As most of you know, I have lost my enthusiasm for almost everything, and have a hard time doing or wanting to do much of anything. Not so with pineapple, mostly. As most of you know I am pretty much of a pineapple purist and find messing with it (grilling, juicing or putting it in drinks) somewhat disappointing.
Yesterday I went to see They Might Be Giants, who I love. I got to see my friend Dominic play in the opening band and I was amazed to see how well he projects his rock and roll attitude way, way out into the bleachers. It was neat to see! But I couldn't help, during the whole show, thinking about how I was pretty claustrophobic and far away. *sigh*
Still, I try and try. Today, it almost seems like summer in San Francisco. Amazing! You could smell grass and leaves on the morning air. So I am going to try and go to the library and then out to golden gate park to see the Impressionists. I hope they will wake me up a little.
Also, I put a bunch of vanilla yogurt over my pineapple this morning. It seems like a very "kid" breakfast to have. But it was so great that it made me wish it was tomorrow already. Plus, I am listening to Phil Ochs, and I'm finding it hard to break away to get my day started.
Who said I'm not enthusiastic about stuff?
You always seem to be enthusiastic about stuff when I'm around you. In fact your enthusiasm for regular stuff is what I enjoy most about you! (sorry if this messes with your 'broken man' rep)
ReplyDeleteAgreed Kat. In fact, often, your enthusiasm reminds me of a pineapple's enthusiasm in that beneath a rather ostensibly hard exterior, there is warmth, sweetness, juice, and a solid solid core. I'm gonna see the Impressionsists next Tuesday!
ReplyDeleteSummer day in SF, yogurt on pineapple, Phil Ochs, Golden Gate Park--all sounds good to me! I'm a huge Phil Ochs fan.
ReplyDeleteYes, Mod. It turns out that Tuesday is a much better day to go to see the Impressionists, Monet, Manet, Degas, and my favorite, Rich Little.
