sister #3 and i were walking to the car from tj maxx and more.
“i was going to tell you. it looks like you’ve lost a lot of weight.”
“i think it’s just because my pants are too big.”
“no, i was watching you in tj maxx. you look all alternative.”
“what?”
“you know, the docs, the geekglasses, the orangeshirt and grey hoody.”
“really?”
“yeah.”
“rad! as i quickly approach 30, i finally get cool.”
“that. that right there, just cancelled it all out.”
that pretty much has made my day.

was it the use of the word rad?
that, that story right there, totally makes me wish i wasn’t an only child.
i mean, i have a half-brother and half-sister, but we never lived togethor, and i don’t know them all that well.
but that’s not why i’m commenting: jodi, if you haven’t read it already, you’d do well to pick up jeanette winterson’s latest, “the powerbook.” you’d love it.
it’s all about love, as told through time, classical literature, email, and cyberspace.
if you’ll pardon the obvious, it’s totally rad.
yes, i’ve read it. but it might do me well to read it again. don’t you know that jeanette winterson is one of my all time favorites?
Okay, okay, okay. Moulin Rogue? Check. Jeanette Winterson? Check.
You’re kind of freaking me out here. I’m starting to wonder if maybe you’re the Minnesota me. Or possibly I’m the Michigan you.
Scary.
Wait, okay. Here’s the ultimate test: I want you to close your eyes and imagine you’re watching two midgets having sex. Now, when you have that, imagine that they’re doing it with Beethoven’s Fifth Symphony as the soundtrack.
Now, if you think this, two tiny people who are really adults, getting busy to the the thundering boom of Beethoven is quite possibly the funniest image in the entire world, I’m calling my Doctor and maybe the authorities. Because you’re obviously stealing thoughts out of my head.
Or maybe I’m stealing thoughts out of yours? Oh God!
Where did I lay the X-File? I’ll have to report this…
bestest to you always,
Agent Tupper
why don’t you move to minnesota and be my friend?
Ah, I’m planning my next big life move to be back to the west coast (I lived in Cali for a while; now I’ve got my eyes on Portland or Seattle), or maybe back east (because I’ll always miss NYC).
But Minnesota… y’all got great music… but it’s just not for me.
Thanks for the thought though. It’s sweet of you.
Will 🙂
