since my last cigarette. The cravings are more manageable, although I could really use a smoke right now. Will run twice as hard tonight and remind my lungs why I quit.
I’m Into Something Good
(Herman’s Hermits cover)
The Bird and The Bee
♬ Woke up this morning feeling fine, there’s something special on my mind. Last night I met a new boy in the neighbourhood. Something tells me I’m into something good. ♬

Folding Chair
Regina Spektor
♬ Maybe one day you’ll understand that I want nothing from you but to sweetly hold your hand. ‘Till that day just please don’t be so down, don’t make frowns, you silly clown. Just come and open up your folding chair next to me. My feet are buried in the sand and there’s a breeze. There’s a shadow, you can’t see my eyes. And the waves are just a frothier version of the skies. ♬
It’s a Far kind of day. This is one of my favorite songs from one of my favorite albums of all time.

We All Fall In Love Sometimes
(Elton John cover)
Jeff Buckley
♬ For heavy eyes could hardly hold us, aching legs that often told us it’s all worth it. We all fall in love sometimes. ♬
Recorded on October 11, 1992 for WFMU’s “The Music Faucet”.

Can’t Go Back Now
The Weepies
♬ I can’t really say why everybody wishes they were somewhere else, but in the end the only steps that matter are the ones you take all by yourself. And you and me walk on ‘cause you can’t go back now. ♬

Words
There are certain words I have visceral reactions to, words that when spoken or read, call out to me and grab me, words that my body just instinctively responds to, like solace, desolate, melancholy, nostalgia, forget, fumbling (specifically the present participle form, nothing else), languid, shiver, soothe, infinite, fragile. I’d include free cameras but who doesn’t respond to that. I also respond strongly to the words cigarette and bunnies, preferably not in the same sentence and even though I can’t have any more of either. I’m sure there’s more but I can’t remember right now. Do you have any? What are yours?
(Loving the replies to this! Thanks, guys. Fall and ache make my list, too. Mango and quantum eraser tickled quite a bit.)
My Love

♬ Hey boy, won’t you take me out tonight. I’m not afraid of all the reasons why we shouldn’t try. ♬

I Found A Reason
(Velvet Underground cover)
Cat Power
(via divine-decadence)
♬ I do believe in all the things you say. What comes is better than what came before. And you’d better run, run, run, run to me. ♬

I climbed a massive dead coral formation (i.e. very sharp rocks) in jeans and flip-flops for this view. I took this quick iPhone photo for myself, shot my entire last set within the 10 minutes of glorious, glorious light, then just stood there, in awe, wishing I was there on my own time. Must go back soon.
