'Day' is a vestigial mode of time measurement based on solar cycles. It's not applicable. I didn't get you anything.

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

For holidays, I say sleep when you want to sleep.

I'm trying to create a playlist that won't get me into trouble when unannounced tour groups or parents drop in at my summer job. For the most part, I'm going on the assumption that language content is more likely to be noticed than the message or story of a given song. That being said, should I preclude a song in which a man is telling a woman that he is wearing her pink feathered panties even though there is no foul language?

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

My answer to this is that both "Lola" and "Walk on the Wild Side" were Top 40 AM radio hits in the early 70's. Which supports your thesis that content is blinvisible, but language causes a ruckus.

I think the problem with this particular song is that it doesn't have a catchy chorus to distract from the other parts of the song. And it's kinda talky and easy to understand.

It's funny that you mentioned "Lola" because we had the students singing that song in a show a couple of years ago.

So come, my friends, be not afraid/We are so lightly here/It is in love that we are made; In love we disappear

Betsy, that sucks. Bastards.

In addition to the pawn shop list, check ebay for items matching the stolen goods.

Grr. Fuckers.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

move out and draw fire

Today was a good day. I bought a 70s Brit-punk tee that says "Make Sex Not War" and a cognitive dissonance bag (it's a black bag that says PINK BAG on it). And I passed a store called "Sport Kok." Sadly, it didn't turn out to be a jock strap boutique.

'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"

OOoh, the E-Bay (and Craig's List, as well) suggestion sounds good. At least it's something to do -- having been robbed before I know how painful it is even when you don't lose all that much in material things.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Those faux-sport kok vagina bojanglers!

(That might just be the bestest sentence I've ever written.)

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.

I go with sleeping.

This is what I did, which is why I am awake now. Also, Allyson, Kristen, and ita were all very mean to me in my dreams. I don't remember how or why, but Dream me still shakes my not so wee fists at them all.

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

I was not mean to you! It must have been a doppleganger.

Or you'd been a bad, bad girl.
