dammit, if i had written 45 minutes ago i would have had five consecutive daily posts. i haven’t done that in months, i think.
so it sounds bad, but i feel like i have a new lease on life right now. not because it was so bad before, more just because we both knew it was going down and needed to be through. now it is. i needed this pretty badly i think. at least i must have if i’m feeling so rejuvenated now. who cares about valentines day when just sitting in your apartment makes you happy. i know this contentment won’t last forever and in a manner of weeks i’ll be lovelorn again because that’s how i am. but today i’m smiling. that’s the point. some friends and i had a nice dinner with some people i had never met before last night and that was splendid. i read a lot and did laundry tonight, and it was simple and good. i’m looking forward to the sleeping-in-fresh-bedsheets feeling. life is not complicated today, and i’ve been relishing that tonight.
i know the new reggie cd isn’t as good as promotional copy but i’m still going to try to buy it tomorrow when it comes out. have you seen the weird little flash intro on the vagrant site? does he really have a moustache like that right now, do you think, or is that a glue-on? because he’s doing an in-store in riverside this weekend but come on, it’s riverside — i’m not going there for a 4-song in-store set. that moustache makes me want to reconsider though…
more reading. books are my friends.
