crimson and clover

a quick word before i delve into the purgatory that is post-newsletter release invalid email sifting: the media frenzy over 9/11 has begun. well, okay, so it actually began a few weeks ago...but right now it's just disgusting. the last thing that new yorkers need to hear from the new york post is that there's some sort of terrorist plot about to happen that the FBI has been unable to crack. fuck that. we've been living with that prospect for 364 days already. i say that if ever there were a time for blatant self-congratulation for simply NOT FALLING APART and devolving into chaos, now is it. now we need positive reinforcement, not scare tactics.

needless to say, during the hiatus i shall be taking tomorrow, there will be no tv, no radio, none of it. there will be sleeping and singing and loitering in cafes and the sun and congregation with the friends...it's going to be a day of wholesome goodness and pleasure, because if i've got some moral obligation to feel like shit about the day, feel guilty that i'm still alive, well...hell with that.
