"i'm a good kisser, and you're a fast learner, and that kinda thing could float us, for a pretty long time."  Ani Difranco

That's what I'm listening to, relishing in the thought of thoughts passed by.

It's a little beyond 6:30 p.m. on a Thursday night sometime in the beginning of August 2005.  I don't know if there's ever been a time in my life

Man - you must have totally rocked writing the horoscope column.

Nah - for real though, you have more than just songs - you have the memory and meaning attached to them - good or bad. And thank fuck that no one can take those from you.

I hope the book is coming well - i forgot to ask about it last night.

How's that Sinatra song go? 'No, no they can't take that away from me.'? I always loved that song...

but ever since I first saw the movie that summed up my life, High Fidelity, I always think back to the beginning, when John Cusack says in his monologue, "What came first, the music or the misery?"

Sometimes, I'm not so sure...

do not put your life in a box so small as a movie - even though we want to - don't.

I think Forrest would object to this statement, because it would pretty much shoot down his whole analogy with the chocolates, but yeah...

My only mention of High Fidelity comes with the fact that I remember sitting on the end of my bed watching it for the first time, watching the character unfold in front of my eyes, and all the while it felt in many ways that the television screen was a mirror to my life. The music. The misery. The overanalysis of life, love, and loss--and how it usually comes after the fact. Plus, there were two Bob Dylan songs, and some good ones at that, so yeah...

PS: I'm sick of complimenting you - so just take that how you want. ;)

Compliments are almost as nice as cookies - so just take that how you want ;)
