Space Cadet

“What is it called when you go through life not doing anything” I asked my friend Cate today, as I was trying to explain myself. “Lazy” she answered. “No I mean not, not doing anything but, not thinking, or looking back and going oh yah I should have done that. You know, like not really thinking.” “You mean being a space cadet.” “Yah that’s what I mean, I can be a space cadet at times.
After I said this Jaya came out and was telling me  we should hide the house key, on top of the white pillar In front of the house. Then as Rae and Chinua were leaving I shouted to them, pointing expressively “oh hey guys, Jaya thinks we should hide the key up there. On top of the pillar.”

Watching the milk

I am sitting on the kitchen counter watching the milk to make sure that it doesn’t boil over onto the counter like it does just about every night that I make yogurt. My brain so quickly forgets its simple task at hand even when I stand over the milk to make sure it doesn’t boil over I still find myself wandering into my room plopping myself onto my bed and picking my book up, till I suddenly remember that I was just in the kitchen watching the milk, so I get up to go back into the kitchen and then find myself walking over to my computer to journal about the days events, maybe even talk about how I always forget to watch the milk as I remember oh yah I am supposed to be watching the milk, then I decide to take my computer into the kitchen and type about how I forget to watch the milk so that I keep my mind on watching the milk. The milk just started boiling time to turn it off.
