just, friday

May 18th: I break my year+long streak of not buying new albums.

(the last album I bought new)

i wasn't feeling so great yesterday. but penicillin and 10 hours of sleep come to the rescue again. even my swollen gum has been tamed. and nasal cavities are remarkably dry. this is the first time I've taken antibiotics in over 5 years.

"the only good thing I have in my life is you"
"what about that new TV?"
"oh yeah"

everybody wants to rule the world.

item one. Backlash. Still reading it, sort of. It's awfully depressing, though. I mean the 80s are gone forever but gah. Although I'm perversely delighted reading about the neocon women who are shocked and surprised that the environment they helped create is *gasp* unfriendly to women! Kind of like the gay Republicans, I guess. Anyway I've put it on hold till my life improves.

item two Angel. I just watched "I Will Remember You", which is the episode in which Angel turns human and then he and Buffy are happy till they realize they can't, of course, and anyway it's so awfully sad, not depressing though. Difference. And I'm sappified enough that I almost didn't puke during the scenes of the two of them eating ice cream in bed.

item three Cuts for Luck and Scars for Freedom. Listening to this album again today and I just died. So fucking gorgeous. I almost want to do that. Well, of course I have no ability whatsoever but, I could try, right?
