Earlier this week, a very Italian customer with the name of Evangelini (bearers of good news) asked me "do you nostalgia your home?" His strange use of 'nostalgia' as a verb sparked a questioning of just what I feel about the past - do i miss it? do i cherish it? am i glad its over?
Maybe it's the shifting season and daylight savings, but I am feeling nostalgic. Missing eras, people, places, and things that have somehow resigned themselves to the past. Today I had a strong craving for hashbrowns and the American diner experience.
Jane and I were talking about childhood Christmas decorations and the 'concertina snowflakes' as we dubbed them --- is there a word for them? The store-bought ones that start flat and open out into 3d tissue-paper creations - usually snowflakes or wedding bells... they seem so hard to find these days.
"concertina snowflake".... that's a pretty drag name. I nostalgia concertina snowflakes and American hashbrowns.
