goodbye to Rita
Sunday, November 15 1998
Kim and I returned one last time to the cabana in Normal Heights, this time to pick up Kim's mountain bike (still in an unrideable state) and to finish up all business with Rita. After we'd said our goodbyes and walked away, I noticed tears streaming across Kim's cheeks. We proceeded on to Trader Joe's in Hillcrest and somehow blew $115 on groceries. Tensions always run high whenever Kim and I go shopping together and yet again we resolved to never shop together ever again.
Fog was blowing in off the ocean all day, imparting an ethereal quality to the majestic palms that rear over the buildings visible from our new front window. The house has become a cozy refuge from the cares of the world.
Kim cooked an excellent dinner of Indian rice and chicken (using her new rice cooking gadget). We also shared an excellent $3 bottle of St. Andre's Cabernet Sauvignon.
I really like the haunting little cat noises in the song "Dirge" by Deconstruction. I never noticed them until yesterday, but now they stand out clearly. They're creepy in exactly the same way that my cat paintings are creepy. Stay away, mangy rabid beast, stop rubbing on my leg!
