"Never do, what they do." - The Roots featuring Raphael Saadiq
bringing back sweet memories:
She shudders when I touch the back of her knee
She stops breathing when I kiss her belly button
She squirms from the warmth of my fingers
She grabs and begs pulling me closer
She shakes and moans when I give her what she wants
I shudder now when I think about how we once made love
other weekend notes: I'm not happy with the design of this site. At all. But I've been spending a lot of time at some other places (see melly, see jael, see jason, see laura) and I'm ready to steal from all of them. Hopefully I'll have something new in place by the end of the week.
star wars: attack of the clones - Probably third best of the Star Wars films (behind Empire and A New Hope). The story is a little weak, the dialogue a little pat...but this baby moves.
unfaithful - sometimes being uncomfortable breeds creativity (see above). I'm not sure if it was good or bad. Mostly it was irksome. And irksome is an awesome word.
the others - I figured out the twist from the trailers last summer so it wasn't a surprise at the end. Nice filmmaking otherwise though.
from hell - beautiful period film. Story a wee bit confusing.
los angeles lakers - basketball at its finest. quit whining about fouls sac-town.
my sister can dance.
bringing back (not so) sweet memories:
Morning Bruises
"Where'd you get this?"
She looks down and sees him pointing at the purple and black mark on her hip. She hadn't noticed it before. It didn't hurt. She pulls her eyes back to the bathroom mirror and continues brushing her hair.
"Oh, I don't know. Sometimes I wake up with weird bruises."
He pokes at it with the end of his toothbrush. She doesn't react. Interesting.
"I've never noticed you bruising before. Even when we, you know, I don't put a hurtin' on ya...do I?"
She smiles wryly. "Well, there was that one time."
"What ti-- ohhhh, that time."
They look at each other and speak in unison. "Fucking North Carolina."
He brushes his teeth. She turns to the closet looking for the right pair of jeans and the right shirt for the day. He notices the back of leg in the mirror, 4 small bruises are on the back of her left knee.
"Kiddo? What's happening to you?" He turns and looks at her. Confusion all over his face.
She turns her head back towards him and then looks down at the back of her knee. He thinks he catches a moment of recognition on her face.
"There's nothing wrong. I must have hurt myself playing tennis yesterday."
"You played Tennis yesterday?" He kneels down and examines the bruising on her knee while he rubs the one on her upper thigh.
"Yeah, with Tim and Paul and the gang."
"Who else was there?" He rubs the back of her leg with his right hand. It occurs to him that the bruising looks a bit like the grips of fingers.
"Tim and I played against Inconsiderate Smarm and his girlfriend. We beat his smarmy ass. You know, the other somewhat decent lawyers to be."
"Was David there?" He asks not looking up at her as he tries to fit his fingers in the position of the bruises.
"Oh here we go." She pulls away, walking into the bedroom to put on her jeans.
"Here we go, what? I just want to know if your new friend was there."
"What if he is my new friend? Is that so wrong that I have a friend?"
"I didn't say anything was wrong. I just wanted to know if he was there."
"You know," She's angry now. She doesn't even know why she's angry but her face is red. Her forehead is hot, "It bugs me that you don't like him. You don't even know him. He's just stupid David Newman. You don't have anything to worry about."
"I'm not worried about anything and who said I didn't like him. He seems like a nice enough guy." He squeezes paste onto his toothbrush again, not wanting to continue the conversation.
"Well, I need to go. I'm late. I'll see you tonight." She leaves the bedroom/bathroom and heads out of the house. "Oh, and you don't need to make dinner tonight, I think I'm going to be a little late. Bye sweetie."
The door slams.
No kiss goodbye. No 'I love you'. And she still didn't tell him whether or not David was at the tennis match.
Yeah, he has nothing to worry about. Nothing at all.
