Love Comes To Me
Lyrics by: Bonie 'Prince' Billy


When the numbers get so high
Of the dead flying through the sky
O, I don't know why
Love comes to me
Love comes to me

When your mouth is laying ope
Head knocked back you don't cope
You're out of rings and flowers and soap
Love comes to me
Love comes to me

Love comes to me
Love comes and all
It's my hands, my heart, my lips
And that is all

When the fever hits your forehead
And trusive mice chew up your bed
And you call on God and God is dead
Love comes to you
Love comes to you

O, sugar won't you be my only
I'm a hard-hearted honey-pot hungry shepherd
And I'm longing to be born for you, that's her

Love comes to you
Love comes and all
It's your hand, your heart, your lip
And that is all

In the night time when you feel me
And the backs of your knees conceal me
And your eyeballs unreal me
Love comes to me
Love comes to me

Coach Before Class

FROM CRAIGSLIST:
free indoor cat to good home (eureka, ca) Date: 2009-02-22, 9:41PM PST 1 and a half year old cat name basil is looking for a good home. Indoor, cannot be around dogs. Other cats ok.
Location: eureka, ca
it's NOT ok to contact this poster with services or other commercial interests
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

It's nice to know that although this person cannot seem to manage the commitment they made to the cat they can manage to commit to a hideous and expensive Coach bag. Maybe if you weren't such an idiot you could keep both your cat and your purse!

The Audacity

To have, not one, but two babies... without have even one job.

Congratulations, you just might be THE biggest loser.
----------------------------------

I thought about taking this down as I have a feeling that the person whom it is about has read it. Well... good. Someone's gotta give a dose of reality and I know I can't do it face-to-face (perhaps I should have left a real-life passive aggressive note?) Why not face-to-face? Because I love her one on one, it is only upon reflection that, well, this stuff comes out.

Love Cow

Behold, the cow with Love on his forehead!

Video Jugs

I LOVE this site

It features videos on anything you've ever wanted to know, didn't know you wanted to know or, really, could've lived without but somehow it's valuable.

It runs the gamete as far as topics go, from videos made (I think, I hope) in jest to actual how-to videos on cooking, make-up, love, DIY, Style in general and sooooooo many more. I highly recommend! I've "learned" many different things including:

-how to know you're in love

-how to be a perfect girlfriend

-how to make naan

-how to make hummus

And these are so very few of what they've got going on!


In the meantime, please enjoy...

"How to be the Perfect Girlfriend"

THE LOVE STORY:How To Be The Perfect Girlfriend

Henry is always sexy.

Henry Then... Henry Now...

Both work. But I much enjoyed the latter last night--
his show = amazing!!

If you get a chance to see him, you should!!!

Laughter through tears. Tears that become laughter. Rage.

And damn me if he isn't sexy!!

Haiku. Haiku very much.

Sparks fly, angels talk,
time is bought and mountains walk.
How thoughts become things.

I've since calmed down

It just bothers me so much to see unfairness. If it were an ideal world, that would make me an excellent judge... hahaha, yeah... IF. Well, you know, if I could curb that whole tendency to be really judgemental ;)

But in this imperfect world I am destined to continually run up against and be bombarded by things I find unfair. What can I do? Get upset, cry, etc... eventually offer it up, treat people fairly and be understanding-- especially, it seems, when others are not in return.


*I do not pretend to be a saint...
but I cannot pretend not to care*

It Takes Time To Translate

Hello Teacher, how are you? Me? I'm fine. What? An assignment? A map? Is everyone else getting it today? And there's going to be a test? Next Friday?

I work with a ninth grader who is blind. My main job is (not to be corny but) to be her eyes. In addition to this, I am in charge of making the curriculum accessible for her. The curriculum runs the proverbial gamete but definitely includes maps, charts, Brailling music and other things of that nature. I cannot stress this enough:

THESE THINGS TAKE TIME!!

I cannot, for example, pull a blind-friendly map, marked with all the historically poignant places, topographical information and the like out of my ass; no, it is more like a craft. How is this translatable? I have to ask myself. On a side note: this creativity is one of the things I love most about my job! But, again, these things take time.

When I am not given adequate time to prepare documents for Missy then it is SHE who is being short-changed by not being given the (in this case) map at the same time as everyone else; who, may I remind you, have the luxury (yes luxury) of sight. I think it's reasonable to assume that the average person of average intelligence could understand that it would probably take a visually impaired person a little longer to master a map; even if you were brilliant (which Missy absolutely is.)

And I know teacher's are busy. And I know teacher's have families to attend to... I know, I get it, believe me; my Mom has been a teacher since I was in grade school myself. But, I also know that each one of Missy's teacher's agreed to have Missy in their class. And, unless they are extremely far left on the bell curve of intelligence, I would venture to say that they too would agree that more time ought be given for Missy to learn a map (setting aside the extra time it takes for me to produce the necessary documents.)

I'm miffed. It seems so unfair.

But Missy will deal, just like she always does. And you know what? She'll probably get the high score in the class too. :)

I do because I can't not do...

Scorpio (Oct. 24-Nov. 21): The time you take

to nurture another person is rewarding.

But you'll likely never know the effect you have.

I don't need the specifics;

although, they might be nice.

Dontcha Just Love...

Love?
Constantly surprises and delights (unless it's one of THOSE days)
I adore days like today when my reflections on my Love offers up magic, for lack of a better term.

My Man's on a secret mission-- can't wait to find out the surprise!! WEE

Folie Deuce on Friday.

Henry Rollins on Saturday.

Life is good.

I Heart Bruce?

I am in a constant love-hate-love battle with the one known as The Boss. I have given into the fact that when I hear his music (older) I can't help but love it. But, I have been able to hold that while I enjoy his music "I still hate that guy" (I say this to M all the time when he feels it necessary to point out my seeming love for The Boss.) Which brings me to now. Well, the Super Bowl half time show...

Confession Time:

Could it be? Am I... attracted to that old man from New Jersey? I think so. Perhaps it's something about his oversized soul-patch? Hmmmm......
