I really don't think Prince was really that bi. More pansexual in vibe, and horndog straight in actual sexuality. It's just that songs like "Head" seem so all purpose. Plus there was the line about wishing he was his lover's girlfriend.
No. And yes. It's always sudden.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
Plus the line about his girlfriend's other boyfriend sleeping in between the two of them.
OK, that's not necessarily bi, but still a great line.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

But that's such a different vibe! I mean, listen to the freaking song, people!!
I just read this piece in Salon that made me want to try cooking with more obscure grains, like quinoa, spelt, and mesquite.
I love quinoa. It's easy and delicious. And also the super grain of the future, if you believe the packaging.
So, I decided if I'm not going to cook (and I'm apparently not), I should start going to more of the little restaurants/take out places in my hood. Tonight I went into this new Brazilian place where they were super happy to see me and didn't have twelve cents in the register. Paper money, but no change. Ah well.

It's true! He wanted the emotional intimacy of a girl to girl friendship! Plus also to wear the panties every once in a while.

Prince is Prince. He is like unto Jack Sparrow, in that he is Prince-sexual, and all others are mere pleasant diversions.
At least, in my head.
This is how I've always thought of Prince. Does this mean I live in juliana's head? 'Cos if so, neat!

I don't think so, otherwise there'd be petticoats leaking out of her nose.

DH just made a casserole with quinoa last week.
by the way, pronounced keen-WAH, not qwen-NO-ah, as I and a waiter got into a little pronounciation flounce. Meara was there!

I mean, help you pick out your clothes before we go out.
Not that you're helpless, but sometimes, sometimes those are the things that being in love's about.
It's so great, because it's about dropping the pretense, you know? You don't need to just show up all "done" any more.

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

As opposed to the water that damn near hit my monitor after reading that.
But I would not object to sharing the brain with Jilli, as long as she doesn't mind a little sawdust in the corners.

Which reminds me that it's been a while since I had that wonderful spongey teff bread from the Ethiopean restaurant in Central Square.
I wonder if they deliver....
