impressive

i saw radiohead came out with a new disc, but i didn't pick it up.
i hung on to radiohead strong thru kid a, but purchased amnesiac by default, and almost as an afterthought.
i loved amnesiac, i played it quite often, but something changed.
i got mad at a friend once, because he hated kid a (his last stop) and remarked:
"radiohead is playing you like a fiddle"
i rejected the idea, naturally.
but soon enough it started to sink in, so i took amnesiac skeptically.
i couldn't figure out what the difference was, but here i have it broke down:
1. pablo honey was a mess
2. the bends was a freaking rock tour de force
3. ok computer was unlike anything ever heard before- the whole cd built towards such a subtle climax you missed it the first time thru
4. kid a was dazzling and dreamy and great to sleep to. in so many ways it came off as the anti-computer. a friend of mine demanded "Why isn't Thom Yorke screaming?" (I said, "We can't all be Jeff Buckley.")
5. amnesiac was intelligent, and moves with a current. suddenly that feeling of "radiohead is playing me a concerto" changes into "radiohead wants me to follow them somewhere." and i'm sure mr. Yorke has frequented his fair share of rabbit holes.
6. hail to the thief is largely forgotten among many people. it's nearly as hard to name off as pablo honey in large circles of quasi-radiohead fans, and those who like radiohead but profess to know so much more than they really do about the band because of the neo-hipster fascination infecting our youth like the clap.
7. in rainbows: i know nothing of it. i am intrigued. it has been some time since we heard from radiohead. i am 100% certain i will possess it soon, because its radiohead and i have to.

so there you are.

mdy

p.s. (you were definitely expecting this, yes?) i read this thru before i sent it and i tummy-laffed at the line "i'm sure mr. yorke has frequented his fair share of rabbit holes!" because it sounds really, terribly LAME and i said it. of course i would, it is something i would say. HA!

and also yes, i realize fully that i am babbling, forgive me it was a long night at work and i have no one to talk to.

all mine

i am now the .P.R.O.U.D. owner of a

Unsealed
On a porch a letter sat
Then you said i wanna leave it again
Once I saw her on a beach of weathered sand
And on the sand I wanna leave it again... yeah
On a weekend I wanna wish it all away yeah...
And they called and I said that I want what I said
And then I call out again
And the reason oughta leave her calm I know
I said i dont know whether
Im the boxer or the bag
Ah yeah ehh....
Can you see them
Out on the porch
But they dont wave
I see them round the front way yeah
And I know I dont want to stay...

Make me cry

Ooooh I see
I dont know theres something else
I wanna drum it all away
Oh I said I dont, I dont know whether Im a boxer or the bag
Ah yeah ehh....
Can you see them
Out on the porch
But they dont wave
I see them round the front way yeah
And I know I dont want to stay
I dont wanna stay

e.v.

what's up with random calls on my cell phone?

how do people get that number?

i never answer them, and they never leave messages....

it makes me a little paranoid...

.... here this is ...

the following was written on the back of a place mat a couple of nights ago:::



earlier tonight i described the puffin as being useless
looking back, i don't think that was quite fair
i am sure the puffin is very useful

i bet a puffin could win if it got in a fight with a cat, although
i am unsure what situation would a cat and a puffin be pitted against each other
unless it was over territory, and probably if the cat was owned by an eskimo




but you know- this truly is incorrect

puffins prefer a warm climate

long day at the office

period of recovery, and

i am tired of fried food...

but i work with it, so

i try not to judge.



my neck hurts...

thanks to miss amy
i got taken out for a drink
and
got to see a friend
and
got to enjoy some
.f.r.e.e.t.i.m.e.

i love ohio in the rain, but
no other time.

these past few days have been lovely!

i detest the sun, especially when i have to be in in

the sun makes me feel lazy and tired.
