Unfocused
It’s a rainy fifth of November, so I’m listening to Depeche Mode: “A Question of Lust”…
Election day, and it is cold. The sky is a low smear of gray cotton. Autumn leaves are color pops in the watery daylight.
I’m fairly vague at the moment. I should be doing some work but feel wavery and unfocused. Actually, what I feel like doing is popping out, buying the Spider-Man dvd, grabbing something to eat, and then settling in watch the movie.
At some point I just may do that.
I voted this afternoon and always feel quietly satisfied after I do that. There was a small group of political folk near the entrance to the firehall, passing out pamphlets and such, urging you to vote for their candidates. They always make me feel awkward. It seems rude to only accept papers from one, yet odd to take everyone’s stuff. Amusingly enough, about twenty paces from where they gather, there is always a large trash can where you can toss the items you’ve just been given, before entering the actual polling place.
Kind of symbolic, if you ask me.
Anyway.
Still drifting through the day, here. The stereo is still playing. The day is still silvery gray (now dimming). A chilly drizzle is dropping down, swirled by random gusts of wind.
I’m thinking a warm bowl of soup might be just the thing for supper. And maybe a cup of coffee, for old time’s sake.
Oh yeah, and Spider-Man…

Ah, a man after my heart. I LOVE
Depeche Mode. My favorite band ever.
Did you know I met them and followed them around while they were on tour back in ’98? Crazy old woman.

Very cool. I’ve always enjoyed Depeche Mode and was buzzing through “Depeche Mode The Singles 86 – 98″ today.
Unfortunately, I have never had the chance to see them live…
