to the barista for a lid. Poise, baby.
I like the heft of a $10 roll of quarters. I will like having clean things to wear, sleep on, and dry myself with better.
A grande chai latte fits perfectly in my bike's watter-bottle holder.
Sometimes I like to peg people for fashion reference: chunky cream-colored turtleneck sweater, brown tweed blazer, dark boot-cut jeans, and red oxfords. Mental note: acquire brown tweed blazer.
Current Music: Johnny Western, The Ballad of Paladin
Current Mood: ... less ... crappy ...
p.s. I bought my mom a shirt at an airport gift shop last weekend. It's purple, and it has a fancy red hat on it. Her favorite poem starts "When I am old, I shall wear purple, and a red hat that doesn't go." I revel in my thoughtfulness.
