Life in late capitalism can be vexing, alienating, fragmenting, and otherwise frustrating. There are many wonderful things in my life, but I'm more likely to talk about what's bad rather than what's good. I'm going to try to post one good thing here each day, and if you would join in by adding a good thing from your day in the comments, I'd love it--I'd absolutely love it. --RR
1/25: partners in grey
Without coordinating in advance, Chris and I both chose to wear grey today. I wore a new grey sweater, and Chris wore a warm and soft grey flannel shirt. There are many varieties of grey, but these clothes are the same light charcoal tone. It's not a color either of us wears often, so the chances of our choosing it on the same day were relatively slim. No one saw us together, so no one noticed, but it was nice that I knew we were matching.
I'm always fascinated how one color often dominates in a large room of people. It's like, on that evening, everyone agreed to wear green!
ReplyDeleteI do enjoy those days of chromatic synchronicity!
