Here's another poem:
Maxine Kumin
At the End of the Affair
That it should end in an Albert Pick hotel
with the air conditioner gasping like a carp
and the bathroom tap plucking its one-string harp
and the sourmash bond half gone in the open bottle,
that it should end in this stubborn disarray
of stockings and car keys and suitcases,
all the unfoldings that...

Does anybody have a line on Dave Matthews' version of Butterfly?
He sings that during Because of Winn Dixie, and it's really beautiful.
Noir had me looking through my various ballads last night, and I recommended her one.
Here it is:
Out Of My Mind
John Gorka
From the album I Know, 1988
You're out of my mind
Guess that makes two of us...

If we see Eps. 7, 8, and 9, I will eat my Yoda hat.
I thought Episode 3 was great. I found a few points to emotionally invest myself in, something I can't say about Eps. 1 & 2.

Is there another way to get it to you?

Oh, I didn't write that, darlin'. It's a Murder City Devils lyric. 
The song is called "18 Wheels".

It's on Thursday. My knees quake at the very thought 
Two day shifts and two night shifts make me a tired boy today.
Coffee plus SG isn't really helping me get ready for work ... shower time!
Gah. These are getting a tad banal. Let's see, how about an interesting link? *looks*
Ehh, this one's okay for some free music -- legally. And a little poetry is always a good thing. Try 'i like my...

Duuude... I found an excellent substitute for coffee... it is called a Chocolixir by Godiva. In fact... the guy who was making it for me said you can only have one a month because it is so rich in sugar/chocolate and caffeine! Starbucks?! Fuck Starbucks!!!
Yes... I have a kink level. I love to watch porn with friends. It's funny. It's weird though when everyone gets quite though... then there is this like, "What now?" air in the room... too weird for me...

Hehe. Thanks.
I'm doing much better. But I still wish I could take my head off and drain it.

to copy a style I've seen here ...
Music: Duke Ellington, Three Suites
Mood: disquiet
I'm not certain about work. They have a love/hate thing with me, and I with them.
And I'm being courted for another job, and I'm not sure I'll like it.
This is the backgound for my disquiet and rising stomach acid.
So far I have dealt with this by avoiding...

Money is the devil but I would gladly play the advocate! Hee hee.
So you asked if I seriously watched porn...
yes... seriously!

This entry is way over my head right now...
but, hi.
but, hi.
I am essentially without motivation after no sleep.
I have existed on too much coffee today, and now I'm ready to close up shop.
Happy, happy.
UPDATE
overripe pizza apparenty had me near hallucination stage.
fortunately, that's no longer a problem

Yeah, painting it was a pain, but I love the results.
I painted it with 2 coats of the actual color and let it dry overnight. Then I taped off 10" stripes with 10" between each one, and painted every other one with a clear coat sealer. Be sure to take the tape off pretty quickly or else it will rip off the solid color!!

The burlesque is going to be embarrassing. I have no experience, I can't practice properly, and I know I'm going ot make a tit of myself, PLUS my friends are all coming down, and don't yet know that I'll be dancing.
On the other hand, it'll be fun, I have the satisfaction in knowing I made my (slightly crappy) costume all by myself, it can only get better

When I read this yesterday, I wanted to share it here.
A poem by Jane Cooper
Rent
If you want my apartment, sleep in it
but let's have a clear understanding:
the books are still free agents.
If the rocking chair's arms surround you
they can also let you go,
they can shape the air like a body.
I don't want your rent, I want...

hello
noir:
Thank you. I'm a bit better already. I still feel dizzy and my ears hurt and I'm hot. And I'm still in culture shock. But still better than I was yesterday.
I get the quotes of the day and other random stuff sent to me, and when I remember to read it, it's usually entertaining.
Today's interesting tidbit was:
A desk is a dangerous place from which to watch the world.
John le Carre
English suspense novelist (1931 - )
It's true. Sitting on your ass and talking to the same people all the time leads...

The househunt hasn't really got any further, but the estate agent has finally got back to me to let us view a house we've wanted to see for ages. So if that goes well...*fingers crossed*. If not we're kind of back at square one again.
Lots of positive energy being directed your way ♥

I bought National Treasure while doing some last minute shopping for mother's day, and it really wasn't too bad.
I also got a copy of Before Sunrise, to go with my copy of Before Sunset. Both are great movies.

thanks! i'm glad to be back. hope everything is good with you, too, hon.
belladea:
Predator is pretty um... crap, but it is entertaining in its crapness. Isn't that the one where the guy's arm gets severed and keeps on shooting the gun? I loved that when I was 10.
I wasn't on the pill. I was on the shot. The shot is far more evil than the pill, but you don't have to remember to take it everyday. I'm lazy, what can I say?

There's nothing like sitting in the sun.
I finished Border Crossing, which appears to be mostly about a character who appears in Double Vision. Both were quite good, but didn't touch the William Gibson books I read in between the other two.

Odd things are the best things
I'm glad it worked. It wasn't the best version because of the screaming and stuff, but it was the best I could get.
