the skies are dusky and there's a chill in the air. winter has really set in on the east. it makes me wish i'd made time to pick up some gloves. just have to keep my eyes open now.
we left illinois behind a few days ago. what was it, was it remarkable? i'm not entirely sure. there was too much to process. still.
right now, i'm really enjoying the change of colors. it's like nature discovered fire and we're catching trees as they blush to a thousand deaths, drawn out over weeks.
i was in sam's club last night and they had roses with colors to rival autumn leaves. my mom is a practical connoisseur of roses, so i've seen my share, but these roses were pure gothic. i had to get a dozen.
today it's tandokucon, next week its animeusa in virginia.

finally a moment a breath a pause.
...
driving to chicago again. this time around the colors were most remarkable. nearing the end of our thirteen hour drive, i was drifting in and out of a fitless sleep. i realized xavier was done tired from the long haul and needed either to sleep as much as i did or my company to keep him going. he got neither. poor x. i remember coming to and seeing trees running along the freeway's edge. some bare, some yellow, a few flaring with reddened leaves. prince was blasting in the background, raspberry beret or controversy or some extended remix that x had relentlessly hunted down years ago. there was a starkness to the outlines of the bare trees displaced against their leafed cousins. we would race by the whole copse, their blurred forms disappearing away from us and i would have the sense we were travelling through many places and times. then my exhaustion would overtake me again and my eyes would shut, compelled by forces beyond my control.
