Summertime sadness

talking animals

Spend five minutes cooking pasta and a whole other hour musing about it. Have strange vivid dreams of talking animals. Live in a library. Be skinny and pale and not pretty in a typical sense but unconventionally attractive. Listen to The Beatles. Lose something and look for it (cat, wife, etc.). Shovel cultural snow. Meet the Sheep Man. Feel an inordinate amount of pain but still survive.
