the color brown

i have an interesting relationship with brown.

i like brown clothes. brown shoes. brown belts, and handbags, and headbands, and clips. i really do like brown when it comes in wood tones. i like pretty brown nail polishes. brown's just a nice color sometimes.

i hate brown upholstry. brown carpet. brown courtains, and chairs, and trim, and houses, and cars. i include beige in this category. i hate beige. brown's just plain ugly sometimes.

today is Brown Day. here in dirt town, the dirt has risen, and has been blowing about at an average speed of about 30 or so miles per hour. the sky is brown. cars are brown. people are brown. the water from a shower is brown as it washes off the sky. the window sills are brown. everything's brown.

you go out to check your mail, you come back inside, you brush the brown out of your teeth.

i signed up for grad school here, but not for chocolate milk skies. and it's only supposed to get murkier into the night. i'll be browned in tomorrow.

yuck.
