Some of the best music I've heard in a long, long, long, long, long, long time.

Merry Christmas

"Again the Ghost sped on, above the black and heaving sea -- on, on -- until, being far away, as he told Scrooge, from any shore, they lighted on a ship. They stood beside the helmsman at the wheel, the look-out in the bow, the officers who had the watch; dark, ghostly figures in their several stations; but every man among them hummed a Christmas tune, or had a Christmas thought, or spoke below his breath to his companion of some bygone Christmas Day, with homeward hopes belonging to it. And every man on board, waking or sleeping, good or bad, had had a kinder word for another on that day than on any day in the year; and had shared to some extent in its festivities; and had remembered those he cared for at a distance, and had known that they delighted to remember him."
-Charles Dickes, A Christmas Carol

I want another tattoo.

I want to be strong; I want to laugh along.
I want to belong to the living.
Alive, alive, I want to get up and jive-
I want to wreck my stockings in some juke box dive.
Do you want, do you want, do you want
To dance with me?

and this

I mean, sheesh.
The acting is just really REALLY good. And the characters are so well developed throughout the show. I think maybe I just like it this much because it's almost 7am and I haven't slept.

But the fact that it's excellent is probably at least part of it.

There was some really, really creative and brilliant work on the L word in its earlier days. I mean, she KILLED that.

yeah, well.

Yes, I got a B- in BALLET.
Not half bad for mostly not going, though.

It's still Dean's List worthy.

It had to be.

Do you feel a certain sense of synergy between yourself and me?
A kind of macabre and somber,
wonder twin type of harmony.
