For whatever we lose, like a you or a me

I am returned from Providence. It was a somewhat foreshortened visit, but since it contained an afternoon with sea mists at Beavertail and beach glass at West Cove, a double feature of Sherlock Holmes and Avatar (2009), a substantial amount of pizza from Fellini's, and conversation until oh god o'clock in the morning, it was a very good one. (greygirlbeast has put up some photographs.) I finished Verne's The Green Ray on the train there and started John H. Taylor's Death and the Afterlife in Ancient Egypt on the way back. The subway broke down at Park Street and I read about shabti figures while trying not to drip on the pages. This was less annoying than it sounds; I am capable of being very distracted by mortuary ritual. Also I appear to be inarticulate, so I'm going to lie down and watch The Daily Show.

How splendid! (The visit, not the aftermath.) Hope it's cheered you.

Nah, I'm just tired. It was a good visit.

Just what all of you needed. Yay.

I was listening to that album just now, too: played "The Man in the Wilderness" several times, and "Spring and Fall: To a Young Child."

The photos of the coast are very desolate and beautiful.

Ohhhhh, I love Beavertail. Used to go there for science stuff. Fell in love with the rocks and the algae and the ocean waves crashing upon the black and white stone. I love how it proves continental drift, the substrate there containing fossils that are only found along the coast of Africa.

Siiiiiiiigh! :D

Great opening line. Replete, no doubt, with visions and revisions.
