95.5 - when autumn leaves start to fall

[hard-talker.livejournal.com]

[for once, there's no broadcast. this Monday evening finds Mark stretched out in a pile of leaves, with a few pillows he's wished up to give it some more substance and squish. his boombox is nearby, but he's not blasting it, per se - anyone who comes within six feet or so will be able to hear what he's listening to.

he's got a book in his hands, and his journal propped open in the leaves nearby, a flashlight tucked in the pocket of his shirt to read by, now that the sun's gone down, and a blanket over his shoulders]

.... Okay, so ... how've I gone from ten minutes to a building blowing up, to ... group therapy? Jesus, this book is whacked. ... [he snickers to himself and keeps on reading]

I love it already. ... [and then he tosses a remark toward the journal]

How's everyone else killin' time during good ole Leafstock?

Well, nah. That's what my weekly kick in the pants is for, though, yeah? [a pause. he has a feeling there's some experience in that last statement]

Everything OK, dude?

As well as can be expected. It's been a trying month.
