Warmth 55

Oatmeal.

Coffee.

Trust.

A child's affection.

A parent's support.

The way a pane of sunlight

wanders across my living-room floor

in the late afternoon of a spring day.

Cats.

Kindness.

Strangers who take a moment to smile.

The smell of a freshly cut lawn.

Fireflies.

Curling up

beneath

the covers

alone

or

with love.

Catching Yourself 55

I am sooooo depressed.

Wait a minute. Just wait, and think --

Is there pizza in the refrigerator? 

Leftover pizza, from last night?

It was just last night. Have you really already forgotten 

how kickass that pizza was?

Maybe you should go nuke yourself some pizza, put on a CD, and chill.

That's all I'm saying.

One of the Great Underrated Riffs of the 1990s

It's really too bad Havana 3 a.m. only made one CD with this lineup. The video here is nothing special, but I love this song.

Her Blues 55

Ana knew she was in trouble when she found that she couldn't work up the energy to finish the dishes. They were Matty's chore this week, the dishes, but he was too young to wash the knives and knew to leave them for his mother to clean.

Who can't motivate herself to wash two knives?
