tales from an ordinary world

2000-07-15

5 years ago when I was here, I'd chanced upon a weekend market and picked up a few really good secondhand CDs. We managed to track it down again, and turned up just as everybody was finishing their unpacking. Plenty of home-made clothes and jewellery, as well as second-hand books, music and clothing. 70's prog rock over the speakers. People had their Tarot read. Out the back, a family cooked Salvadorean food. I searched every CD vendor for gems, but didn't really find anything much this time around - A Tom Waits album I hadn't gotten around to buying yet, and some old David Byrne single with remixes by the guy from Meat Beat Manifesto. We sat down for a while in the cold sunlight with our tiny dutch pancakes, watching all the people going about their business.
