"Many people treat their five senses with a certain respect and consideration. They take their eyes..."

“Many people treat their five senses with a certain respect and consideration. They take their eyes to a museum, their nose to a flower show, their hands to a fabric store for the velvet and silk; they surprise their ears with a concert, and excite their mouth with a restaurant meal. But most people make their senses work hard for them day after day: Read me this newspaper! Pay attention, nose, in case the food is burning! Ears! - get together now and listen for a knock at the door! The senses get tired. Sometimes, long before the end, they say: I’m quitting - I’m getting out of this now. And then the person is less prepared to meet the world, and stays at home more, without some of what he needs if he is to go on. If it all quits on him, he is really alone: in the dark, in silence, numb hands, nothing in his mouth, nothing in his nostrils. He asks himself, Did I treat them wrong? Didn’t I show them a good time?”

- Lydia Davis, from “Senses,” in the short fiction collection, Varieties of Disturbance. (via marklow)

beyourpet:

and here is a comparison of my lj and his. he fucking butchered my design and graphic. ;_; talentless jerk.
he is stealing everything from me and my internet friends (and maybe others); photos, drawings and graphics, writing and usernames. he’s even copying design, which isn’t wrong really, but totally obvious and annoying.
to viandier himself: i am watching you like a hawk. one false move and i will sue your ass. you might as well get a personality today buddy because if you don’t stop stealing mine and my friends things, you’re going to pay for it.

hey!

viandier is a pretty cool guy, eh jacks brits identity and doesn’t afraid of anything.

4. When we finally made it back to the car it had all but stopped raining. We rang out our clothes and put them in the trunk, and drove back home nearly naked with the heat blasting. A rainbow came out of the clouds.

3. The rain continued to come down, harder now, the umbrella did little to help shelter us from the elements. I convinced her that we might as well head back. We got up and started walking back towards the park’s entrance. The rain was coming down in buckets now, as you might expect a shower head turned on full blast to feel. There was no point to using an umbrella any more, we gave up and closed it. There was so much rain that it was running off the boardwalk into the water in small rivers. We were both completely drenched, and laughing. I took her in my arms and kissed her in the middle of the monsoon, nothing else mattered and in that instant we got lost in the moment. We both sat down in the middle of this bridge with the rain welling up around us. There was so much rain that you couldn’t see the island from whence we came. Ahead of us our destination was shrouded in clouds and rain. In every direction you looked, all that was visible was the immense monsoon that raged around us. Stranded in the middle of that bridge, with her in my arms, we both gave up and gave in…

2. After a short nap I opened the picnic basket and took out a cutting board and the food. We then proceeded to feed each other and shared 2 aranciatas. Another nap came out of left field after we had our fill, where upon I fell asleep on her chest and we listened to the sound of leaves rustling from the breeze. The trees were trying to tell us something, because christine opened her eyes for a minute and noticed an overcast coming from the east. I broke out the dessert and we had a few then decided to pack up. Rain was rolling in, and quick, and we had a long way to go before we could get back to the car. We walked back to the bridge and it started to rain, I pulled out a big umbrella and we sat down on a bench overlooking the hudson river and lady liberty. She took the umbrella and placed it between her legs, and I wrapped us in blankets. The rain came down heavy but there seemed to be a clearing in the sky, so we just sat and watched the water together waiting for the storm to pass. The sound of the rain hitting the umbrella while I rest my head on hers was absolutely poetic.

1. Christine and I went to liberty state park yesterday for a picnic, there was a 20% chance of showers in the forecast.. but when we got there the sky was almost completely clear! We brought a basket, lined with a floral pattern tablecloth, fresh provolone cheese, chorizo salami and prosciutto, and a container of mixed olives. for a drink we had san pellegrino aranciata. and as a surprise i got assorted italian pastries and a single rose and packed them into the basket. when we finally got there it was still really beautiful out, and we decided to walk across the boardwalk/bridge that led out to a little island. That is where we set up our picnic. There was a slight overcast when we got to the spot. It was situated under a big tree, we laid out two blankets and a tablecloth in the grass. The sun filtered through the leaves of the tree, and the temperature was a perfect 74 degrees in the shade. We caught our breath and fell asleep for a short time.
