Elliott Smith - 'Say Yes'

Album: Either/Or

I miss you.

You left without a kiss.

How am I going to sleep tonight?

Maggie Gyllenhaal - 'Just The Way You Are' (Billy Joel cover)

Album: Happy Endings OST

Don't know; was thinking about how to handle it, then about how I didn't want to - or couldn't - but finally realized that I was already thinking about how, so didn't want to, couldn't, doesn't even come into play.

If x is a given, then y and z don't exist.

(Some Irish Tune On A CD She Burned)

Last session of pole practice for the year.

ARRRGGGH!

=(

Abra Moore - 'Taking Chances'

Album: No Fear

Hello, you.

Nellie McKay - 'A Christmas Dirge'

Bye, little baby.

Death Cab For Cutie - 'I Will Follow You Into The Dark'

Album: Plans

Feel so unsettled - and the feeling's quite out of the blue - wonder what sort of solace I can find tonight.

Perhaps Eliot (again) ...

Elliott Smith - 'Say Yes'

Album: Either/Or

A happy day and then you pay ...

After his call at 17:18:33 ("... Reily is dying ...") and his forwarded text at 17:25:04 ("No options left, severe bleeding in both sides of brain and lungs, blood pressure dropping, ventricles in head sverely [sic] enlarged ..."), I saw a rainbow.

I love rainbows, am always happy to see one. But not today.

At this point, I don't know what it means to be wishing and hoping for the best anymore.

What's the best that could happen - and should?

Ephemera - 'Last Thing'

Album: Last Thing [EP]

Nailed a new position today - go, me!



And: Singapore is freaking small!

Stars - 'Tonight'

Album: Nightsongs

After a lovely lunch break, I got a call that stunned me for a moment - my favorite girl had an emergency caesarean last night. Little Reily is a six-month premie.

All the energy I have goes into hoping - hoping everything turns out well.

I think it would be a busy period from tomorrow to next Friday.

Can't wait, really.

Pink Floyd - 'Wish You Were Here'

Album: Wish You Were Here

Still so tired; fatigued.

Maybe from the babysitting at work, maybe from trying to coordinate a number of events - I don't know - but whatever it is, I'm eating non-stop again.

Had the most ... WTF-was-that dream last night. Seriously. Totally. Haven't the slightest clue how or where or when it germinated ...

Elliott Smith - 'Say Yes'

Album: Either/Or

Situations get fucked up and turned around sooner or later
I could be another fool or an exception to the rule
You tell me the morning after

Crooked spin can't come to rest
I'm damaged bad at best
She'll decide what she wants
I'll probably be the last to know
No one says it 'til it shows
See how it is, they want you or they don't
Say yes

I'm so tired tonight.

Just so tired.

Johnny Logan - 'Hold Me Now'

Album: Kuschelrock

I thought about it this evening: On the surface, what I have now seems a lot; but, upon deeper examination, what I have is really ... nothing.



Except for Rach's wings which she'd given to me last night.



'Tis a bad dark moon night.

Kate Rusby - 'Underneath The Stars'

Album: Underneath The Stars

As always, it's beyond wonderful to hang out with Rach - dinner (Riverside Tandoor), coffee (Ricciotti), and drinks (Marrakesh).

Over dinner and coffee, we talked about everything and nothing in particular; and she warned me about Mephisto.

Over drinks, we read Neruda's 'Puedo escribir los versos más tristes esta noche' aloud.

If only time could slow down even if a little ...

But everybody leaves, sooner or later.
