5:54 p.m.

yesterday we were laying around naked (and then later semi-clothed) in bed, listening to 45s on malinda's little blue see-through record player.

she was introducing me to songs that she would listen to when she was younger. indie rock, from her high school days.

she would put a record on and say, "oh, this is a good one!" smiling, staring off. and then, eventually, she would say, "i haven't listened to these in a long time."

and there was this one pavement song that she played for me where stephen malkmus sang the lines, "you're gorgeous, i'm pretty handsome too/we make a pair, me and you/me and you forever, on and on and on and on/me and you forever on and on."

yeah.

i couldn't have said it better myself.
