loveless.

yesterday was one of those perfect days. It wasnt sweaty or blinding. it was breezy and shady. AND jake didnt have to work. We drove over/down to Fairview and stopped at some little fleafurnitureflower markets and drove with our windows down through a very green, private, and hilly tennessee. 

then, naturally, we went to the legendary loveless cafe, where we had the most unhealthy but amazing meal. and i bought strawberry jam. jake finally has his camera back (aside: I gave it to him for his 18th birthday i think), which means picturesssssss. 

Last night, after I dropped Jake off, I went to Portland Brew in 12 South village and read All the Pretty Horses. Ive been very in love with this book thus far, and I have about 30 pages left. Here is something from it, which I cant help but love irrevocably:

The lights fell away behind them. They rode out on the high prarie where they slowed the horses to a walk and the stars swarmed around them out of the blackness. They heard somewhere in that tenantless night a bell that tolled and ceased where no bell was and they rode out on the round dais of the earth which alone was dark and no light to it which carried their figures and bore them up into the swarming stars so that they rode not under but among them and they rode at once jaunty and circumspect, like thieve newly loosed in that dark electric, like young thieves in a glowing orchard, loosely jacketed against the cold and ten thousand worlds for the choosing.
