Oct. 24th, 2004 08:19 pmWelllll, that last post fell pretty flat, didn't it. Too bad for you, it was a hilarious song. :P
Yesterday the sun was shining, and the temperature was lovely, and it had rained a whole heck of a lot the day before. A perfect day for going outside and playing in the big sand and dirt deposits left in the artificial creek by the rain. :D You find all sorts of neat things.
I picked up a metal hoop about a foot and a half in diameter, some hyooj rusty nails, a pair of red sunglasses... and an impressive collection of snail shells.
For your viewing
and counting pleasure.
Yes, the sandy stuff was gross to go digging around in, with all the glass and soda/beer cans and whatnot. And yes, I ended up using my hands to do it. But when I brought them out from where I found them-- under a bridge where people go to do graffiti and probably some Other Things-- into the sunlight, set them on the rock above the water level, and sat there rinsing them out in the little stream, one by one... ah, it was good. It was just good. It was distinctly "the kind of thing I would do," for lack of a better way to put it, and I couldn't really remember the last time I'd done anything like that.
So I'm happy.
