Things stuck in my head today
- “Ho! Ho! Ho Chi Minh! NLF is gonna win!”
- Any number of songs by Blood, Sweat and Tears. All of which I hate.
- Several songs by Three Dog Night, which I put there trying to get the taste of BS&T out of my head.
- A Weakerthans lyric, which I love: “Hold on to the corners of today, and we’ll fold it up to save until it’s needed. Stand still. Let me scrub that brackish line that you got when something rose and then receded.”
- The tick-tick-tick of the sprinkler head, which is trying to wet the grass seed, part of my triennial impulse to try to establish an actual lawn like other people have. Don’t worry, it will pass.
