this is a line from my (current) favourite song on Clap Your Hands Say Yeah's (current) new album. tomorrow i see them live.
i'm loving the album because it seems more pacey, racy, and invigorating than some of their earlier stuff. yet this song is one of the mellow moments. perhaps it stands out for being sandwiched between pulsating, energetic stuff. it's the pause within a busy day. its poetry is less speedy and therefore there's time to sit with it. three and a half minutes to catch your breath. then it's back to noise.
it's tuesday so i shouldn't have a slight hangover. but i do. work is difficult today. watching bored to death is not. but i must push on. i must shower actually. and then maybe i'll go buy that almond croissant i've been thinking about. maybe i'll pick up some groceries. and then maybe i'll do some work.
last night S asked me what it means to be a taurian. in 29 years he's never bothered to find out. i tell him some traits and he admits to having them all. later in the night i say "that's right! we're lazy". he concurs. we're lazy.
happy birthday M.
