On my cigar walk this morning i realized two things. The first was that today is the last day of amnesty month at the library, I best be returning that last book today. I forgot the other thing I realized, but I have a feeling it was important.

I did notice that the trolls are out in reality, I saw a graffito of the URL to goatse along the bike trail up past Arlington Center.

I just spent several hours trying to get these pictures to upload. Very frustrated with LiveJournal and Semagic. Will, of course, get over it.

i miss the playroom at the old house_of_clocks
it was such a representation of me
i had all sorts of things written on the wall
the writings were all pieces of me
angry and happy
resilient and giving up
my tinfoil room
odd things screwed and nailed to the ceiling
plastic eggshells, pictures, etc.
gave it a odd feel
it was shiny
my tinfoil room
i'd see shapes in the walls
everything was bright
either reflective or colorful
or often both
the room was where i spent most my time
i miss that room
it was crazy like me

Out on my neitherday walks, I have noticed a dime embedded in the center of Mass Ave. It is stuck in the rubbery stuff they use to seal cracks in the road. I want that dime. I was out there tonight trying to pick the dime out with my fingers. A white SUV pulling out of a side street noticed me. They started to turn away from me. Backed up. Looked again. Started to turn towards me. I got out of the street and headed towards the house_of_clocks, but the SUV turned back away from me and drove away.

I went on with my walk. Sat down by Spy Pond and watched the silent waters. Saw many cats and a family of opossums. Walked up and down the side streets. Walking back to the house I saw 2 police cars drive by. They didn't see me as I was on the dimly lit side street. I went back and sat on the walkway in front of the house. The police kept driving by. Looking for something or someone with their spotlights. They inspected the Walgreens parking lot and kept looking nearby. They kept driving by me slowly, checking me out. But as I was on our walkway they didn't approach me. I decided to tempt fate and started on another walk. Immediately two police cars stopped me. Apparently they had received a call that someone was "graffiti-ing" Mass Ave near Walgreens. They noted that they couldn't find any graffiti. They asked me how long I'd been outside and if I'd seen anyone. I told them about my walk and said I saw no one. they didn't really suspect me of "graffiti-ing" the missing graffiti, so they drove off.

I'm guessing the person in the white SUV who saw me trying to get the dime, thought I was spray painting Mass Ave. It was dark, and they weren't very close. They probably called me in.

That dime is mine. I'm going to take something to pick it out on my next walk. That dime is mine.
