Hmmm. The world grows increasingly smaller. Caro and I are watching Athens, Georgia Inside Out. She was talking about Flat Duo Jets and Dexter whathisname and suddenly it dawned on me that Dexter once dated my friend Victoria back when we were at VCU in Richmond. Huh - I remember him vaguely maybe meeting a couple of times, and Vicky and I still stay in occasional touch. Something is stuck in my head that he was a kind of a jerk. Small town rock and roll. Cutting edge, yes, small town, too. I watch these sort of things (this movie is from 1987) and can't help but wondering how many people have died. Funny, Caro just pointed out one of them now. It feels nostalgic. I'm losing it a bit tonight, I feel like I'm holding onto the past by a small black thread stretched thin. It's in a moment, snaps and then is lost. I can't quite get some of those feelings from back then back. Funny, that I quoted R.E.M. earlier today. Funny, but only so much.
