running from reality

i forgot to charge my ipod when i got back from the show friday night, and it ran out of batteries on the T yesterday. i left the earbuds in (otherwise sometimes people talk to you), but i could still overhear a couple and their, i have no idea, 8 year-old daughter?

anyway the woman got a phone call, and it was i guess from their other kid who just broke up with their boyfriend, or they just got dumped, or whatever. after the call she told the daughter about it, and she looked quite upset. she wondered who would play basketball with her now. then she asked why, and was told that he had been talking to some other girl.

"WELL SCREW HIM!" she yelled, to the dismay of her parents.

i tried not to laugh too much.

i picked up islands' album; they weren't so bad when they opened for metric in... april? i really like this time of year, when you can hear the cicadas and just eat ice cream all day. of course i'm all out of ice cream, so i had to make due with some pickles. when they ran out i turned on the relish.
