I’d be lying if I didn’t say that I miss them all tonight…

Y'know, I love the Goo Goo Dolls, and I love tattoos, and yet I still wouldn't get a lyric line of theirs tattooed on my back. She is so going to regret that one in 15 years.

Timelies. I was woken up by the sound of my husband working out and watching The Simpsons. There are worse ways to wake up, I guess, but it's still too early.

Congrats to Hayden & Mrs. Hayden!

Happy Birthday, Kristin and Maria!

STOOPID commercial! People, you know the 99 ballons go on to CAUSE WORLD WAR THREE, right? In the song you've used for your valentine's day commercial?

Maybe it's the same ad execs that used that Zoom Zoom Zoom song in a car commercial while blithely ignoring that the auto execs might be amongst the first whiteys against the wall in its context?

The status is NOT quo.

Hi everyone! Thanks for all the birthday wishes!

Oo, and congrats to the Haydens! Wonderful news.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Zoom Zoom Zoom song in a car commercial while blithely ignoring that the auto execs might be amongst the first whiteys against the wall in its context?

It's just a general song about killing. No need to segregate by race. Historically it was mostly black on black that the song was about, in fact.

I drink coffee way too slowly -- it's always lovely to open a new bag, because it tastes so much better.

CONGRATULATIONS ON MINI HAYDEN'S ARRIVAL!!

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.

Babies and birthdays, yay! Congratulations to the Haydens! Happy Birthday to Maria and Kristin!

Coffee. Must make some.

Oops! I'd heard that it was specifically a song about rising up and offing the oppressive European colonial officials and robber baron types. Mea Culpa.

'we all walk this earth feeling we are frauds. The trick is to be grateful and hope the caper doesn't end any time soon"

Oh, it's no doubt the same ad execs who chose Iggy Pop's "Lust for Life" song -- which is about finding heroin in West Berlin -- for a sports car and a cruise line.

Most old capoeira music are songs of defiance (or worship), and defiance was often against their masters, true.

Sadly, the killing was only each other, so it was perverted. I'm letting the history of the songs muddy their intent, which is no more (and probably less) valid than your interpretation.
