Favorite Quote of Today
One of My Top Five All-Time Favorite Songs and the Only Thing Making Me Not HATE Today.
The Eagles “Peaceful Easy Feeling”
I like the way your sparklin earrings lay
Against your skin so brown
And I want to sleep with you in the desert tonight
With a billion stars all around…
I get this feelin’ I may know you
As a lover and a friend
But this voice keeps whispering in my other ear
Tells me I may never see you again…
I actually have the farthest thing from a peaceful easy feeling right now as I am in the midst of the worst (what has so far been) four-day allergy attack of my motherfucking LIFE. I feel alternately like 1) my cheekbones are about to bust right off my face and / or 2) my entire head is going to EXPLODE. **
Fun times.

Favorite Song of This Wednesday* Morning
Alexi Murdoch “All My Days”
And I’ve been tryin to find, what’s been in my mind
As the days keep turning into night…
Well I have been quietly standing in the shade, all of my days…
Many a night I found myself with no friend standing near, all of my days…
For I look around me, and my eyes confound me
and it’s just too bright, as the days keep turning into night…
Now I see clearly: it’s you I’m looking for, all of my days
So I smile and know I’ll feel this loneliness no more, all of my days…
Murdoch was basically the entire soundtrack to Away We Go a few weeks back and I just keep needing to listen to him. If you aren’t familiar, you can try him out over here.
* ‘S only Wednesday? Sigh.
Different Strokes.
My approach to Twitterites who flood the stream with 89,000 @ replies a day: stop following them.
Andrew (Huffen)’s approach to the same: follow (way) more people. then you don’t notice them!
Favorite Song of This Tuesday Morning
Neil Nathan “California Run”
You’re my blue sky fantasy
You’re my pretty melody
You’re my future history
Favorite Song of This Monday Morning
Pete Yorn “Social Development Dance” (from his new album “Back & Fourth” that I really, really like)
And when we kissed it was electric
A chemist made us for each other…
There’s something missing in us
We long to make it whole
Though it never feels like it
I know you have it all
I know you have it all…
I heard you were staying up north with a friend
And that your hair was falling out
I tried to find out what had happened to you
I googled you in quotes, got no results
I never learned how you had died
But I knew how you had lived…
I heart Band of Brothers.
Nixon: I don’t know why I’m still doing this.
Winters: What, drinkin’?
Nixon: No, hiding it in your footlocker. I’m a captain, for christ’s sake.
Winters: Well, why don’t you just give it up.
Nixon: Drinking?
Winters [with sarcasm]: No, hiding it in my footlocker. You’re a captain, for pete’s sake.
I know the feelin’.
“It’s funny,” she said, narrowing her eyes. “There are things you’re just positive will happen to you. Then there’s that second when you realize, Jesus Christ. Maybe they won’t.”
-from “Passing the Hat” by Jennifer Egan (short story published in “Emerald City” collection).
MomReaction: Drag Me to Hell.
The reviews said it was scary and funny.
It was just stupid.
