KHftCEA 1997-11.2 November
"Come sit me to sleep," said the voice on the phone. "It's one in the morning." "Please? If you want to." Fifteen minutes later he was knocking on the door of her dormroom. She answered, pulling down the hem of her sleepshirt. "Thank you," she said. He followed her in, shut the door behind them. She climbed into her bed pulling the many layers of covers over her. He sat on the floor next to the bed, facing the opposite wall. She was very picky about with whom she would share her bed, for her, sharing her bed was as intimate as sharing her body, and that was no longer what the two of them were about. He started speaking, simple words, soothing words, the story of his day, the story of his week. As he was speaking she reached a hand from under the covers, rested it on his shoulder. He took her hand in his, never stopping the gentle murmur of speech, sitting on the cold tile of the floor, knees pulled up to his chest. He shut his eyes as he spoke, letting the words become all. After a long while he heard her breathing slow, felt her muscles jump as her body settled into sleep. He returned her hand to under the covers, walked to the door, let himself out. When he got out of the dorm the night air was cold and still. 97-11-8 --- When I'm good, I'm very, very good, but when I'm bad, I'm better. It's not the men in your life who count. It's the life in your men. I feel like a million tonight, but one at a time. --Mae West --- "I want to do to you what the spring does to cherry trees." "I want to do to *you* what you do to chinese food." --tufts.general --- I'll heal your wounds, I'll set you free I'm Jesus Christ on ecstasy --Nine Inch Nails --- And in the dawn, there came a song, Of some sweet lady, singing in his ear, Your God has gone, and from now on, You'll have to learn to hate the things you fear. --cwagner@io.com (?) --- I know: You say love when you mean control. --Sam Phillips --- ...and when she looks up and asks you "what?" you say "nothing," when you really mean, "I love you." --abryant@cs.tufts.edu (?) --- Only Men can piss at heaven. --- Ezekiel 23:19,20 --- A witty saying proves nothing. --Voltaire --- Rebekah cut her hair very short. To my surprise I'm not crazy about it. I've always recognized people by their hair-so maybe this could be the key to seeing her as a different person, one I'm not in love with. 97-11-9 --- What passes for woman's intuition is often nothing more than man's transparency. --George Jean Nathan --- "I want to be reincarnated as seaweed" --Mo Roihl --- Damn weather. If it weren't for the family and friends and the habits and the contacts and the culture I'd be out of Boston in a minute. 97-11-15 --- I hate the need for companies to spread their brand as far as possible. From always onscreen tv logos to the u.s.robotics on my pilot to the creation of windows' program groups with the epitome in those frigging hallmark "check the back" campaign. Bugs me. Maybe I'm too easily bugged. 97-11-15 --- My pilot my brain. 97-11-15 --- "Cactus should *definately* taste like cocunut" 97-11-15 --- "If people think nature is their friend, then they sure don't need an enemy" --Kurt Vonnegut --- "I tell you, we are here on Earth to fart around, and don't let anybody tell you any different." --Kurt Vonnegut --- Few minutes before The Meeting. Everyone's nervous as hell. "It's the end of the world as we know it." 97-11-18 --- "Wheeeeeeeeeeee. RIS rah rah!" 97-11-18 --- I love how execs doing a presentation ask a question then answer it. It's like when a baseball throws up a ball and hits it to give the fielders practice. 97-11-19 --- Dylan's not as cool as me or else he'd be writing his grocery list on his pilot. 97-11-19 --- "I'm throwing away 3 eggs." "Don't throw them away, cook me an omelette." "Eggs are gross after 6 months." --Murray and Israel 97-11-19 |
