At 3:30 this morning, the answering machine beeped loudly, said "Please wait," then beeped again a few seconds later. Somewhere around nine, it did the same thing again. So I'm waiting.

This is a good day for waiting rather than doing. Cool, grey, windy, rainy. All I really want to do is sit and look at the tree outside my window, admire the texture of wet bark in diffuse light, the delicate play of shades of green in the leaves, and listen to music. (A housemate was listening to Spanish jazz earlier; after that, another was playing his drums in an African rhythm. It's a day for music.) I have to go out soon to stretch my legs and buy some groceries, but not right now. I'm waiting.

One thing I will do is unplug that blasted answering machine.

your machine is teasing you! the bloody nerve of it. ;)

the light was interesting today, wasn't it? everything so dark and green. and chilly! hope you didn't get cold, if you walked to the store.

Today's supposed to be cool as well, isn't it? Less rain, I suppose. I took my umbrella to the store yesterday, but it turned out that my walk was during one of those intervals when all we got was a bit of drizzle. The rain felt good, actually.

I wish my answering machine was that elucidating... but alas it is not... just lots of fizz and pops

My machine usually just spews messages that telemarketers' machines have given it. Our world is turning into one where the machines have long conversations with each other, and frankly I don't mind as long as they leave me out of it.
