the four right chords can make me cry

to my dear blog readers:
my absence was probably not missed
but sorry, anyway
was too tired and uninspired
to let you know i was still alive
and not narcissistic enough
to think that it mattered

things have been wildly erratic, intensely good and immensely bad. which somehow cancel each other out, but not completely. I smile and sigh at the same time. smigh.

thank you, wonderful friends, who have been feeding me with music!
pema, its so cool that we like the same kind of music! thank you for lending me the cd, its really good =)
chels, i love the cd you burnt for me, and the card. I'm sorry i've been incommunicado the past few days. But! will see you tuesday =) looking forward to that!
jianming, fiona apple is fantastic! and thanks for introducing me to rachael yamagata! i was so amazed that you remembered =) the first thing i did when i got home was to pop it into my computer. you are right, its all good.
and serene again, the yellow submarine is still awesome =) muaks. see you saturday, should we do dinner?

i think i have enough music to last me through the next semester. I like to listen to the same few songs over and over again when i'm in the mood and let them sink in. and now i have at least 7 cds worth of songs to ruminate! hoot!

5 weird things about becky
1. I can smigh. (no, i will NOT do a demo)
2. I can do "the people's eyebrow" ala the rock. but only on one side.
3. I talk baby talk to my dog and bestow him with multiple names.
4. I am an extremely gifted sleeper. I can sleep under almost any conditions and for indefinitely long periods of time. The tricky part is staying awake.
5. I think i'm weird. But I don't think i'm weird. Weird.

ok, I tag Timomo, Benben, Mandy, Cherie, and Enai. Enai, must be weird things that I don't already know ok?

ok, I leave you with Fiona Apple

Days like this, I don’t know what to do with myself.
All day - and all night.
I wander the halls along the walls and under my breath.
I say to myself.
I need fuel - to take flight -

And there’s too much going on.
But it’s calm under the waves, in the blue of my oblivion.
Under the waves in the blue of my oblivion.

Is that why they call me a sullen girl - sullen girl.
The don’t know I used to sail the deep and tranquil sea.
But he washed me ashore and he took my pearl -
And left an empty shell of me.

And there’s too much going on.
But it’s calm under the waves, in the blue of my oblivion.
Under the waves in the blue of my oblivion.
Under the waves in the blue of my oblivion.
It’s calm under the waves in the blue of my oblivion.
