the moments that make up a dull day
one of the wonderful things of never wearing a watch is getting completely lost in whatever you're doing, without worrying about where you're supposed to be, or how late you are, or how it's not time for dinner yet, or how you're overall a slave to the constrainsts of hours and minutes.
one of the terrible things of never knowing what time it is, is that you tend to be late to everything, you always have meals either too late or too early, and often your sleeping pattern gets completely fucked up, because you tend to follow how your body feels instead of what time you should go to bed according to what time you need to wake up. i'm not very good with alarm clocks either.
going back to the positive for a sec, my inability to tell time allowed me to have a wonderful, completely improvised Friday afternoon (which turned into Friday night/late-night) with a friend who apparently has as little ties to hours as i do. we walked the city, north south east west, went from after-work hangout to dinner to drinks to more drinks to meeting my dog and more drinks. all while managing to walk through every neighborhood in manhattan.
going back to the negative for a sec, my complete lack of consideration for my body's stability needs led to me to aid a friend in painting her apartment all day yesterday, followed by an extremely late birthday dinner for her boyfriend and an even later (also completely improvised) walking tour of the east village, which did not bring me home until approximately 5 hours after my body had decided it needed sleep urgently.
which brings me to today. i woke up not knowing the time, and proceeded to go ahead with my plans to take santiago to central park with other friends with dogs. except that by the time we all got there, it was after 3, and i was starving, and it was too late for breakfast. so now i'm home and i need to eat but it's too early for dinner and too late for brunch and the point of all this is to say i need to put some batteries in my swatch cause this is getting ridiculous.

Thanks for the kind words on my blog. Come visit anytime! I'm actually feeling you on this time thing. Because putting a cell phone in my pocket does not a solution make. I guess sitting on my nalgas as the hours tick away is sadly symbolic of my life. We need to take some time for ourselves girl...get out that swatch guard...
See you on ONTD....
