the other night i couldn't sleep so i wrote my mother a long and detailed letter concerning what i've been feeling these past years. i also told her that eddie had proposed to me. met with her for lunch today and we talked for a little over an hour. it was nice but i still left alot unsaid. perhaps for another time. either way, getting a little of what i've been experiencing out felt good.
went to drop off my application at half price books today. they advised that i come back when the manager was in. that's always a good sign. i bought the soundtrack on vinyl of the french movie "un homme et une femme" (a man and a woman), a manga book and several other books whose years of publication range from 1955 to 1969. the newest of which was actually written in 1947. i'm intending to read them all first and then choose which ones i shall collage to pages of. i've never redone a book but we'll see how it works out. the titles are all great and the cover art unique to the times.

Do both of your parents know about your engagement? I love Half-Price Books. It seems you aren't that close with your mom, or if you are you don't talk a lot. That's how I am with my dad.
I remember listening to Un Homme et Une Femme's record with my mother at her mom's house in France. My mom would drink cafe au laits, and I would pretend to drink coffee as well. It was actually just chocolate milk in an oversized coffee cup that had sheep painted all over it. It was my favourite cup, and that was my favourite record to listen to.
Thanks for reminding me of that fond memory.
