1st birthdays...

today i went to my friend Barry's son's 1-year birthday party. it's funny because the kid has no clue what's going on, and really, it's all about celebrating the parents' survival of the first year...and the fact that the baby too survived unharmed. i couldn't decide between a baby gift for the kid, or champagne for his parents.

86753-oh-9

i heard this song tonight on the radio after taking a friend to the airport. i was instantly in 5th grade, mrs. endean's class, and jimmy graham was giving me shit about it. let me tell you, there was never a time i hated being called jenny more than when this song plagued me - and it seemed to stay popular for a long time...and at that age, the teasing was relentless. it's probably the worst on-hit-wonder ever, in my book.

the unforgiven :~: metallica

...what I've felt
what I've known
never shined through in what I've shown
never be
never see
won't see what might have been...
~~~~
though it's not my usual speed, i recently saw 'some kind of monster,' metallica's documentary of the making of St. Anger...and so i've been listening to them a bit. this is my favorite metallica song, off of the incredible Black Album.

In a Funny Way :~: Mercury Rev

...In the Autumn air
You can see her smile
But in a funny way
She reminds you of a child
In the Autumn air
You feel her soul unfold
And in a funny way
You feel your own explode...

goodbye


i'm always sad when i cover up the last part of paint in a room - it's kind of like saying goodbye to a segment of life, changing it up for something new - hopefully for the good.

painting memories


i got this jane's addiction shirt in 1991 at the first lollapolloza which i saw in cleveland, oh. at some point in the mid-90s, it became my painting shirt, along with these white shorts. they're kind of nostalgic to me now - i can look at the myriad of colors on them and remember where that color was, in which dwelling, who i was painting with, etc. they're nice memories...

saturn returns

"around 28 & 29, either your issues deal with you or you deal with them. all the stuff you haven't dealt with or the lessons not yet learned come at you in full force. let me tell you, Saturn hit me with its heavenly body and tied me up with its rings..."
---
this is an excerpt from an old letter i found from someone i once was in love with.

she had just started therapy in her 30th year, when, in astrology-speak, one's "saturn returns."

i liked the imagery of the last sentence. i remember that time for me, a few years after getting this letter, and indeed she summed it up beautifully.

but, now almost 34, i know better. this happens outside of the 30th year, too.

gardening at night


it occurs to me that this is a title to an REM song; however, i really just wanted to make the point that i love gardening at night. that said, i like the song too. it's actually on the first CD i ever purchased, Eponymous.
