from cloverst :
i was looking at that moon too as i was driving down 101 towards San Luis Obispo. it was the end of twilight and next to the road a doe and fawn were standing, waiting to cross. i think deer are so strange and ephemeral, the moon was somehow more real.

email: [email protected]. i always miss the hat tossing part. is everyone is able to catch their hat, or must people make a conscious effort to not be unceremoniously hit in the head?
from apparitional :

from wateryone :
What do I have on my comfort shelf at the moment? Plainwater by Anne Carson. Where the Wild Things Are. The Lady's Not for Burning. Always Coming Home by Ursula Le Guin and Birthday Letters by Ted Hughes. Those are my comfort books at the moment. When you were younger, did you used to carry certain books with you everywhere you went, just because you felt safer having them? Maybe that's just me.
from wateryone :
ooohhh, John Ashbery writes perfect comfort books. I love having The Wave near me. I have a comfort shelf, with lots of comfort books, so I'm so glad to hear you use a similar phrase.

you leave the best notes. i've never actually printed anything to date, commitment fears maybe. anyway. i keep forgetting to tell you how atmospheric your entries feel. that's good; i need my fix.
from leaf :

from throwingjuly :
"Vanity Fair" by W.M. Thackeray. most of the characters aren't exactly likable, but they're compelling, and the unabridged version goes for around 671 pages, so...or else "One Hundred Years of Solitude" by G.M. Marquiez. he's almost Calvino-esqe, or else Calvino is Marquiez-esqe. It's not so long, but the people are friendlier. either.
from apparitional :
update more (please?)
from apparitional :
be in a very atmospheric mood when you write... but that of course isn't always possible. probably why my entries can be so choppy. i like your diary.
