The Addams Family (1991)

I asked a friend to go pick some mint while I went to the greenhouse to get lemon balm, for our herbal tea, and soon after she left she called from the garden "How do I tell the mint and stinging nettle apart in the dark...?" then immediately added "You're about to say the mint smells minty while the stinging nettle stings. Don't!!" and it made me smile and I wished I could take a screenshot of these words, just to keep a little written trace of this uneventful evening. Sure I can write it down (as I am doing), but then I felt wistful about all the other trivial exchanges I don't get to archive. I know with texts and such a lot of them are in written form nowadays and can be saved, but I've always wanted to save everything. I think from now on I'm going to ask my friends to take a monastic vow of silence when they come to my house so they'll have to write everything down, preferably on stone tablets so computer issues and house fires can't make their words disappear. Yes. This way I will finally become cool and laid-back about memory and loss and the ephemeral nature of existence.
