twlight in the garden of good and evil

The way she powders her nose
Her vanity shows and it shows
She's the worst thing in this world
Well, look at that stupid girl
-Rolling Stones

Round Two

I was pounding away yesterday on the laptop, some 1,500 words written ,when Deidre texted me to see if i wanted to go out.

This is good. Fresh air. Sunshine. Life.

But on the way there, I realized i had dozens of texts from La Wackadoo still in my phone. For reasons beyond my simple consumer powers of comprehension, the good people at Alcatel (which used to be Lucent) decided it is unnecessary for me to be able to delete all of my messages at once. So i had to go through one by one. But the fuckers made me look at each one before i erased it. The process went something like this;

Hola Guapo! See you soon!

Bitch!

Delete

tic tac, tic tac, the clock goes – you'll be old soon, I mean mature :)

Ha! ... Whore!

Delete

I am late- soon you soon baby!

Puta!

Delete

Wash, rinse, repeat. Wash, rinse, repeat.

One morning I woke up and I knew
You were really gone
A new day, a new way, I knew
I should see it along
Go your way, I'll go mine and
Carry on

-Crosby, Stills, Nash and Young


But I did see Turkey rally from a 2-0 deficit with 15 minutes remaining to score 3 goals and oust the Czechs. The Turks at the bar went apeshit.

And on Saturday, while i was at Plaza Colon, Spain scored in the 92nd minute to defeat Sweden 2-1 and win the group. They now play a meaningless game with Greece on Miercoles, while they await Italy, France or Romania next Sunday. Que Bien!

And Saturday is the summer solstice. It'll be light until freaking 23:00 here. Let's coordinate something pagan on both sides of the Atlantic!!!!

If only you would use your powers for good instead of Evil
