tales from an ordinary world

2002-03-17b

Stereo twinkle of PlayStation platform game behind me. I'm ironing 5 shirts, in a sudden bout of preparation. I may not know what the week ahead will hold, but at least I won't have to iron a shirt every morning, unless I change my mind.

A little glass of Canadian Club on the rocks, Elvis Costello's wail and, later, Cat Power again. I could put something challenging on, but instead I find myself listening to that Beatles cover album for a second time, or at least, the first half of it.
