RESURRECT DEAD ON PLANET JUPiTER

very tired

This morning I saw the sunrise over the east. This morning the east included South Philly, Camden, oil refineries, Philadelphia International Airport, some more heavy industry and the old Navy Yard. (not Old Navy, but old Navy… and strangely, the new Urban Outfitters headquarters.)

This morning I woke up at 6AM, which is a terrible thing to do on a Sunday morning. But when you’ve got nothing much to do for a while, fatigue can be interesting. I’m not going back to sleep. I’m just gonna roll with it for a while.

This morning I drove from Broad and Pattison all the way back into the part of the city with the tall buildings. I considered driving the whole run of Broad, but I was very hungry and wanted another cup of coffee. The Oak Lane diner was way too far away. It’s 9AM and I haven’t gotten that second third etc cup and I still haven’t eaten. There’s 1 egg in the refrigerator. There are 4 or 5 kinds of cheese.

The other day, I made an impulse purchase of Prima Donna cheese.

This morning I dropped my girlfriend off at the airport, which means I’m living alone for a week. In a week I fly out to meet her in California. A week after that I come back to Philadelphia.

It’s warm here, but there are still insects alive outside in California.

I haven’t done any Christmas shopping, but I’ve been thinking about what I’m getting and for who. I’m ready to start making some purchases.

This story doesn’t go anywhere from here. I could say something out of left field, like our perception is so tremendously skewed by our ignorance, biology and limited capacity that all we experience is a fragmentary illusion of some false reality… because I was reading some person’s myspace page and they were writing about that. That was a few minutes before I started writing this. I was tired and that thought seemed like a nice idea. But actually right now I’m just hungry and want to get another cup of coffee. It’s early on a Sunday, maybe I’ll walk around the city for a while.
