metamorphosis

so i've changed the template (and description) of my blog. unfortunately, the comments thingie is down right now, so i'll have to wait a bit before i can re-install the html code and get that back up and running. frankly, i was sick of looking at that red header....had to do something a bit more subtle....more downplayed. please do let me know what you think.

listening to the mix that sarah sent me....songs 5 (dar williams - 'after all') and 10 (pete yorn - 'on your side') are, hands down, my two favorites on this compilation. some of dar's lyrics ring eerily true of my own personal experiences...i'll post them here later.

i'm finding myself strangely refreshed. the dishwasher has finished its cycle....the carpets were cleaned about 2 hours ago....i took out the trash. the cars on the street outside are sparse and nearly silent. the sun is beginning its slow descent toward evening. dinner will be something with italian sausages - perhaps later i'll bake some banana bread....do some reading.

lazy summertime on the edge of dusk. beautiful. i wish i were on a porch swing and had someone with whom to enjoy this moment....*sigh*
