: :Colophon:
: : • Pants named Swankyville from a foot fetish ad
: : Tova found for him.
: : • So I suppose it's really Tova who named it.
: : • He kept the clipping in his wallet and pasted it on
: : our door the first day we moved in.
: : • We called it a curse when we realized one of us
: : was always single.
: : • Pants' CD player, the one in the living room, had a
: : peculiar alarm glitch.
: : • Sometimes we would be blessed at four in the
: : morning with Otis Redding's Satisfaction
: : or Jeff Buckley's Grace
: : or Tom Waits
: : or Psych Furs
: : or Stray Cats
: : or Moz.
: : • The day we looked at the apartment, Mitch and I
: : reconciled our girl and religion differences.
: : • Pants and I have yet to do that, I sometimes think.
: : • The weekend Pants moved out, I smartly went to a
: : Guided By Voices concert with Clark and Seth.
: : • It took us one month to air out Pants' room so
: : Sarah could move in.
: : • We drank Combustible Edisons at the
: : housewarming party, an affair with a
: : $300 alcohol bill.
: : • My girlfriend had so many she flashed her zebra
: : panties everywhere while I pawed her on the
: : couch.
: : • That night I held her as she cried into my shoulder
: : that she was drunk and the world would not let go
: : or even stop.
: : • Just make it stop, I told her.
: : • I can't, she sobbed. I can't.
: : • Why can't you? I honestly couldn't understand
: : how a person could be that fucked drunk.
: : • When I was sure she was asleep, I went outside
: : to watch Beck videos with Tova and Mitch.
: : • Pants openly hated Bokonon, for reasons I could
: : never discern.
: : • Maybe who he really hated was me and we were both too
: : wrapped up in the notion that we were friends to realize it.
: : • The housing manager once asked me to keep
: : Bokonon on a leash while I was outside with her.
: : From this I concluded she had never owned a cat.
: : • Most of the time, all three of us played our stereos
: : at once. I grew very fond of the new artists that
: : emerged.
: : • Like Massive Flaming Smiths.
: : • Or Swans of Psychedelic Grace.
: : • Mitch had one breakup. I had two. Pants and Sarah
: : maintained their miracles.
: : • At least until they moved out.
: : • We didn't need a view. We had music and scotch
: : and youth and beer and girls and jobs.
: : • Swankyville was our first and finest mistake.
: : • Sorry about the REM. Sometimes I can't resist
: : overtweaking.
: : • Within three days of his departure, Pants had
: : taken down the Swankyville sign. We still called it
: : Swankyville. It still feels like home.
