Sonny Boy Williamson II - 'It's Sad To Be Alone'

Album: The Blues Collection



Said Mephisto to me just as lightning lit up the gray skies outside the window, "Deliver yourself into you my hands; I swear, in six months, you'll be happier than a clam at high tide."

Caveat emptor I: Said he also, "... 'a clam at high tide' - that's a saying, an idiom ..."

Caveat emptor II: This is the selfsame man who'd professed to not believe in happiness as "happiness is an abstract - so what is happiness to you isn't happiness to another".

Deliver myself into the devil's hands?

Maybe ...

Perez Prado ft. Rosemary Clooney - 'Sway'

Album: More Music To Watch Girls By

I wonder if it would be possible - and wise - to take on six dance classes concurrently.

But that would mean I wouldn't have time for cello and German classes ...

Delicious dilemma, this.

Perez Prado f. Rosemary Clooney - 'Sway'

Album: More Music To Watch Girls By



Oh. My. Gaaaawd.

Seven hours of (mostly) dance classes yesterday - Intensive Stretch, Pole-xercise, Exotic Dance, Ladies Styling, Bachata, Casino Rueda, and Tango - I'm aching all over. And I think my Ladies Styling class today aggravated the sore muscles from butt down. I never thought dancing in heels would be such an exercise ...

Anyways. On to beginners 2 this Wed! (Hope Pole-licious 2 starts the same Saturday Pole-licious 1 ends - I'd love to do two hours of pole in a day!)

And ... Next Friday is coming!

K's Choice - 'I'm Not An Addict'

Album: Paradise In Me



There's something I shouldn't really be thinking about which I want so badly ... And there's the other thing, which I also want.

Each serves as a distraction from the other, keeping each other in check - a finely-tuned balancing act. But right now, the scale's tilting very dangerously to one direction and I can't have that. To want something I shouldn't want at all makes me feel doubly bad.

I need a third distraction in this mix.

Goldfrapp - 'Number One'

Album: Supernature



Learned tonight that the key to alleviating disappointment is to remember that not everything is about me, especially if it involved another person and what should happen is actually better for them than it is bad for me.

That being said, I'm quite excited about tomorrow - I just hope I wouldn't be too terribly disappointed by my excitement.

Such a lovely evening with Jen and Aileen; we made plans to do it one night every month.

Bored. A little sleepy, but ...

Can't really sleep.

30 Seconds To Mars - 'Attack'

Album: A Beautiful Lie



Not sure why I have this song in my head ever since I got home.

Anyway. Had lunch and a long chat (over coffee, in my office) with my favorite girl. I don't think I can measure or put into words exactly how much I love and admire and respect her.

Also: Completed first module of salsa today. Back feels pretty okay so far, the ache has subsided. I'm gonna go ahead with the six classes I'd planned to do this Sunday from 10:00 to 17:00.

Orange And Lemons - 'Let Me'

Album: Moonlane Gardens



Completed season four of The L Word in the office today, and have started on season five.

Is it me, or is the series going from bad to worse? Can they possibly fuck any more?And what's with the Jenny character - she's gone past obnoxious bitch into unchartered territories!

Can't wait for season three of Heroes!

Luz Casal - 'Un Año de Amor'

Album: The L Word Enhanced Soundtrack



This evening with Aileen, Alwyn, Carrie, Diana, and Jen was lovely. Over dessert, Jen mentioned those born in the year of the rooster will experience 桃花 - which may or may not always be a good thing.

I say bring it on, sister.



(Famous last words?)

Bishop Allen - 'Things Are What You Make Of Them'

Album: Charm School



You know, it's only 3^rd March, but I think I've been to the doc's more times in this year alone than I had the last two years combined.

Point: When I stepped into the doc's this evening, the receptionist (a new one) recognized me and called me by my first name.

Badtimingytis strikes again - in the form of a relapsed prolapsed disc this time, my fourth since 2003. Fingers crossed the next '-lapsed' wouldn't be collapsed.

FUCK.

The Shins - 'Caring is Creepy'

Album: Oh, Inverted World



"I've always wished I had an older brother," I said.

"You want to be taken care of." Not a question; a statement.

I thought about it. "Yeah ... I just want someone who'd take care of me, be on my side, make sure I don't get bullied and all that, you know?"

And I have to wonder if that would be so wrong, to want that.

Jamie Lidell ft. Jose Gonzales - 'Multiply (In A Minor Key)'

Album: Multiply Additions



I feel like there's so much in my head it's gonna explode - but ... no. It's just one thing. One. Fucking Thing. I don't know why or how I'd let it grown so huge it's become a full-blown obsession I can't get it out of my fucking head.

And the cherry on top of this is - I shouldn't be obsessing over it at all. I've something else I need to focus on.



Was sitting on the couch just now and had a great big sneeze that completely threw my lower back. FUCK.

FUCK.

Rach defined a relationship as something you invest time and money in: Food for thought for me there.

I made Praveen walk to the Gallery Hotel with me and we found a nice hangout spot there; eM, I think it's called (or something). Lovely night out.

I wish I had a super power (yes, I've been power-watching Heroes seasons one and two).
