stray thoughts

just like in a movie...
You know those plots – a world is built up, then suddenly it’s all confusing and bad, and then you discover what you are sure is the context, the explanation… only to discover that while the context is true, the bad-confusion continues, so it’s not so much causal as accidental, and the author is sitting there, snickering into hir fist? Yeah, Author? I’d like to request less misleading like that, please. If you would. (0)

curiouser and curiouser...
…and not necessarily in a good way. Spring is definitely springing; everything is happening all at once. Some of it is very, very good (more on that soon). Some is… not. My heart aches for its attendant body-and-mind, and – in a different way – for a loved one. My mind reels. My body is a bit shell-shocked by all the house-painting and weight lifting and weather changes, but this part is good, it reminds me I’m still alive and not suspended in some alternate universe, flailing a bit and effecting change whose ramifications won’t become clear for months to years hence. And so we walk on. (0)

Excellent feature of seeing housemates’ music libraries through the local wireless network: listening to Erasure for the first time in, like, seven years. And dancing like a madwoman.

They were so good live! (And recently, actually - saw them on the true colors tour with Cyndi Lauper - who also was surprisingly kick-ass live, still :)

DG - oh, I’ll bet! That sounds like a great time. The closest I’ve come to hearing Cyndi Lauper live was when she sang on the Esplanade on the 4th of July some years ago. I’d love to see Erasure live, though it never occurred to me that they might still be touring. Bad fan!
