diary 7.7.11- winter dreaming...

yes, it's true- summer is upon me. my coping mechanisms include beer and dreaming of the bliss i feel during the dead of the wintertime. this can include the vain attempts to evoke these feelings by listening to music that i favor during the cold months- nick drake is the oldest signpost present here. 'five leaves left' transports me back to winter 1998 in my crappy one-bedroom apartment in kansas city, ks- my fridge didn't work, was replaced by one that didn't fit in the slot in the kitchen, so sat in the middle of the kitchen floor, complete with massive dent in the front and my kitchen sink didn't drain properly for almost the entire term of my lease only to be fixed early one morning when i was ditching french class by a toothless repair man named tommy who told me 'never put anything in a commode that doesn't belong in a commode!' it was a lovely place. an apt sequel to 'summer of hate.' it's been a rough couple of months to say the least...
