the way it is

a girl i don't know commissioned me to make a mix cd for her, with a curveball. the keyword was "thunder." i guess i could have gone in a lot of directions with it, but i opted for the electricity in the air just before the rain falls, the lightning buzzes, and then the thunder rumbles. it's sort of... the human barometer. you know when there's a good midwestern summer storm coming, and it makes you damn excited.

so i found all the songs that i grew up listening to in my imagination summers. and put them onto a disk. it's quite an eclectic mix, too.

that's really my whole story. i would say more, but i'm not sure what to write. i'm having a writer's block issue the size of neptune right now.

i finished still life with woodpecker tonight, finally. great ending. i'd re-write it, but that would spoil all the fun. the last sentence is the most important. look it up.
