i thought i might use microsoft word, and was prompted to choose a template by this name, ‘blank and recent’. i could not seem to get it out of autocorrect and gave up, but it set me thinking.
it is me.
tsuki is home from the hospital today, but back tomorrow and the next. he has new pills and daily injections and must drink lots of water. there is risk of kidney damage or deafness. the doctors are confident he will heal quickly. i spent $723 tonight.
i look forward to the colbert report when i come home. it is in high def online now, and they've built a new set. it is good to see that the world is bigger than my own sadness, and that the sadness of everything can be funny. irony is the ultimate dichotomy. comedy, tragedy. opposing, but not oppositional.
or maybe it is death opposing life.
but death is irony as well. don't you think?
there is a neon green icon on my desktop that reads "2:00". it is an alarm i downloaded in mexico. i could not use my phone because of roaming charges, and i did not bring an alarm with me, although i did manage to remember four months worth of acne cream, peptol bismol and candles. the program plays a song that came as a sample with my itunes. bells, xylophone maybe. plucking. crawling. it is beautiful and so still. i remember waking to it with the roosters thinking "this is mexico in the morning". smiling.
