Rites of Spring

It is charming, downright charming to see the courtship that exists between Santiago and the ever-delightful Marcia Brady. How many afternoons do they while away with him sprawled across his lofted bed as she sits below typing away on his computer, searching for dreamy apartments she might share with Lyra....*sniff* I smell a sit-com!

Santiago has claimed that it is not a romance! He goes onto to call it the 'Reverse Cave-man'! As exotic and innuendo-laden as that may sound, it merely refers to the inter-convertible dynamic between the two. There are times when he upbraids her rather, uh, PINK taste in animated, oriental cat-like creatures (Hello Kitty!). But there are also times when she snaps back! A witty retort, normally punctuated with peals of Lyra's laughter, are a source of great warmth to this heart. Santiago and Marcia! The quick glint of her nose-stud is a flash I sometimes see in his blue eyes as he tries to work his way through the mess of mixed messages he has to contend with. And he says that it is not a romance! Silly rabbit!

My philandering mind did decide to pay court to Marcia myself, merely to create a 'Two Gentlemen of the Smiley-Midwest' type of situation- a harmless catalyst to, how do you say, speed up the lady's decision, but Santiago declined. Drama is a an acquired taste I suppose and yes, that is something I am finding out the hard way, thanks to Hamlet! Oh how the moon
creates tides in his blood! Like a mood-ring from the days of yore, he waxes moody, acerbic, witty, demure, vicious, analytical and just so overdone! God knows, I'd be destitute without Hamlet but seriously! Since the it is the sublime Luna who causes this, I turn to the moon itself to bloom and bring peace...

But no, I shan't think of it now, I shall think of that later. Right now, this writer wants to do something! Anything really, to make things happen between Marcia and Santiago!

Until the next time,
