Buffista Music 4: Needs More Cowbell!
There's a lady plays her fav'rite records/On the jukebox ev'ry day/All day long she plays the same old songs/And she believes the things that they say/She sings along with all the saddest songs/And she believes the stories are real/She lets the music dictate the way that she feels.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
I just got back from the Leonard Cohen show in San Jose, which turns out to have been the last show of this tour.
IT WAS THE MOST FUCKING AWESOME SHOW I HAVE EVER BEEN TO.
ahem. I am very tired, so I am going to bed now, but expect more gushing in the morning.

2 seconds after the realization that the dark path I took as a shortcut is the path where a woman was raped a month ago and now become notoriously known as a place of sexual harassments, and it might not have been the brightest idea ever to walk there on my own hit me, QOTSA's "I Wanna Make it Witchu" started playing.
I couldn't help but laughing.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart

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