elsewhere and earlier, i was discussin' pillows.

and i keep 5 on my bed ( one is a 'body pillow'), and 3 on my couch.

On the couch is the Giant Catfish ( what almost feasted on this certain Californian) that i've had since probably 1998. i picked it up while travelling at some Mal*Wart near the Arkansas/Tennessee border. i remember it was late late night ( like 3-4AM), in the middle of the week, and i wheeled in to get oil for the truck and Gatorade. i passed this bin fulla fish-pillows and it was the only catfish. Now, while in line holding this thing, there were some giggles ( not mine), and i remember wondering if the catfish one was the rare one, or the most popular one, since i didnae see but one.
but i've never seen another since.

The leopard-print one was left from a visit from the Rocket Scientist. She had scooted down to Roanoke from DC-ish for a little visit, and she stayed with me in my beat-up little cottage. i took the futon, gave her the bed, and she left her pillow. it smelled like her for almost a week after, and tho it's been a few years, i still remember that it smelled like her, tho i cannae remember the smell. and i wasnae in love with her, then. Seems i never quite am, tho i think sometimes i'd like to be.

The Mary one? i have a fetish for Mary. Mebbe it's an miss-hit earth-mother thing, mebbe it's the comforat of the Sacred Heart, mebbe it's some leftover Catholic Acid living in and leaking from my spine, i dunno. She's pretty boss tho. i saw that pillow at some sideroad Mexican thingy and brought it home.
