no, I don't think I'll end it all today

This is the second time in two days iTunes has randomly and unprovoked offered up Tom Waits' "Train Song". It helps that the song is about being broke and hopeless and alone in the world and never going home again, but he could be singing about a Ferris-wheel ride with his first girlfriend and it wouldn't matter, because his voice is what seriously puts you in the mood to commit suicide. I mean, I spent the night walking along Hollywood beach with my parents and eating pizza on the broadwalk at sunset, getting ice cream on the way home, and stuffing my face with House fic since we got back, but even I'm starting to think a bottle of whiskey and a loaded gun is the next logical step. "Cherry Oh Baby" by UB40 was the song that followed. How did that even get in there?

[livejournal.com profile] silentfire has demanded requested photos from Tuesday's Morikami outing, but the dial-up is crushing my will to live, let alone upload pictures. So, tomorrow.

Some of these choices mean nothing to me (I've never eaten or even seen Frankenberry IRL! or Count Chocula! I'm culturally deprived), but I definitely feel you're a muffin. yes. Also, book! a three-decker, even. Or a good thick non-fiction paperback.

Or—OR—perhaps it is that the strangehold of American economic imperialism in the form of over-sugared, artificially-colored breakfast cereals has not yet tightened to the suffocating point around the entire globe? Can I still hope?

But, a muffin! You know, some days I even feel like a muffin. And I always feel like a book. These days I even have my nose buried in thick non-fiction, which I do wish was in paperback, as I like to read in uncomforable positions and I don't think my arms or neck will ever be the same again.

Hi, kissing boys! Hiiiiiiiii! *pulls up a chair and stares for a while*

. . .

Sorry, was there actual content to your comment? :-p I checked out all your new icons, by the way, and they rock! I especially love your World's Finest: TNG as it is AWESOME. I kept looking at punk!Constantine, trying to figure out what bothered me about him, until I realized that between his skin color, the shadows on his face, and the ripped clothing, he looks more like zombie!Constantine, freshly risen.

Ahaha, your answers are awesome! And totally correct! Where are the other ten advil omg.

I asked! nicely! the epitome of politeness!

Aww, you totally did. And I am working on it! Right now I am selecting, cropping, resizing, and touching up, and then I will begin the uploading PROCESS.
