Today--the weather was beautiful. I woke up early and didn't really mind that much. The sky was this color that seemed to go on forever. I listened to Tom Petty on the way to work, like usual. At lunch, they were even playing my favorite Van Morrison song [I'll Be Your Lover, Too], which is completely, utterly obscure.
They Might Be Giants is coming into the store on Tuesday and I get to work it. Not exactly sure what time I'm supposed to be there, so I'll call Tank and ask him. They made a kids' album, which isn't as cool as if it were just a new release, but whatever. It's standing around, listening to cool music and having fun--I even got a free cd out of it, but I'll probably send that off to the little cousin. The daughter of my uncle who went to Michigan State--whenever she's here, I make sure that she remembers to scream GO BLUE and all the words to the fight song. That comes in especially handy when we spill Spartan blood on the field, like last year....
I can't wait for the spring. I want to take a road trip out west along the northern route--spend some time in Wyoming and swing through Montana. Just lay in some fields and watch the clouds hang out.
On the way back from work, it hit me that it's been years since I've been somewhere absolutely dark where all the stars were visible. When I was little, it used to scare the shit out of me when we'd go visit Stephanie, the family friend with a horse and two ponies, because everything would be pitch black. Those were back in the day when the mom was still in law school, still in her early thirties.
Don't know why, but I've bene jonesing to get out somewhere green. Really, insanely green.
Until then, I'll just silently wait for the spring and try to get some of my homework done. Graduation really could be a cool thing to do. You never know.

It's amazing that sometimes you (I) forget that there are stars...which sounds weird but you look up and can only see them ever-so faintly in Madison...you have to look for them. Then when I go places that are fantastically green without the brightness of a city for miles and miles the brightness of the stars and moon just jumps out at you...I love it.
They Might Be Giants made the theme song for Malcolm in the Middle!! I'm fairly sure it's the only song they've ever made...you know, "You're not the boss of me now!! You're not the boss of me now!! You're not the boss of me now, and you're not so big!!...Life is unfair..."
That song. : P
