Renaissance

The title of this little post isn't fitting, that is unless you count that Michelangelo was somewhere in that time period.

You see, I saw someone on the train last week, and instantly decided to write about her and haven't done so until now. She instantly made me think of a Michelangelo, or DaVinci painting, with her rounded forehead, hair falling flat from the crown, and then soft curls starting near the temples, falling to her shoulders. She had reddish hair. I'll add that I was surprised how short she was when she stood to get out at the same stop I did.

This morning tying my tie, I noticed a small pull about halfway down. I'd known it was there, but felt sad and annoyed all over again. This feeling didn't make me take my tie off.

I'm reading The Plague still, and nearing the end. I'll have to find another book. I had intended to read The Stranger by the same author. The book has such wonderful moments when characters express themselves or events occurr and the author explains in a certain way. Last week there were quite a number of passages I wanted to put down here, but alas I can't be bothered to make up for my sloth.

How can I expect myself to write a book, dedicate time to it each day, add pages to it, if I can't even consistently add to this little web log. Still I think it a good start, similar to my start into the monogamous life. I didn't do well at first, but gradually weaned myself from the thrill of omnogamy. Now only my eyes and some part of my mind, a secluded and very small data store periodically archived and deleted, posess all.

Just now I wonder what else I didn't do well but eventually got the hang of... Painting walls, perhaps? I'm still not brilliant, but I think I have improved some, with patience and practice.

Phrase of the day, which I came up with while talking with my co-worker: "you can't have 'atmosphere' without 'fear'". Naturally it doesn't work on paper, but phonically it's amusing. Now having had that thought, how about a meaningless addendum: " you can't have 'atmosphere' without' sphere'".
