my get pushed partner this week is sem
@semjaja and his challenge is "in one frame capture a piece of story, like a single frame from a comic book, something like that."
a single frame that captures a piece of a story. the story told by the lyrics of the song "cabaret" came to mind:
"i used to have a girlfriend known as Elsie
with whom i shared four sordid rooms in Chelsea
she wasn't what you'd call a blushing flower
as a matter of fact she's rented by the hour.
the day she died the neighbors came to snicker:
"well, that's what comes from too much pills and liquor."
but when i saw her laid out like a queen
she was the happiest corpse i'd ever seen.
i think of Elsie to this very day.
i'd remember how she turned to me and say:
what good is sitting alone in your room?
come hear the music play
life is a cabaret, old chum
come to the cabaret."
--o0o--
i knew there was a reason why i was keeping those old leftover meds from a long time ago; and people thought i had a death wish. yeah, they wish! and i have all these booze in my home because i use them for cooking. hic! hahaha! actually, those are empties except for the little flask of brandy which i use for cooking. honest! hic!
thought i'd get this challenge out of the way this early since it's a holiday today in toronto and i had nothing else to do so i had time to do a set up. i'm planning to go on a one-hour walk after this and then try to go to bed early.
hic!
btw, you've inspired me to experiment with a selfie like your new profile shot !
