I'm The Singer, I'm The Singer In The Band

Why is it you keep getting up in the morning?

Blood Like Caffeine

This poem is called Miles Away... from
here, one of my favorite places to go.

I want you and you are not here. I pause
in this garden, breathing the colour thought is
before language into still air. Even your name
is a pale ghost and, though I exhale it again
and again, it will not stay with me. Tonight
I make you up, imagine you, your movements clearer
than the words I have you say you said before.

Wherever you are now, inside my head you fix me
with a look, standing here whilst cool late light
dissolves into the earth. I have got your mouth wrong,
but still it smiles. I hold you closer, miles away,
inventing love, until the calls of nightjars
interrupt and turn what was to come, was certain,
into memory. The stars are filming us for no one.

~Carol Ann Duffy

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): The San Francisco 49ers football team recently endured one of its worst seasons ever. But as the losses piled up, head coach Mike Nolan continued to profess an optimism that seemed deluded to most observers. After an especially galling defeat in the team's 13th game, however, he finally confessed he was a little down. In response, *San Francisco Chronicle* sportswriter Ray Ratto exulted, "At least Mike Nolan isn't calling a chemical fire the Aurora Borealis anymore."
I bring this up, Capricorn, because in recent months you have now and then suffered from the reverse problem: It's like you've been gazing at the Aurora Borealis and theorizing it's a chemical fire. But this glitch in your attitude is now becoming untenable. Your pretty good luck is evolving into damn fine blessings. It's time to acknowledge the beautiful truths in all of their glory.

It's back. Go love it. Other people want you to love it too.

Margot_Dent gave me a
for my birthday. And that's why I <3 her.

Thank you for all the birthday wishes!! I am currently nibbling on four kinds of birthday cheesecake. Mmm.



People in Japan looove me. Happy Birthday to me, horray!

Margot_Dent and I are having a slumber party right now. There are gold plated vibrators and toffee. You wish you were here.

Blowing things up. It's about time.

Walking around downtown, I found this sign:

Dogs allowed.
Bare feet allowed.
The sun and the moon and the evening wind allowed.

I stole this from Margot_Dent.
