Now, I can hold a note for a long time...actually I can hold a note forever. But eventually that's just noise. It's the change we're listening for. The note coming after, and the one after that. That's what makes it music.

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

Is there a general agreement about acceptable tones in NY Times Fashion and Style pieces that means this [link] is totally self-aware and not as creepy as it seems to my literal eyes?

That's from a few years back and, I think, was generally considered to be pretty creepy.

Although, NYTimes style pieces seem to have a problem with tone pretty often.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

The Modern Love columns are very personal and often somewhat creepy.

Woe to the fucking wicked.

I do not envy her the day that her son finds out about that essay.

And it strikes me as on the creepy side, too, ita !.

Because books.

Ewww. Also, why on earth did she name the poor kid Sarvis?

Yeah, Sarvis sounds like a villain in a sci-fi novel.

Roomie and I walked around the lake this afternoon (~3 miles). She had a groupon for Ben and Jerry's, but it turned out to be closed. So instead we had fish and chips, and then froyo. So much for the benefits of lake-walking. :)
