I should clarify one thing.

I have two appointments tomorrow: the physical at 3, right in town -- so just a trail away -- and Doc L at 8.45, on Linden Rd., which would definitely be too long to walk. That's why Papa's driving me. ;-)

I'm sorry if I scared anyone or hurt anyone's feelings in any way. I am probably the human equivalent of the 1812 Overture, complete with cannon. I don't always know where I'm not wanted, so please forgive me.

New dictionary entry?

Useful during flame wars, evidently!

Fun dreams last night. Attack of the people-eating seductress! It was the season finale of some show or another, and one of the characters was going to die, but I didn't know who. Lots of opportunities, let me tell y'all! In the end, the good guy got away, only to get hit by a truck and that's how he died. His wife moved out to Bumfuck, Texas to revel in her widowhood. The vagina-eating villain is still at large.

A music post.

Because I've been listening to some neat stuff lately.

FIRST AND FOREMOST on the list: Klaus Nomi. Yes, he's dead. That doesn't mean his music died with him. Many, many thanks to lakini_malich for turning me on to this guy. His range is better than mine. Rose, you would love his soprano work. (That is not a typo.) "After The Fall" is a delightfully Cold War rock-pop-ish song. It's even in my list of interests. I had to put it in quotes because apparently there's some emo band called After The Fall. Hmph. "Death" is very... final, let's say. And beautiful.

Very fond of Poe's "Trigger Happy Jack," if only because I love the line "Can't talk to a psycho like a normal human being."

Recently rediscovered "Always" by Erasure; it was one of my favorites way back when I wrote idealistic little love stories about idealistic little men.

"Turn Off The Light" by Nelly Furtado was great when it came out and is still great.

"Sapphire" by Big Electric Cat has an eighties feel to it... hold on... that's because, according to Yahoo, one of their influences happens to be the sci-fi classic "Blade Runner." (Speaking of sci-fi: Mandie, did we ever show that before?) Sticks in ze head, stays on ze playlist.

"Wild Honey" by U2 got me through many a Sunday morning doing signs at the supermarket. It's so very upbeat and pretty.

(Aside: I am so sick of staring at Carrie from Sex and the City on my wall. I will probably cannibalize that poster today for scrapbook material.)

Wench's "Radio India" is danceable and listen-able at the same time. I do both. ^_^

"Layla" by Malice in Leatherland is very real -- so it should be, as the fabulous Basim (bedhoppngothboi) is also very real.

Arrgh!

The appt was at two. Not three. I've missed it quite spectacularly. So much for that. All the crap I went through actually getting an appointment and I go and miss it.

*blasphemes offstage*

I give up. Nothing is as it should be these days.

This means that I'm at home, of course, so if anyone needs anything, here I am. *throws arms wide, flops backwards on bed*

For Rose:

The Nomi she wanted --

After The Fall

Death

Enjoy, dear!
