everybody is going through the motions



when i was fourteen i thought it would be really cool to dress like elvis costello. i wish i was kidding. i already had black plastic-framed glasses and an androgynous haircut. all i needed were a few blazers and ties. pulling off an elvis costello (circa 1978) look would not have been a problem.

really, though, i was--and am--just jealous of the guy. who wouldn't want to write something like this year's model? today i listened to that album no less than three times. it didn't make me want to put on a shirt and tie, but it did make me wish i could call "little triggers" my own.
