I am at the Laundromat. I like it here, believe it or not. The clean smells of detergent & dryer sheets make me feel nostalgic somehow. This is in sharp contrast to the fact that I absolutely hate doing laundry. The lugging, the folding, the spending money on something so seemingly disposable that you feel as if you are simply flushing the funds down the commode. (what a lovely grammatically incorrect sentence!)
My computer is with me because I intended to do some very important internet research whilst sitting here. Yes, this is super secret code for wasting time on Second Life (www.secondlife.com). I just discovered an object there that allows me to fly so fast & high that I can explore outer space – which breaks up the time I normally spend showing off my fancy ladybits to unsuspecting cyber strangers.
I just took a brief break from writing by staring, mesmerized, at a dryer for a bit. Dunno why, just did. I had an odd thought about the fact that the clothes all look dry when they spin like that. The blanket inside has a pattern that oddly resembles a kaleidoscope. The spinning made it seem even more so. Snooze, I am boring even myself…
Somebody just walked in. I don’t think they see me, as I am hunched over computer. They seem to be washing restaurant linens. This reminds me that I am hungry. I brought a bag of M&M’s in here with me, but I am not hungry for them. Maybe I will get takeout from Korean BBQ. OOOOHHHH, wait a minute – I gots me some grilled cheese sammich fixin’s at home. I will hold out, I reckon.
