Meditation

I keep seeing memes in other people's journals that look neat, but I can't manage to pull them off.

For instance, tonight, I was looking at the false memories one, but I couldn't come up with a single false memory worth its salt. Everything I wrote just looked incredibly lame. Maybe it's just tonight. I have a vague thought that I might have contributed one to somebody else's journal last time I caught up on my friends list.

And then there's the "lyrics from 20 random songs from your playlist". The problem is, my playlist is, these days, mostly composed of songs ripped from my CDs, and albums that I have on CD are, in general, those that I know the least. CDs are a relatively recent addition to my collection, and apparently a mere half-dozen years is not enough for these songs to have become familiar. When I had to spend all my time doing lyrics searches on Google, and had fallen three songs behind, I gave up. I don't know these songs, so why should I expect anyone who reads this to?

Maybe I'll limit it to my 5-star rated songs and try it again sometime. But not right now.

I remember the cup of tea we had at Shakespeare & Co. in Paris that one time. We were celebrating finding that first edition book of Rosetti poetry; I'd lost the trail in Prague, but you'd somehow managed to pick it up again somewhere outside of Rodbyhavn. Our buyer had insisted on meeting us in Paris, which had seemed only fitting since Luke was celebrating his honeymoon there. You had that amused sadness in your eye that you often get at the end of a good book hunt; you said you never had been fond of denouements. I reminded you that there were still plenty of lost materpieces out there, and there were, but that Rosetti volume turned out to be the last big one.

Luke and his wife joined us later; the weather cleared, and we all shared a very pleasant bottle of Fitou at a cafe along the river.

Certainly you remember the Jane Siberry concert where the male audients threw their underwear at her?
