Sitting here watching the traffic and the part-time parade of people

[theivoryqueen]

from my gallery on Commerce street. The art is quiet and the drinks are strong and for once, the dogs are leaving me alone. I give it a minute and a half and they will be nosing around for a walk. It is truly pleasant. Where are you and what do you see?

4. You should write poetry

Nice post.

I see my computer monitor, speakers, fan, a bottle of Pepcid AC, a half empty pint of Dewar's, a salt shaker, a half empty bottle of taco sauce, a candle, two packs of Marlboro reds, a Farfisa Pianorgan, my TV, my stereo, my ashtray, the lights flashing on my external modem, my remote controls . . .

BUT I WANT TO SEE SOME POLICE ACTION, DAMNIT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

7. You are very powerful

That kinda goes along with having a telephone, eh? I'm glad you finally got one.

Heh.

6. Sounds nice!

I'm currently sitting in the sadly empty room of my daughter. Just my puter, a mattress... (minus the frame) w/my dog on it; curled up sleeping in his "deer pose", a small shelf w/her various abandoned books, an old tv (currently on CNN's Newsnight ) and miscellaneous other odds and ends of her (my daughter's) former life here.

I never dreamed it'd be this hard to get used to her being gone. "Empty Nest Syndrome" is what they call it, but I never thought I'd experiance such sadness as a result. In fact, I hate to admit this, but I kind of looked forward to "being free" at this (relatively) young age of 38. I had plans, even...

...Among other things, I wanted to redue the room I am currently sitting in- (the whole upstairs actually--- since all of it had been my daughter's domain, and I had long dreamed of what I could eventually do w/the extra space). Yet, since she's been gone; first to college, and now Boston for her summer job, I've become far too aware of how much I miss her. I hardly ever come up here anymore and have changed very little about these rooms since she left.

However, one cool thing that happened just NOW was hearing the thumping af a deer run by. They're all over the place since we've had such a mild winter. Also it's great to be able to have the window open now! It wasn't that long ago that I had the woodstove going. Another GLORIOUS Maine summer is on it's way. Hopefully it'll perk me up.

8. You're good

Don't worry.

9. theivoryqueen has not returned

I hope he didn't try to videotape a Rodney King type of event and get arrested or his teeth knocked in by the cops. Did he take his dogs with him? Why did he have to sign off for the police action? This sucks.
