jared bought me an ipod touch! for a long time i was really anti touch screen but i like it now. i know i wouldn't want it as my phone though. there is a mad libs app! (and frogger <3)
on christmas morning we opened presents and went to my uncle's house for brunch. egg casserole, fruit, homemade yogurt & cinnamon rolls, mmm! then we played this game called "pass the pillow" which was the silliest game i've ever played. amish always come up with this crazy ideas. christmas was nice but something felt off this year. i wasn't as excited for it, it came really quickly, i was in a blah mood. i'm not sure what was wrong.
( favorite christmas presents )

Darn that Dream
So I woke up today in the middle of the universe. My brother was making beef jerky in a smoke tent he'd fashioned out of several felled trees and a parachute. And it was snowing the queerest way - in slow, straight lines, Like all the world got stuck in a half-second loop. My dad made blueberry-pecan pancakes while the cat meowed. There was a red-bellied woodpecker on the suet feeder.
Now it's night-time, quite dreamily, and I'm sitting by the wood-stove listening to Mildred Bailey, beery-eyed, in my underclothes. The temperature in the basement here is ninety-five degrees. Why don't a human being sweat by the fire? I'm figurin' I need some basting.
Damn, damn, damn: I've felt so happy and hopeful! I met a golden dude who I dote on, quixotically, like a teenager and then fuck like I'm some kind of woman. In July, I'm going to ride my bicycle to Vancouver. I got a backpacking tent & a red goose-down sleeping sack from Santy Claus. My paintings are totally vibing my mind up, and I can actually pay my rent on Friday, How good, how good.
I think maybe I'm getting better at feeling satisfaction without fastening to it, even though I'd begun to doubt again that it was even a possible feat. I mean, maybe I can have all this sweet ardor, and have it thru and thru, and not For Keeps. OK.

it's hard to believe that christmas is tomorrow. when i was younger i remember how long it seemed to take for this day to come every year. now it's just..here! i don't even think about it. the "joys" of growing up. my presents are wrapped and ready to be opened. we're planning on presents at 8am, mimosas! then brunch at my uncle's house.

This morning I sang baby opera to my reflection in the mirror, to Meryl's english muffin in the toaster - a little Vaccai exercise, in fifths, that I've remembered ten years long: Avezzo a vivere/ senza conforto/ in mezzo al porto/ porvento il mar, which translates to something like I'm safe and anchored at port, but harbor dread thoughts of the ocean.
I used to take lessons back with sweet-man Ray, who's since departed his miniature school and left behind a Transcendental Meditation Center. Now, when trying to 'verb the hi notes I feel like I'm channeling a stubborn ghost.
My nose has been harboring dread thoughts of its own. Salty liquids enslave my ruddy face, now also having wept straight through the end of that Lorrie Moore book on the subway. I feel romantic and day-dreamy - like I should shave my legs, anyway.

I made Larkin a doll. It was one of the most enjoyable things I've done in a long while!
I'd probably make another right away, but my fingers are raw from all the tiny stitching of hems, etc.
Anyway, it's good to finally make something. Plus, she'll look really cute sitting on the doll bed L's getting on Christmas morning.
