no hope

Yesterday was Monday.
Nothing more really needs to be said, I suppose.

I wanted nothing more to do than to go to bed early but instead, karaoke. Sang "Susudio" and "Disarm", two ditties I've never actually done before. Got very little sleep, anyway, and a sweet offer of the boy to drive me to work was tempered by the fact that he was not really in a condition to drive. But, we're all safe and sound now, I think. Tonight we sleep apart.

Do you remember the first time you ever heard "Happiness is a Warm Gun" ?

I do.

I'd just gotten the White Album, sophomore year of college, very very exciting, and you know, it's kind of hit or miss, and I wasn't really impressed till I heard that song. I don't know exactly what it was - maybe it was just weird enough to delight me rather than alienate me - but I fell madly in love. And every time I hear it, I still feel a little bit of that glow.

Weirdly enough, the first time I heard it was with the Breeders' cover, then I heard the Tori Amos' cover, and finally I heard the Beatles' original.

I still prefer the Breeders' version overall, but I think that has more to do with the fact that it's what I associate as the 'original' song, even though I know otherwise and I do really enjoy the Beatles' song.

Covers can be strange things.
