dilation
frak! it’s been 6 hours and my eyes are *still* dilated!
in between
i’m sitting on a bench inside the west hollywood park basketball courts. our old stomping ground. we played horse here. i took picures of a guy shooting hoops. then i took pictures of a pick up game; i was trying to capture action. i took pictures of two guys playing tennis; i was trying to figure out my film slr. did i ever get that film developed? the pacific design center has a new entrance. i am sitting in the shadow of the red building which has been under construction for over two years and is not yet finished. damn recession. i voted at the auditorium down the street; my state voted against me. i never swam in the pool here; too many tiny kids peeing in it. i swim in a different pool now; with plenty of adults who probably also have bladder issues. i was sitting in the shade but have been sitting here long enough that i am now sitting in the sun.
i sit here not because i miss it, but because it is familiar. i know where to park. i know my way around. i feel comfortable. i can linger for a while and not feel like i’m imposing or being imposed upon. i’m not expected to pay anything or leave a tip. i can just sit in the sun and be.

our new light
the title is misleading. this light isn’t new at all. it’s one of the older items in our domicile. it predates our relationship. but it has acquired a new elevated status as the light that is perfect when reflected instead of hideous when used directly. makes me want to set up some still lifes and click click click.
one-way tickets
first the ticket to hawaii. now the ticket to d.c. they both left me with green plants to tend in their absence. i may have to go to therapy for my abandonment issues. i may take the plants with me. i am not expected to return these lovelies but i hope they flourish and that their previous owners may see them again just as healthy as when they were bequeathed to me. i can’t turn away plants. they are good for the soul.

Watermelon gherkins
Saw these at whole paycheck. They come from suzie’s farm in san diego. The large, light-colored ones are soft and taste fishy. The small, dark-colored ones are crunchy and taste like concentrated cucumber or sometimes like watermelon rind. They certainly have the crunch of a watermelon rind. Either way, they are certainly unique. And so darn cute.
