You might be interested to know that Cody ChesnuTT and I have resumed our one-way affair. Or not.

All day with no nicotine
Is the reason I been so mean
Oh baby forgive me for being the dick that I've been
To the children and you. --"Somebody's Parent"

In other news, I finally used my gift certificate. The haul?
M.I.A., Arular
Common, Be (Deluxe edition w/DVD)
Donny Hathaway, A Donny Hathaway Collection*
AND BONUS, cause it came out cheaper than I anticipated!!
The Best of the Stylistics!
Woo-hoo. Let's hope it arrives on the 6/23 and not the 6/28 end of their ridiculously long window of possible delivery times.

I would also hereby like it noted that my order is shipping from the same Connecticut suburb that I once used to go to in order to attend a queer club known as Choices (yes of course I entered it in chitinous's gayest gay bar names contest, duh) that had on the wall a pink square, blue triangle, and orange circle, etc. ("You queers--you like those colored shapes, right?") Dr. Poulet also once ran into her h.s. math teacher there.

I also got a copy of Grace by Jeff Buckley via a friend, chitinous.

Humph. Even stupid Amazon.com doesn't seem to carry Pitch Black Afro.

*Hathaway note for interested parties: Donny's daughter Lalah is playing Weds. 22nd at 7:00pm. in Rockefeller Park, NYC, as part of the River to River Festival.

lyrics, music, hip hop
