It's true you can't live here by chance,
you have to do and be, not simply watch
or even describe. This is the city of action,
the world headquarters of the verb -

look at the sea, frantic with masts and sails,
the land galloping down to it, gorse flowers
flying, wind in its mane of flax; and then,
there it is, crags with their feet in

the water getting breath for the next
round. Swimmers here swim, they don't loll
about, wind surfers likewise skim, plunge,
the very gulls are wilder than most, they

hardly land; or if they do that too is a kind
of flight, the arm of the wind coming up
and ruffling their frills - the wind, yes indeed,
incorrigible voyeur that never goes home.

Dear telephone,
Shut up. Today I hate you.
Exasperatedly,
Joanna

Busywork again today. Of course, at this sort of job, it's always either busywork or no work at all, so I'm not really complaining about that. I am, however, complaining about the telephone. ("But Joanna, you're a receptionist!" Yes, I know. I don't care. Today the telephone sucks.)

Last night went very well. We went out to P.F. Chang's for the Mom Birthday Celebration, where we ordered Way Too Much Food- all of it quite tasty. Back at the house, stuffed to the gills we don't have,

wowbagger and I handed over our gifts, which were duly appreciated. A little TV, a little bit of overdramatic "Happy Birthday" singing, and a little cake later, the low-key shindig came to a close. I got to bed rather earlier than on a normal Tuesday night.

A little sad to miss a new Might Could song at open mic last night, but it has been pointed out that I will have plenty of chances to hear it at a later date.

I'm having a Day. I'm restless. I want to do something fun.
