ticket's here. have to get going with packing. am singing norah jones in my head- 'painter song', very sweet. feeling faintly hysterical for reasons of my own. pete's fright was a fabrication; i don't believe it but i'm glad for him; he's doesn't handle sudden shocks very well. what a mean, bitchy thing to do to him; somehow i'm not surprised- some people really don't give a hoot about other people's feelings, damn them all to somewhere smelly and nasty :P. wore a forest green kameez today, spent some time in urban dynamics of the punjab trying to put a label to the colour....post-monsoon grass? too light. mint? possibly, the colour of the leaf itself but description-wise mint green is much lighter. i settled on pine needles, rainwashed pine-needle green. pretty. jane's world had been doing a eudora welty tribute- enjoyed that immensely. i once blogged a part of a poem from the strip, and the poetess wrote to me with the whole thing! quite wonderful that was. jane's world is a great strip- funny, artsy and entirely human. another strip i enjoy hugely is get fuzzy- it's there on the left. brilliant, brilliant art and comedic work there.i-tin-er-ra-ry, such a cumbersome word. i got mary janes from servis today, they're technically school shoes ("oooh, woh wale dikhaenge?") but i'm in love with them. plus the salesman was an absolute sweetheart; i've never had so much fun buying shoes before. he asked if i wanted them for school or not; i said to wear to college, and grinned at him. lots of people think sana and i are much younger than we actually are. yay for the full moon, although it's never 100%. you can wish on a full moon. the sky looked like God today, in the morning, and something i could call holy happened. that story for another time, when i'm not tired and thinking of sweaters, trains from heathrow and the economics quiz on friday. the blog clock is an hour behind lahore time because it does karachi time and i claim 'songbird' for myself, it's mineminemine. :)
