Sunday
Its around 11:30. My wife comes home from raleigh tomorrow. She's been gone all weekend. I go through the same cycle everytime she goes out of town. At first i get excited, and think of all the stuff im going to do, all the stuff i cant do normally.
Of course since this consists of listening to Indigo Girls CDs and watching buffy the vampire slayer, I have to lower the blinds so the punk rock kids next door can't see.
OH! i just remembered something! I saw an incredible movie this weekend. Its called "Woman of the Dune." its Japanese, about a guy collecting bugs in some remote fishing village. He misses the last bus back to civilization and has to spend the night with one of the locals. So the villagers take him to the home of a widow, she lives in the bottom of a sand dune. He has to climb down a rope ladder to get to her house, the walls of the dune are so steep. In the morning he wakes up and finds the rope ladder is gone. He's trapped. Really good movie.
so after a few days of folk rock and foreign films i get alittle sad, and miss my sweet beautiful wife. Suddenly im Jimmy Stewart in "Its a Wonderful Life" I realize what a miserable sack i am without her.
I want to live! I WANT TO LIVE!
then, out of nowhere i get this idea, Im going to clean this whole damn house, from top to bottom! Im going to make this place shine. A bright shining testament of my love to Ana.
So i grab a handful of trashbags and the broom and dust pan and i head to the living room.
"whats on tv? oh, bowling!"
three hours later im watching the videogame channel and sweeping during comercials.
so its 11:30 and i've got gotta get back to proving my love.
this happens every time.
