Tonight, I'm going to watch 'Rear Window'


Because tonight I'm sitting by the window and forget that people can hear me when I spontaneously scream or yell various obscenities (nicely). Tonight, I will only check my email once more and I swear I'm not going to eat another Newman's Own hint of mint cookie-and definitely not an entire row as I once did (because I like to do things whole-heartedly). But back to tonight. Tonight, I will look out my own windows at the lives of my neighbors: the cd collections, the christmas lights of his or her former dorm room and the many televisions, while I still long of having one of my own. But tonight there will be no blue aura emanating from my windows because tonight I'm watching Hitchcock on the small screen [read: my laptop].
