an aside
i had a dream a few nights ago that was very vivid. i was sitting on my bed (my real bed, lofted four feet or so above the ground) knitting something, and my friend that runs the bookstore showed up next to me, curious about what i was doing. i told him: knitting, and he sat next to me, put his arm around my shoulders, and leaned in to watch.
i suppose the movement can be mesmerising, as a friend mentioned ages ago. if you're stoned, i suppose so.
it's early, and already i've gotten my roommate into one of our "i love you, man," sessions. one of my needs seems to be someone worrying about me in her offtime. she's tough on me enough of the time that i don't feel guilty about it. now i have an underling and i get to start worrying about whether she'd be better at my job than me. when i'm put in this situation the answer is always a resounding yes. will i rise?
