“fate is kind she brings to those who love, the sweet fulfillment of their secret longing…”

ps.  maybe meg should have warmed up a little… :)

thanks for that nic nell.  (<— listen to all the music from that article.  cliff martinez!  yes!  steel drums.  they get me every time.)

Snow - Orlando : “The crunch of walking slowly in snow….its a totally unique crunch, as though the sturdy little crystals, below foot, that have built upon each others frozen and structured determination, release a final cackle. A “no surrender” scream in the face of insurmountable opposition. These icy paratroopers assured an honorable death, unique individuals in their prime, going out fighting, not in a squelch, not in a drip, but in a battle hardened crackling crunch.”

:)  there is just something about a good writer isn’t there?

this is exactly how i’m feeling right now.  i’d go ballistic if i saw this live.  it’s one of my ultimate happy songs.  just had such a good night in benicia.  

lady i didn’t know:  ”i just had to tell you, we heard your voice from the street and it lured us up.  that’s why we came!”

me:  ”oh….we should should hug!  *hugging*  thank you!!”

then i was so happy on the way home, i cried.  i’m so glad we had a good long set.  we had such a shit show on saturday.  at one point i was bent over and eked out, “oh my god…so painful….”  (i was laughing, but it was still so terrible.)  this was after the second song brian stopped in the middle of and started over, like without any warning…so i’m singing my little heart out, song stops and i have to sing the same song with same (or more) emotion ‘cause he fucked it up.  painful.  

thank god for singing.  and then this.  pretty bird…

oh AND, got my el rey tickets!!!  called the independent today but the show has not been confirmed.  waiting…three down, one to go.
