tales from an ordinary world

2001-09-01

I had a bagel for breakfast, and sat in the window so I had a good view of the world. Woman parks VW polo, and opens umbrella over the car before she gets out. The merest thought of getting a drop of rain on oneself must be too horrible to contemplate. Tall redhead boy walks in and out of the cafe, holding under one arm a magazine entitled "Astral Travel", still in its loose plastic wrapping.

An old Go-Betweens poster. An old Triffids poster. That New Order CD, and a couple of second-hand Australian ones. A second-hand copy of the last Yo La Tengo CD, to replace my scratched one. The Waco Brothers + Sally Timms are coming. There's a new Solex album due out soon. The guy in Second Spin gave me a free Spiderbait CD, and the little cardboard box they all came in. So much to listen to, so little time.
