01.07.09: new year's realizations

kyle maclachlan is much more attractive than i'd given him credit for being.*

reading poetry is dandy, but writing it leaves me a bit cold at the moment (and that's fine; we'll reconnect if we're meant to settle down together).

there is nothing wrong with failing to own belts.

if bed bugs want to live in your apartment, they pretty much will.***

i've got a photography ego (even though i'm a newbie and i know it).

i'm fond of my job. quite fond of it, actually.


*poor kyle: david foster wallace's "david lynch loses his head" (in which he became "nerdy and potatofaced") really did a number on a generation of ladies, i think.**

**exception that proves the rule: kick-ass agent cooper tattoo.

***not my way of saying we have or have had them ourselves; i've just been reading about them (fun book, incidentally, though it'll freak you out about the bee crisis).

Proviso: there's nothing wrong with it so long as suspenders are available. I'm a big fan of them. Otherwise? I mean, c'mon -- plumbers' crack. Something to be avoided.

ah, but i am immune! i haven't owned/worn belts in decades, and up the pants have stayed. you've known me for years, and have you yet known this to be untrue? wait, don't answer that.

re: agent cooper tattoo - all well and good, yes, but can it hold a candle to "audrey corne"? http://www.flickr.com/photos/rakka/2500676648/

All I can do is know myself. And also some teenagers in the mall last month during the holiday rush who lacked the necessary equipment. And the verdict is: belts -- hell yes. But if it works for you, it works for you.
