Darlings on the split screen
I'm sitting here with my earphones in,listening to "Starlings of the slipstream",my new Pavement obsession song,for the zillionth time.
I was walking home from the store last night,and it came on my ipod.I had to stop in the middle of the sidewalk because the chorus just made me feel so weak and my heart swelled up.
I strongly advise you to get this song if you don't have it.It's really something.
This is my first entry in a while.
I've been busy getting sexed,being cooked for,sleeping and pretty much having a blissfully lethargic love-in reunion with my baby.
He's been officially back home for a week now.
It's indescribable.This ordeal really did make us stronger,and that's not to say that I'm happy it happened,but I think it happened for a reason,and,well..lesson learned.Hard.
Little things like sitting here typing,glancing back to the bed and saying something to him...and not having to cry because he's not there....wow.
I remember literally turning to the bed to speak to him and crying my eyes out when I realised he was in Aurora.
Now it feels like we just moved in together and we're just incredibly playful and laughing all the time.
It's paradise.And damnit,after the 3 months we've been through,we deserve it.
Shitty thing is Ken failed the semester due to stress and travel,so he can't go back to school until September.His dad was paying his rent while he was in school but since he failed and won't be going back this semester,his dad cut him off,and he basically has about 2 weeks to figure out how to pay rent.We'll figure it out.
The night he came back,we took some pictures.Just nice relaxed ones of us laying in bed with our heads together,stuff like that.Can't wait to get them developed.
Now I can also get my camera from the Interpol show developed so I'll see the pic with me and the guitarist,Daniel.The show took place the night before the arrest,so I wanted to wait until he was back home to get it developed,kind of symbolic to me.
So yeah,we've been going to this pub called Purdy's,it's an irish pub down the street.It's our new little place,we go for Amaretto sours and long island iced tea,and a few nights ago we had the most amazing nachos there.
I can't tell you how nice it is to just go have drinks with my best friend.
I keep looking over at him.He's sleeping and I'm just in awe of his unassuming beauty.He doesn't even know how exquisite he is.
Oh and today I get to to to Lenny's.we're gonna record some music,wicked.And then we're meeting with his karaoke host friend Nick,to talk about me becoming a karaoke host!! How insanely perfect would that be for me?! A job where I get to sing and get drunk..hahaha...awesome.
Mmmm the other day Ken made these lovely peanut butter pancakes with choc.chips...mmmmm....
Mmm pavement....
And Vee us all happy happy again,which makes me happy too. I never want to see her hurting like that again.
Well I should sign off here,gotta go get ready.My hair is soaked and smells like my new Orchid conditioner...mmm....and I don't have to wait until it dries to style it because I bought a straightener that actually dries my hair!!! Can you believe that shit??
I heard what you said -- the leaders are dead
They're robbing the skies -- I can hear their followers cry:
Ah -ooh -- starlings in the slipstream
Ah -ooh -- starlings in the slipstream
The language of influence is cluttered with hard hard C's
And I put a spy-cam in a sorority
Ah-ooh -- darlings on the split-screen
Ah-ooh -- darlings on the split-screen
There's no women in Alaska
There's no Creoles in Vermont
There's no coast of Nebraska
My mother, I forgot
Slavic princess with a rose in her teeth
Do you suppose she would bite you if she could?
Insane cobra split the wood
Trader of the lowland breed
Call a jittney, drive away
In the slipstream we will stay
Stay away, away, away, away, away, away, away, away, away
