Patty Griffin - Heavenly Day

I don't have time to be bored, but even if I did, I'm pretty sure I wouldn't feel that way. I can't remember the last time I did. My mind doesn't seem to want to let me. Even when I'm standing in line or stuck in traffic, my mind always finds a way to create stories, to remember things, to suppose and conjecture. (This can be problematic at times, actually.) I can get cynical, restless, pensive, eager for change, indignant, pissy, wistful, but not bored. There are too many friends and family members to catch up with and see, too much music, too many books, too many films, too many photographs to take, too many things happening, too much change to help along, too many stories to hear and tell. The issue for me has more to do with making choices about which book? which road to drive down? which film? which music? Life is rich and full, and boredom doesn't suit it.

I'm not. We've been messing around with the flying monkeys Susan #1 sent me, and I'm about to carve a pumpkin, and there may be a visit to the Lionsgate Mortuary coming up shortly. But even if it wasn't Hallowe'en I would not be bored.
