Well. Shit.

Moving was painful. Got my heavy-assed dreser, upstairs. Seth helped, with that. The downstairs is done, except for food things, and the TV. Tomorrow is the bedrooms.

That's not really what the title's about though. I found out, today that an acquaintence-verging-on-friend of mine, died this past Sunday, in one of the most bizare ways imaginable. She was swimming, in Florida, in a lake, before dawn, and she drowned, after an alligator bit off her arm, at the elbow... I... don't really know what to say, about that. I didn't know her, that well, but i still knew her. Knew her well enough to talk to her on a daily basis. And she had her annoying points, but she was still an interesting and basically nice person. As far as i know, she didn't kick puppies, or burn small children, in her spare time. So it's strange.

Today has been very surreal, that way. Two songs played, pointing me at House of Leaves. One was "Darkness," by Peter Gabriel, in Elizabeth's car, and the other was "Hey Pretty," by POE, in the fucking Kroger, after they played what sounded like (and i've just found out WAS) a Sixpence None the Richer cover of "Don't Dream, It's Over," and then "Motownphilly," by Boyz II Men. In the damned grocery store... Weird.

Anyway.. That's all i have to say. Off to think about today, and tomorrow.

Mrf. You. Me. That dream. The House. Here? You try telling Things to help if it's so damned urgent they have to bother you while you're shopping for groceries.

And sorry about your friend...That is a Very bizarre way to go.

Yeah... Things are getting weirdly Distinct. Not fast-moving or slow. Just cold-burning and knife-edged. And i'm pretty damned sure i like it that way...

Yeah... I really don't know what to think, there...

sorry to hear about the acquaintance-verging-on-friend.

actually saw a headline about that on cnn.com. (and having now searched google news, i find her name sounds oddly familiar, but that could just be my brain playing tricks)

You may have met her at one of the parties. She was tall, skinny, had curly brown hair. Wore a red fuzzy jacket, most of the time...

Yeah

I read earlier about an alligator named Chucky that disappeared when a zoo in Alabama had flooding from Ivan...just the first thing that came to mind when I read this.
