Last night I got home around 5:30 (the stars all aligned and I was able to hop from one bus to another without waiting! Yay! Home in 25 minutes!). I felt pretty awful - tired, hard to think, achy - so I decided to have a bit of a lie down until E got home. I vaguely remember him trying to wake me up to eat something. It was like that scene in Twin Peaks where the midget is speaking in tongues and everything is warped. And I woke up a few other times, mostly due to cats sleeping on

Someday The Girl from Ipanema will stop being the soundtrack to all that I do. I hope that day is soon, but I have a feeling it won't happen until after I get back from Brazil. For now, I hear it in Muzak form as I'm walking to the bus. I hear the words while sitting at my desk. I even hear it with the words changed "He's the Smudge from Ipanema." *sigh*
