No sir.

So I finally dredged up out of the depths of my brain the set of lyrics from Peter Pan's "I Won't Grow Up" that had been eluding me—

'Cause growing up is awfuller
Than all the awful things that ever were
I'll never grow up
Never grow up
Never grow uh-up...
No sir!

—and they have been running though my head ever since. KILL ME.

Tuesday morning.

Violet
Slept well until 6am, at which point I woke up, cleaned the kitchen, and threw all the roots in the house—potatoes, sweet potatoes, beets, onions, carrots, ginger—into a soup. Maybe later I'll toss all the things that grow on trees into the juicer. I know, right? My life: try to keep up.

Nightmares.

Add to Memories Tell a Friend
Violet
last night I dreamt I discovered little white bubble-like growths all down the lefthand side of my face and neck and across my shoulders and on my scalp and when I popped them giant ants crawled out and I thought, This is what I get for eating rice grown from found seeds

and then a nemesis challenged me to a karaoke showdown and the KJ didn't have any of the songs I requested, NOT A SINGLE ONE

and everyone was waiting

Dreams.

Add to Memories Tell a Friend
Violet
a kickball game is underway in a swamp and the alligators have been trained to catch the ball in their jaws and stand up on the water and drop-kick the ball back to land but this one which is unnaturally large (are we sure they are alligators? they may be supernatural creatures, and in any case they are frightening) keeps running up to reclaim the ball so that he is essentially playing kickball with himself

and haruki murakami is giving a lecture on something like globalization and identity and there is a huge audience and we are separated from him by a fence, he is actually in the swamp and occasionally retrieves a stray kickball and tosses it back to the alligators, and a girl comes up to me and asks when he is going to talk about asian american literature and i am trying to explain that althought this lecture isn't really about that she will probably find it of interest anyway but she turns away from me and yells MURAKAMI WHAT DO YOU THINK ABOUT CHINESE FOOD and he actually gives her a direct reply which is something like it can be very delicious in his experience

my view is blocked by three unnaturally large young chinese men who smell of old sweat and i realize how hot it's been

and then you remind me that we have to finish our training so we turn to page 115 of the manual and the next section involves singing directly into the kiosk or Training Machine and it has become nighttime

i am shaky at first but the songs on page 115 are all soft rock classics that for some reason i know quite well and this one is a duet called "quaaludes of tears" as if a quaalude were a measure of tears

i wake up with the tune of this nonexistent song still in my head

On cats.

Add to Memories Tell a Friend
Violet
So our cat, Ophelia (a.k.a. Kitty), who'd slept in Derek's bed her entire life, began boycotting our bedroom after we brought Daisy home in April 2008. (I think this is because for the first couple of weeks we put Daisy's crate in the bedroom with us at night, but Kitty continued to withhold her affection long after Daisy was removed to the hallway.) About a month ago she took up with us again, installing herself nearly 24/7 in the middle of the bed the VERY DAY I put on a brand new duvet cover. Fortunately for us, the duvet cover is white and cat hair doesn't really show up on it, so we were mostly happy that she decided to sleep with us again. This was clearly not her primary motivation, because she mostly abandoned the bed for the top of an open bag of clothes I've been meaning to take to the dry cleaner, which from her feline perspective is just a pile of dark, expensive clothing that cannot go in the washing machine. This bag has been sitting, growing, on top of a dresser for the past couple of weeks, so it has the added benefit of placing her literally above us when we are lying down. Just now, I went in and found her sneering at me from a new throne: the black sweater I wear ALL THE TIME that I carelessly left lying on top of another dresser yesterday. It takes me more energy than it's probably worth to keep it relatively cat-hair free when she's NOT using it for a bed. HOW DO CATS KNOW?
