snow now

Perhaps after all what I need is a laptop. Yesterday I set up my iMac on a chair and dragged it across the room so I could write and play from the futon, sitting indian-style, all tangled up in wires. It isn’t the most ergonomical of arrangment, though the light seems to come in a renewed way. I believe I’m mostly done with moving things around now. I ended up telling my landlord that I would stay for another year, she said great, and promised more flowers, and longer washing machine cycles still at the same low price. My neighbours Cheech & Chong vowed to try and grow corn plants on our shared balcony, but what I requested is a windscreen, a sundial. It doesn’t really matter. The important is that plans have been made, and I can now sit back and relax.

But I just can’t wait to be outside, under the bright white sky! On Fridays I am generally useless, and this is when I like best meeting up with a friend, have coffees and walk home early, pleasantly exhausted and a litl-l-e wired.

I wanted to mention the obituary published in the Globe and Mail, about Navarino’s coolest employee, Andrea. Reading this makes me feel sadness and regrets, for friends long lost, my helplessness, I still and never will know what to say.
