Senses

I watched Perfume this week.  It was one of the high points of my week.  Mishak wrote a very stunning review of it somewhere back in his journal, and I lack the brainpower to do it sufficient justice.  It is a fabulous movie, and i'll likely be more coherent about it if you want to discuss it in person *hint*

Inspired by the movie, let me recap my week with a tour of the senses.

Monday - touch: The feel of a body pressed to yours in friendly greeting, clinging to you for warmth.
Tuesday - smell: Pungent human aromas from hours spent in the gym, your own faint odor vanishing in the cold air as you step outside.
Wednesday - hearing: the constant rattling of the storm outside, like footsteps walking down your hall, keeping you from sleeping
Thursday - taste: a cosmopolitan that was sickly sweet, almost too much so to drink
Friday - sight: bodies clad in leather and vinyl, twisting shapes in the darkness, a pool table and two cues.  This is yet to come.
