My Tuesday

~ Wile Knew: Acme Products is located in Algonquin.
~ My Former Life: Acknowledged this morning while driving to the bimonthly consortial cataloging meeting that, in a former life, I must've been a race-car driver. 'Cause after I shift into 5th, I often reach for the lever and desire another gear.
~ Song I Cannot Hear Without Singing: Sincerely, Me by Better Than Ezra. Lyrics below.
~ Lunch: Egg-o-Bagel from The Bagel Place. For those unfamiliar, The Bagel Place was the first New York-style bagel bakery in the big city. And an Egg-o-Bagel is a bagel sandwich with scrambled egg, either bacon, sausage, ham or Canadian bacon, and cheese. (Mine was egg and Canadian bacon, no cheese.) Fab.
~ On the way back, I stopped at Magpies and picked up some bead stuff. Intended to stop for 7 silver bells and a new connection idea for clasps to leather. Left with $41-something in beads and stuff (including what I intended to buy). Impulse....
~ Current allocation of stuff by location:
Basement apartment: 20%
New apartment: 65%
Condo: 10% (includes, unfortunately, all clothes and most of my food)
Former house: 5%
If I can get enough of it there tonight to be comfortable staying, I will locate at the apartment tonight. Otherwise, it'll be tomorrow night. This is a pain in the ass, but the hassle will be over soon.

Sincerely, Me

I can still recallThe way you looked that fallIn your favorite dressThe day before you leftAnd since that timeI wrote a simple rhyme
And I miss you and the things you doThe time we had, the good and badThe day we met that I can't forgetSigned Sincerely, Me
Are you cross at your loss?But could you be more obsessiveIf I'd given you the chanceBut since you asked, a reply but it's the last
And I miss you and the things you doThe love you fake, the heart you break.The buzz you caught, and the times we foughtSigned Sincerely, Me.
Oh, my God, and don't forget P.S.I moved away to a new addressIt's far away and I think it's bestSigned Sincerely, Me.

Why can't it be like it was?The rain falls, the summer ends.Why can't it be like it was?You always said you'd never go away.
And I confess, I was such a messI drove for fifteen hoursOn this nasty Greyhound busYes, I've returned.(You'd think that I would have learned.)
But I miss you and the things you doThe times we had, the good and badThe day we met that I can't forgetSigned Sincerely, Me
Could you really be a bitch like that?Broke my door when you stole the cat.Someone said that you even laughedSigned Sincerely, Me
Why can't it be like it was?The rain falls, the summer ends.Why can't it be like it was?You always said you'd never go away.
And I miss you...
The hope you give.The life you live.The cross you bear.The way you swear.The face you makeWhen you masturbate.Our bed in the moonlight.And the night we foughtYou were so distraught.And the lies I deniedEven when you cried,God knows I apologize,Signed Sincerely, Me.
Why can't it be like it was?The rain goes, the sun returns.Why can't it be like it was?You always said you'd never go away.You'd never go away.You'd never go away.
Signed Sincerely, Me.
