So again it happened, that a great book is finished reading and it's magic is, althought still lingering in my self, starting to fade away... It always happens with good books, you can't stop reading them, and craving to get to the end, but again, you can't stop feeling down once you've done reading them... you wish they could go on forever... like that moment of a sweet kiss, or the smell of a hot cup of chocolate.
But as everything they end... and eventhough they wait there on the shelf to be read again, and they will, it's a fact that life goes on and their magic, as great as it was, is not really a part of our "real world".
I just finished reading "American Gods", a book by Neil Gaiman. And by the feel of my words you can tell that I liked it, and I disliked the fact of being thrown away out of that magical world once I stopped reading what weutes before I need to get to work ? 6:30 am wakeup makes me be in bed by 10
The stereo in my car ? a crackly FM modulator for the ipod works, but it?s not the same
The stereo in my house - though this altec lansing speaker set for my ipod actually sounds ok in this little apt, they?re no substitute for big floor speakers and a 15? powered sub.
A fat steak and a bunch of beer on Thursday night at Outback ? don?t miss going to work on Friday after that though
Crawfish ? I can?t remember when crawfish season ends, I hope it?s still around when I get back
Southern words like ?y?unt-to?? and ?aight? - yeehaw
Having a 5 minute drive to work ? this goes hand in hand with the whole not having to wake up early thing
A king size bed - they call what I have here a king size, but it?s only a double by American standards
That amazing machine that washes your dishes for you ? apparently they haven?t moved into the 20th century over here yet
Not having to bend over to get something out of the fridge ? the whole unit over here comes up about to my neeples. Which I guess is somewhat good since I have so little storage space, I can keep stuff on top of it
Air conditioning ? screw an office that?s 85 degrees
My car ? I could put this one in every other line, it?s torture driving a diesel ford focus station wagon
TV ? though I don?t have TV at home, at least I can go next door and watch it. I?m wishing I had taken up the offer over here to get a TV, even if I would only have 4 channel
