Can I say again how much i love my mom's new house. it's just an amazing space. this morning we're all in higher spirits. my mother's still a nag, but kim's just spinning into a ribbalding joke each time. it's these times that i love this family...
they've latched on to a radio station out here, and sunday mornings it's got a program 'acoustic sunrise' that we all agree is great. it's kind of like a real home, you know. the past is the past and nobody's trying to dredging it up or trying to bury it. like the comment kim mad about me when my mom mentioned to him i'd argued with katherine. "well, lindsay has a way of saying things that make people crazy." it's true, but at the same time, it's because when i'm pushed to lash out at someone, as my mother pointed out, i use what's true about them and i don't buffer it. it actually felt good to hear that comment. not that it's a great trait - but it was nice to be known so well. also, as far as bad habits go, i'd rather be known for delivering difficult truths than for throwing out ridiculous claims.[matthew sweet and someone else have a new album of covers out called 'under the covers', says the radio. i'm thinking this'll be my next purchase unless kim gets it first.] either way, i'm really the only person who gets hurt when i lose my temper. it's a very rare thing to find someone receptive to the idea of working on the deeper shortcomings in their life. plus, it's just not my job to change people and it doesn't matter that i'm just trying to help them have a happier more fulfilling life. i'm rambling.
anyway. it's a pleasant morning, here with the cool ocean breeze blowing in. this morning i'm going to prep some less expensive sound system options for my mom. oooh...a nice version of mr jones is on right now with some bluesy freestyling interludes. we like this song, this family, because it expresses our fantasy of being cats instead of humans. really, who wouldn't rather be a cat. i want to be a cat the way the mother in east of eden wanted to be alice falling into the rabbit hole.
anyway. back to 'work'
