i have spent the afternoon
quiet
and
alone

searching for christmas songs
and recipes for a good garlic-y lemon-y
vinaigrette
and listening to seether, rosie thomas,
bif naked, and the decemberists
among others...

i'm contemplating
cracking open that borrowed book
(the historian)
or finally breaking down and ripping
the plastic off the magazine i've been
eagerly
hoarding...

sigh...what a sweet saturday.
