most awkward...

from the bus window i looked into the window of the half house. strapped to the back of the blue tow truck. inside a chandelier was hanging. it was angled and arrested with grey cable. it didn't move. if i had half a house i wouldn't have a chandelier. ostentation.

behind the house (briefly) a boy in a broad-rimmed sun hat and heavy bag on his back. a very small boy. the grass was up around his waist. and before the boy several miles of hills with undulating grain. it was ridiculously pretty. a wave of wind skimmed off of waves. and then waving grain.

occupied with dot-to-dots. really the simplest machines. pulleys and string. they appear flat. but suspect that some recede into a white distance. tightening. some strain forward. tightening. even simply i'm clumsy. a bird almost appears. the defining line recedes. a bird almost appears. a beam comes sharp against me. and unlike numbered instruction the plots have yet to. figures without figures.

in other news...

a gaggle of nerds camped outside the freemont theatre. i like them! even the one wearing darth garb. the on-lookers were scowling. someone was terribly offended that people wasted their energy on such. it's got to be wasted on something. like bitching for instance.

If I had half a house I'd have half a chandelier. "There's a light on this tree that won't light on one side." It was a lie, but I'd get those half lights for my half chandelier turn the dimmer down halfway.

you know, i was thinking nearly the same thing. half a chandelier is the way i'd go. i hadn't thought of half lights and halfway down. but it certainly suits.

damon, "i can just picture it..." is better than what i could have done with a lens.

dominic, if i could contain birds in orders balloons would be there too. a matter of flying. my exercises are grounded. from the ground everything flying is dot. someday i'm going to have to have a lend of that balloon of yours. that way what recedes can be followed. what crowds can be fled. etc etc

also, i've found stamps. expect fireball request.
