I can't stand the rain

I'm a little ashamed to admit this is the first time I have heard the original version of this song. I know it best from The Commitments.

But it gave me the shivers. I need to brush up on my R&B. Seriously.

Yeah, really cool

Holy shite, your heroine is on the YouTube!
My life is now worth something.

The Dulcinea is Dead

Long Live The Dulcinea!

Yep, Spring time is just around the corner, literally, I feel it licking at me. Unpleasantly. I find the riot of light in spring has a deleterious effect onmy ability to deal with both the inner and outer world.

But after the first rage of LIGHT and GREEN there is a calm, when trees have leaved and birds bred, and I can peek my head up from under the layers of winter hermitage and be a part of the outside world again.

The shades remain drawn, but the windows are open, and the air...the air is SO SWEET. Workmen across the street (one who peppers each sentence with 'fuck' as other people might say 'um') are intermittently making a great deal of noise, and then seeming to disappear, suddenly.

The melancholy Netflix selections (Human Nature, Winter Passing) are just perfect for my not-quite-ready-for-the-world mood today.

I'm trying out new philosophies, ways of thinking of myself my life. "Each day it's own day" is what just occurred to me. Yesterday does not have to be today, and today is not yesterday.

The Dulcinea is Dead, Long Live The Dulcinea!

I was commanded by anonymous to post

Well, here it is!

Sick in bed, miserable, and angry about being too ill to bake Valentine's Day cookies.

And Hastings, I owe you an email!

Nothing.

Seriously, there is nothing going on in my life right now. Besides the regular things (school, fam, boyfriend). It's fairly mellow. Downright dull.

And was pointed out to me by one of my three MySpace friends (after I'd bailed from MySpace after a month or so), I have social networking fatigue. I DO! I'm sick of blogging into the ether with little return.

That reminds me. Since I've got nothing going on, and I know you are reading this, why not comment here and let me know what's up with you? That'd be keen.

Fugees and Funyuns

I need to LAUGH today.

Here's to hoping Hot Rod is way funnier than Talladega Nights.

I keep forgetting to put the Zack Galafinakis DVD onto my Netflix queue, but have rectified that situation this morning.

I can't be the only one

...who walked out of Sweeny Todd really wanting a meat pie.
