Cursive - From the Hips
“And we’re all just trying to play our roles, in play that runs ad nauseum. I hate this damn enlightenment; we were better off as animals.”
I dont seem to ever be able to finish George Orwell's "animal Farm".
I am such a failure. I'll do it this weekend hopefully and start on 1984.
I found 2 copies of Animal Farm this afternoon in a free book bin outside my favorite bookstore in Chicago. Anyone want one?
Blake, you've left for so long, and even though I hold you in my heart, I want you to come home! Will you? Imagine how much fun we would have.
I’m imagining how much fun we will have when we are 85 year-old widows. I’m never coming home, probably ever. Except maybe, if my parents needed me, but probably not. I would, however, go from the A to the Bay, that place where people get hyphy and go dumb, the soil where other rappers be getting their lingo from. You’re second on the list.

Okay,
Okay, wait,
Oh my god, Blake.
That’s what she said.
In bed.” —Jenny Lewis, et al.

Did you cook that dinner? It looks absolutely delicious. The salad I just made myself is looking at it with dinner envy.
That is, indeed, an original creation from my kitchen. It was going to be a jerk salmon sandwich with caramelized onions and veggies, but I decided to add the egg and it basically became a sandwich with a omelet on top. It was, in fact, pretty tasty; tasty enough to distract Scott and I from our standardized-test studying obligations for the evening. I bet your salad is delicious too, but it is disconcerting that it has eyes and feelings.
Here is a situational question for you. (You will be judged based on the lever of humor/intellect you inject into your answer... just kidding! :) ) I have come to expect a lot from my favorite tea drinking blogger.
You veer off your nautical path and, for some unexplained reason, are stranded on a desert island (cliché I know) with an OCD that attracts you to the number 3. You have brought with you 3 books, 3 movies (you are sadly unable to watch), and 3 single songs. What are they? You also have a sports ball with you ala Castaway, what type did you end up bringing? (golf, football, baseball....) I hope you get rescued, and more importantly have a lovely week!
Books
1. Marcel Proust, A Remembrance of Things Past
No time like the present, right?
2. Farmer’s Almanac
Proust will keep me busy for a looong time, so I’m deferring to practical concerns
3. Clair Llewellyn, How to survive on a desert island
See explanation #2
Movies (this seems like a bizarre choice to drag along if I can’t watch them)
1. Fight Club
Maybe I’ll find my own Tyler Durden…at least I would have a friend to hang out with.
2. Volver
I can’t watch it, but I can look at Penelope Cruz on the cover and imagine her singing in the movie.
3. The Wizard of Oz
There’s no place like home, there’s no place like home.
Single Songs (I will play along, for the sake of adhering the rules of my hypothetical situation, but what strange media will only allow me to bring along a single song from each album?)
1. Concert Etude #3, by Franz Liszt
Most beautiful piece of music ever written
2. Kanske Ar Jag Kar I Dig, by Jens Lekman
Comfort Crooning
3. Islands, by the XX
#1 on my itunes, plus I couldn’t resist the irony
Also, I am bringing a Giant Soccer Ball
Went RV shopping with Yony today....this might actually happen, but I'm pretty sure we are going to end up buying something that smells like a mixture of grandparents, maple syrup, and urine. Hopefully the upholstery is vinyl instead of fabric.
