Do you ever feel so in awe by an artist, of how the melody of a song is perfect, the words are perfect and their voice is perfect that it makes you feel safe, inspired, warm, impressed, touched, longing, aching and just amazed all at once?
Could it be the weather? |

The Shadow Walk with me awhile I've got something to say to you or ask you I don't know It's been a long day If the dove falls in the sea Never bringing us a leaf Will you come into the shadow with me Will you follow me under If I wash up on the beach And i've lost all memory Will you come into the shadow with me Will you follow me under If I decide to bring it all down Will you stay and help me figure it out Will you come into the shadow with me Will you follow me under Walk awhile with me I've got something to say to you or ask you Will you come into the shadow with me Will you follow me under I know it stinks Spinning on my fingertips

So I arrived here in St Albans on Monday, yaaay. My mom came with me (a luggage thing, grmbl! too much luggage!), and I brought her back to the airport today. So now I am here chilling out while my roomie is at work. Had to make some poo calls (formalities) but am settling in quite nicely! Although I think that's because I don't have to work yet ;)
Saw Rilo Kiley here Monday evening, that was pretty amazing! The venue was small and cosy, the sound was good & the view was excellent 'cause we stood at the front of the balcony. I got the new CD at their gig as well, it's very different from their older stuff but cool, either way -- they played lots of it live and it rocked! Great vibe :D Go listen on their MS: http://www.myspace.com/rilokiley

Feeling radical in Cotton
Purified in my Satin
But the bomb of the season
is a Velvet Revolution
I look at the sky
and feel the tears of the
Prophets crying
I look at the sky
and feel the rain
the rain of tears
All you killers of the children
there's a new Commandment
the true Divine Creator wants a
Velvet Revolution |

So... Just a little rant I need to get off my chest despite all the good stuff that's going on for me at the moment...
I read on the boards that Tanya's playing a show with her (half) sister Kristin Hersh in Cambridge. Fans are raving about the last time they did an event together, it's supposed to be pretty awesome... esp since Tanya hardly ever plays lately, and a shared bill is very rare for these two ladies. PLUS of course it'd be amazing to see Boston and the area there!
Well anyway, that idea was shot to hell when I saw the flight prices to Boston. Now if it were holidays and I actually had money... but a weekend, for a show, that's just not doable :P
ETA:
[quote]
as far as i understand there are two shows.
each one has a solo tanya set, a solo kristin set, and a set together.

Together! Maaaiiiiieuh! :P |

 | You scored as Cultural Creative, Cultural Creatives are probably the newest group to enter this realm. You are a modern thinker who tends to shy away from organized religion but still feels as if there is something greater than ourselves. You are very spiritual, even if you are not religious. Life has a meaning outside of the rational.

So I just finished the latest in my book-reading phase (a.k.a. holidays).
www.calamityphysics.com/main.htm
I had it lying around for a while after I read the introduction, deciding it was too thick and that I'd rather read some shorter stories instead ;) Now I've researched a bit, wanted to know what people thought of the story etc cause some things are still a bit obscure and it seems I'm all behind on its popularity. That might've made me start sooner lol - it's funny how that always happens *after* I read a book!
Anyway -- it was complicated what with all the references and subclauses etc but good, needless to say I suppose!
I've also finished A Spot of Bother and The Curious Incident... by Mark Haddon, the Five Ppl You Meet in Heaven by Mitch Albom and Candide (of het optimisme) by Voltaire which was random but fun!
I would recommend all those, cause I enjoyed all of them :) |

if I told you he was your brother
we could reminisce, then you would go about your day
if I said you ought to give him some of your water
you'd shake your canteen and walk away
the perception that divides you from him is a lie
for some reason you never asked why
this is not a black and white world
you can't afford to believe in your side
this is not a black and white world
to be alive I say that the colors must swirl
and I believe that maybe today
we will all get to appreciate
the beauty of gray
if I told you that she was your mother
we could analyze the situation and be gone
if I said you ought to give her some of your water
your eyes would light up like the dawn
look into your eyes
no daylight
new day now |

YAAAAY I GOT ACCEPTED!!!
After weeks of waiting for the test results, more weeks of waiting for an interview, and another 3 weeks of waiting for THOSE results... I can finally say I got my placement position! This is the position I really wanted, in the middle of London, in a big subtitling/translation company :D
This was a good opportunity to bring into practice what I'd seen on the Secret, so I've been visualizing this for weeks, imagining as though I'd had it and how I'd feel, and it worked! Even though my (usually) long patience was under heavy heavy pressure (lol), it paid off! :) :) :)
I can get started on the paperwork now. I'm planning to move mid-August! So much to do :D All awesome :) |

My hallucination, every drug that I
Need. I love you for your beauty. I love you
For the books you read. I watch you laze
In the sun, I watch your head come
Undone ; you smile ; the man and child with
Bee-stung lips where my tongue trips and
Curls and you kiss like a girl.
It frees me... frees me from the freeze.
And with the liberation everything's
Taken higher ; and every complication,
Another spark for the fire. You're nothing
More than eighteen but you are more than
You seem to be. You'll win me with pale
White hands and soft demands and ways
To set the days ablaze.
It frees me from the freeze...
You're like a favourite saint kept
Alive in prayer and paint. one looked a
Lot like you... saucer-eyed and stoned
And out of the blue. |

"I'm dreaming of love", she said - "I'm dreaming of love"
What do you think, what do you see?
She goes behind a veil
Head spinning...
Reste tranquille
Reste tranquille
They will never find you here, we'll keep you safe
Cause if I love you,
I have to get us out
She told me she'd been thinking of taking her own life
To save her
"I've been dreaming of love", she said, "but love never found me" |

I just wanted to post a little bit of a song:
And you wait
For the end or the girl or the song
Or the boy or the faith
Or the leader who won't bring you shame
And you wait and you wait
And you wait
This hungry life won't let you out whole
But you can change a thing or two
Before you go
This hungry life
Might not leave you with much
Kick up some dust
Earn someone's trust
Leave a few words behind you
If you must
Pick a good fight
And keep someone up all night
Change the story, change the story
And throw a hand up from the mud
