let's talk about the weather...

the weather has really turned. sweatered up and shivery this evening. the room just the other side of the kitchen is filled with plants. have to keep them from the cold, you know. kaffir lime. madagascar palm. crassula (jade plant). coffee shrub. lemon verbena. rubber plant. two avocado trees. begonia. chocolate soldier. geranium (pelargonium). staghorn fern. moth orchid. more will be installed tomorrow. it's a jungle in there. let the wild rumpus start!

till max said, "BE STILL!" and tamed them with the magic trick of staring into their yellow eyes without blinking once and they were frightened and called him the most wild thing of all.... i do love that bit.

vassilis vassilikos. the short story the plant (from, the plant the well the angel). i love that, too. somehow similar. more wild things.

tangential...

was going to say something about how two parties, the idea of two parties, annoys me. how polar. pull-horse with badged eyes. tug-tug-tug o' war. but i'm too sleepy. i'm going to curl up and listen to the wind blow. try to sleep.

adios. to bed without supper.
