still life.

I had a dream last night about taking pictures. I just walked around taking "still lifes" of flowers and shreds of paper.

I applied for 25 jobs yesterday online. So far, I've gotten two emails: one was an automatic, you'll-never-hear-from-us-again response and the other said "Thank you!" and nothing else. I have no idea what that means. "Thank you! You're a moron!" "Thank you! You're perfect!" "Thank you! Now I don't have to talk to you anymore one way or the other!"

there's one in every pod


Last night, because we don't have cable and the TV only picks up about five English-speaking channels, I had PAX playing in the background so the house wouldn't seem so empty. The very first episode of "America's Funniest Home Videos" was on. Bob Saget looked like a child. And I felt like one. Why did I ever watch that show? It's the equivalent of pointing and laughing at someone who's just fallen down a flight of stairs.

Maybe I just fall down too often to feel okay with that anymore.
