It's been a killer lately. I have the ability to sleep in today...let's hope it actually happens.
Vera Lynn – We’ll Meet Again
well, we had a good run, you guys.
"I passed by your garden, saw you with your flowers
The Magnolias, Camellias and Azaleas so sweet
And I stood there invisible in the panicking crowds
You looked so beautiful in the rising heat
I smell smoke, see little fires bursting on the lawns
People carry on regardless, listening to their hands
Great cracks appear in the pavement, the earth yawns
Bored and disgusted, to do us down"
-Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds, "Darker With The Day"

The Hold Steady – Sweet Part Of The City

I'm back in the sweet part of the states, you guys. I've missed Minnesota ever since we alighted for the territories, but it's just now dawning on me that I haven't lived here in almost a decade. That's hard to believe.
