My copy of Sonic Youth's new album, <i>The Eternal</i>, arrived earlier this week. It's hard to imagine a more embraceable package of vinyl. We hit it off immediately. I mean, we really just sort of clicked. It was all very natural, very comfortable. It was, you know, <i>easy.</i>

And then I just sort of couldn't help myself. I mean, maybe you've been in a situation like this, too. I don't know. It was kind of just <i>hanging there</i>, waiting to happen. I know we had only just met&#151I hope you don't think less of me because of this&#151but I really think the time was right.

I know, I know. Things were going pretty fast, but it all felt so <i>natural</i> and neither one of us wanted it to stop. When it all got a bit too heated, we slowly moved on to the couch.

Afterwards, we spent the most delicious morning together, just holding one another. Everything felt so thick and hot and <i>gorged</i>. We couldn't help but move slowly. Time felt <i>eternal</i>.
