I found a first edition version of Jane Eyre up for auction online with a $1500 reserve. It would absolutely break my heart, in the very best of ways, to curl up in front of a fire with a first edition copy of Jane Eyre. I think I'm putting that on my 'things to do before I die' list.
I had a strange day today. One of those days where you aren't sad, and you aren't happy, you're just there. Kind of waiting to not be wherever you are anymore so something else can happen. Like limbo. It was a limbo day. My brain wouldn't focus, so I sat around with my brother for a while. He was watching Eraserhead.
Muted.
My dad disconnected the speakers on our television to play music on the patio, so the TV had no sound. When I asked my brother why he hadn't just plugged them back in, he said the movie was "better this way". He might have been right. I mean, I've never seen Eraserhead with sound, but I'm not entirely sure I want to know what it sounds like. Seeing it is plenty.
And some you just can't tell
And some they will and some they won't
With some it's just as well.

P.S. In case you're wondering why I've been the proud owner of this fine blog since 2005, yet haven't posted a single thing until today: I deleted all those old posts. I'm all different now, and stuff. It's cathartic. Whatever.
P.P.S. You know those candy sticks that are basically nothing but super-condensed icing sugar? I love those.
