Slogging along as usual, I wonder where things have went and why there is to go...
I bought a toaster tonight, a new one. Not from a thrift store. I bought dishes too. New ones. They are nice. Nothing I bought tonight had any black in it. I am afraid that I am getting old.
I'm checking out the Chem Bros gig at the "Joint" tomorrow night- zeroing in solo- not too old to Rock & Roll, far to young to die-
Not getting old- I have plenty of black stuff. I love black... night & earth. Us whities fixate too much.
It actually took me close to half an hour to pick out which dishes I wanted. Well, I instantly found the ones I wanted, but they were eighty bucks. Fuck that. I found a pattern I liked and it took me nearly half an hour to decide between Cobalt Blue and Hunter Green. Should I add registration marks? Not tonight, I have a hunkering dear.
I can't believe it took me so long. I finally chose the blue and walked back towards my cart feeling it was the wrong decision. I've been trying to image what my food would look like on the plate. When I got back to my cart, a young blonde woman was starting to put the two coffee mugs I picked out first when I got into the store. Did I mention I got two coffee mugs too? I did.
I think the blonde's name was Jessica or something. Jessica is one of my absolute favorite names. it has been for several years. Thought you might want to know that.
So Jessica works at this store and was going to put my mugs away. She saw me approach and giggled, "oops, sorry" and I said it was okay... that I was having trouble picking out dishes, blue or hunter... She said go with hunter. We walked over to the display. I explained that i was trying to envision what my pasta dishes would look like on these plates. I looked forlornly at the broken display of the black version of the style, which they were out of. I told Jessica that I dug the black, but I was getting tired of it, maybe I was getting old. Jessica told me that her kitchen was all done up in black and white. I almost asked her if I could see it.
She looked at the blue and said the blue was nice too. We decided that Hunter was the way to go.
Jessica had a pretty smile.
