for something you found in me

oh look, a beer. specifically, a priest collar. magners and guiness. the guy sitting at the bar had one and i said "that looks autumnal, sure, ok". it was ok. they were calling it a Black and Tan, which is an unfavourable term amongst certain populations (read the link above).

i think i say amongst too much. why is it spell checking me?

neighbourhood walks.

so this was funny. bahamas was playing a set at mtv live and since i had the day off i wanted to go see it. i roped karen in. thank goodness (thank you karen i hope you enjoyed it), because otherwise i would have been the only person over 22 (besides the band), and also because this photo was her idea and she was instrumental in the execution of it.

"sarah. opportunity knocks." we had to sit through the taping of the show (approx. 25 minutes of inane banter and pranks) which was kind of painful in only that way where you feel like a downer-tough-crowd for not being enthusiastic, as the hosts are putting their all into it and there is a creeping edge of discomfort and desperation, but you really can't pretend because, well, they're shocking someone with a dog collar for answering questions about racial stereotypes wrong. but i'm glad we went, the three songs were very much worth it. more of that tonight at the AGO, hopefully there will be no installments of "Stump Whitey" or fake cheering on command.

i learned that being lit from above is terribly unflattering for anyone. i hope that's not actually what i look like and i'm pretty confident that it's not because neither of the other two people actually really look like that, so. here is my face on the way home to make you forget about how potato-y i look up there. smoke and mirrors.

i've been walking hard in these boots, their sound makes me feel tough and invincible (a dangerous thought for me to have).

another night time stroll. it was so foggy out last night. you could see it moving past the streetlamps but of course you can't tell. had to be there. too bad you weren't.

full belly, clean house, quiet streets.
