I YAM FAMOUS

I found my car on google earth.


44- 29'20. N 73-12, 47W


I left out the last number to preseve a little mistery, after all you could scheme to steal it.


Stupid joke, but seriously. I love that car.

Also, yesterday I was walking down the street and a little fiat came out of a gas station parking lot, with an alarm blaring, only the alarm was blaring a voice, which said, 'this vehicle is being robbed. Please call 1blah-blah-blah-blah-blah-blah-blah. And rarely have I been more certain of something as when I said to She, no one is ever going to call that number.



Since thats the way the world works, this is how I roll on google earth.


That sounded like a common line. Even if I had never written that, he read it and then stolen in (all in the near future), even if he had struck it out of the ether rather than me and I thought it for the first time when I heard him speak it, no doubt in the presence of my friend Pete, I would only cock a smile.





.........................................................................Those eyes .

Then I would say to pete, he just said 'google earth'.

And pete, apologetic- or rather, saddened- would say

'I know.'

Song of the day

I was sitting in the bathroom and where the floor is bare in the photo now is a mattress, a mini mattress, the guest mattress, and on it was lying She, in hooded sweatshirt and pyjama pants.
The winter sun was coming weakly though the thick glass of the closed window, bathing her in heat, and she wiggled around, streching. She looked, in a word, gustosa. The whole situation did.

I started to sing the song of the day-

Pandinha no sol
Pandinha no sol
ela veio porque falaron
que en Brasil tem bamboo grande
mas agooooora
fais muuuuuito
frioooooo, agoooora,
quer voltar para China

Pandinha no sol

Ela ficou sem dinhero
e o que e pior ainda
e que uuuuuuurso
tem queeeee compraaaaar
duas pasagem
porque urso panda
tem bunda tão grande
que precisa duas vagas

Pandinha no sol
Pandinha no sol

(Little panda in the sun

She came because she heard
about the bamboo in Brazil
but now its suuuuuper
cooooold and sheeee wants
to go back to China

Little panda in the sun

She got no money left
and what makes matters worse
is that paaaaaandas
have to buy two tiiiickets
just for one panda
because pandas got big butts

little panda in the sun.

One time we were in a bar and the creative types around us started assigning animals to everyone based on looks, a practice I thoroughly endorse. Indeed, on the bus this morning I explored the possiblilities of writing a work of applied geometry to show exactly why one person looks like a horse, another a mouse. Anyway around that table, She recieved a few votes, I had thought, for panda. But now She, fresh from the shower and now sanding the dead skin off her feet, denies this.

She says it was cat, which we both agree is way off the mark. Especially since there are so many people walking around that every moment you see them you can only think cat, cat, cat and go crazy remembering that they are human, and perhaps can be trusted as much as any other, though certainly not, and even think that if you were to sleep with them they would bite you with tiny sharp teeth.

My vote for She is between panda and puppy.

Her vote for me is, unfortunately,

Today on the street...

I saw an old woman with no nose applying large strokes of her hand to the corner of a pet shop window. A few more steps showed one of the two white kittens inside following it bodily, and then a second look at grandma showed her glee.
