Okay, so this is kind of hard to explain, but earlier today, I promised I'd do this (to no one in particular) and here I am, following through. I went to a pre-Thanksgiving dinner thing today and after a couple of courses and a couple of drinks (and many, many 90s classic singalongs--anyone remember Fastball?), all I wanted to was sleep. So I started mumbling about how I wanted to pass out under various, semi-therapeutic circumstances. Maybe you had to be there, and maybe I didn't have to write this list, but it was fun for me. And sometimes, you just have to put yourself first.
23. I just wanna drink a bottle of Nyquil and pass out while watching Heat.
22. I just wanna wrap myself in a fur coat and nap forever.
21. I just wanna crawl facefirst into a sleeping bag.
20. I just wanna crawl facefirst into a book bag.
19. I just wanna crawl facefirst into any kind of bag.
18. I just wanna take a shower while sleeping.
17. I just wanna take like, twelve Tylenol PMs and pass out in a closet.
16. I just wanna dip my face in warm milk and blow bubbles.
15. I just wanna dip my face in warm bubbles and blow milk.
14. I just wanna get all set up to watch some porn and fall asleep with my face on the keyboard.
13. I just wanna go all fetal position on the floor and dream about playing catch.
12. I just wanna get my belly rubbed by a big fat woman, while a little skinny woman scratches my head.
11. I just wanna fall asleep to Varsity Blues.
10. I just wanna fall asleep to the Friday Night Lights movie.
9. I just wanna fall asleep to the Friday Night Lights pilot.
8. I just wanna fall asleep to someone reading me the first chapter of the Friday Night Lights book.
7. I just wanna watch the end of V For Vendetta over and over again.
6. I just wanna put my face inside my pillow and half-sing showtunes.
5. I just wanna wrap my face in a hot towel and hum.
4. I just wanna have someone walk on my back while I stare off into the middle distance.
3. I just wanna collapse onto a floor made of pillows and listen to Nick Drake.
2. I just wanna be covered in cats.
1. I just wanna lie down and be kissed and not have to kiss back.
Mentioning Nick Drake got me to thinking which artists are best to listen to either on the way to or immediately after a Thanksgiving meal. Here they are in no particular order:
ReplyDelete1. The Band
2. Van Morrison (But only Astral Weeks)
3. Simon & Garfunkel
4. George Benson
5. Vince Guaraldi
Mmm taste the gravy and the warmth of Grandma's house. Or Pat's apartment. Or Pat dressed as a grandma.
(PS-Super duper sad that I could not be there for Pre-Thanksgiving, easily my favorite made-up NY based holiday).
