sometimes i just really freakin' miss atlanta
okay, so i think chel will appreciate that title.
yes, sometimes i just miss the great resources in atlanta... e.g. like a place to get swimsuits year round. yes, i settled on the boring blue one. and i swam in it for the first time today, and it was nice, because before i was swimming in a sports bra and shorts and everytime i'd push off from the wall i'd have to grab my shorts cause they'd act like they were going to go down. so this is easier.
but thats not the only reason. out in decatur there is a great international farmers market. and, well.. these days i've been really wanting to add foods from greece to my diet. no, not greek food made in the states, but actual imports. but so far all i've found is olives. but if i lived in atlanta i could go out to the international farmers market and find all sorts of wonderful goodies, i'm sure. i loved that place. isles upon isles of all sorts of stranged yet delectible wonders.
yes, this might sound strange, but the thing i'm looking forward to most is going shopping in a greek food market. where the locals shop. all those strange packages with all that yummy food inside. i know, weird, but i don't care.
anyhow. the rains hopefully have come for good to the pac nw. we had some big winds wednesday night / thursday morning. so big that my neighbors plants got blown down and i got awoken as did the cats. its been raining pretty hard since. apparently florence, which is on the coast, about 60 miles west of eugene, got 1.5 inches in 6 hours yesterday. i like the rain. its good for us, and we need it, esp. since we are 14.5 inches below normal for the year.
and finally. john walsh is doing a show on polyamory. now i like his show "americas most wanted" i think he's doing good work there.. but i think that he needs to stick to that and that only. yesterday he did a show about what illinois is doing about the death penalty. he kept using the word "clemency" instead of the word "commute".. there's a big fucking difference and he very fucking well knows it. any how. he's being a stupid fuck and putting his nose where it doesn't belong. his stupid audience calling polyamours couples sick and immoral. well, i could go on that show and point out to all those people in his audience how their lives are sick and immoral and shut them up. and i could very well do the same fucking thing to john walsh himself.

I can't help but remembering my brown velvet jacket and wearing it to Oxford Books on Thanksgiving, with the leaves crunching under my feet and a huge list of good books (that I know I would find at Oxford without problem) in my pocket. Being able to tuck my hands deep into my jacket pockets and smell the fall. *sigh*
