Plastic around your painted face The fruit is ripe for penetration
Thrusting!
Distress in your eye turns to concern and then your body shivers
Thrusting!
Wow. Can I just say how inexpressibly relieved I am to see on their tattoo page that, despite the name, none of the band appear to have duplicated my idea? Thank you, Mithras. {shudder}

I think this is one of the more useful epigrams to have memorized in certain circles.

Also, I'm not allowed to sleep, and it's not right outside her door, but when I lay me down and curl up on the kitchen floor to wait out the night, I feel just like Mr.Flay.

Oh my god! Oh my god! "Sacher torts" totally almost rhymes with "boxer shorts". Oh my god.

I dreamed of slitting my abdomen open and removing the the long damp lengths of red felt I found inside, all very calm and painless. "Does everybody have to set aside time to do this sort of thing," I wondered, "or am I overlooking an easier, more efficient way to get this stuff out of here?"

Just had a short and enigmatic phone interview with a very small classical music PR company. No idea what will come of it.
Boy, am I glad I have eustachian tubes.
I really wish I could blog about my job and my employer, but I don't think it would be ethical. It's too bad, 'cause I have plenty to say about it all.
I met K.'s whole family last night (some of them I knew already, of course, but this was the entire ruddy lot.) It was great, too -- every one of 'em knows how to turn an anecdote like billy-o (ha!) and they're all genial and teasing and raucous in a way that felt really damn gemutlich. Makes me miss my own droogs and relations, but I feel so good living here -- both my feet flat under me.
New Year's was bliss. Virgin pomegranate margarita and brie-burger and chocolate so bitter your tongue furls up. Three-person dictionary game with eye-buggingly convergent definitioning. Kickass company. The requisite midnight how's-your-father. And I slept! In my girl's bed! For two days running! Lord, I gotta do me some more of that.

One more night of work and then TWO! DAYS! OFF! And then possibly thirteen more days again. But possibly only six. Who knows? It's not in my mind. I get to boogie into the New Year with my girl in my arms.

She sat on the bed and we talked for a long time, and I told her about my family and our country house, and slowly became aware that she was staring at me, and something in her regard made me falter and fall silent... the last word I said, grotesquely unsuitable, was 'lepers', I remember: I had been describing how my mother knew about a leper colony somewhere near London. Lana smiled oddly at me, and said softly 'Go on -- Lepers --' and then slowly leaned across and kissed me on the mouth.

Early Resolutions
* Study for the GRE at least twice a week 'til I gotta take it in mid-February.
* Do my communist pot-belly workout three times a week. Or go swimming. Or take really long walks.
* Get out to the library more, now that I don't got the bookstore to feed my reading.
* Use the phrase "like billy-o" at least 22% more often.
* Cultivate old and new acquaintances. (God, I suck at this. And not out of shyness or indifference or any moral error. I just slack on finding time.)
* Either sleep or get up and do stuff. No more tossing and/or turning like a tosspot (and/or turnpot).
* Stop being a mealy-mouthed hypocrite.
* Be less self-absorbed and more compassionate.
* Work hard at school for the first time in my goddamn life.
* Eat more cheese.
* Play more music. I haven't been in any kind of group since Towson, and I miss it like daggers in the belly. Gotta find people. Gotta play.
* Look into getting a job that ain't graveyards.
* Write my girl a non-doggerel sestina.
* Spend less time on the #*$& internet.
