Dear RAYMOND,
Mysterious influences are at work, RAYMOND, and it may pay you to take special note of your dreams as they could contain some very important messages. Whatever feelings come to you concerning any new situations you are moving into, trust them and trust your own judgment. The females in your life may also be able to provide insights and perspectives relating to a problem over which you have spent much time in deep thought.

I can't believe my horoscope used the phrase "the females in your life". I absolutely fcking love it.

I'm supposed to write more here. I want to write more. But I arrived at work late, and I didn't get everything done yesterday, and I have this thing about getting a lot done on Friday mornings and early afternoon so I can be braindead on Friday afternoon but also I can not start off Monday morning being so far behind in the game. So Friday mornings are when my guilt about work suddenly gets joined with motivation, and things happen.

But I'd rather be writing here, especially since so many words and feelings are pouring out of my head and heart right now. Maybe it's good to hold on to them a bit more, keep them only for myself. I'm rarely selfish this way.

Listen to my heart, can you hear it sing?

In case you actually cared, here are the answers to yesterday's poll. I learned an important lesson. I'm a big esoteric nerd who should stop making polls. But I'll continue to put song lyrics in my subject lines that make absolute sense to me even if they aren't as transparent to others.



ANSWERS TO THE POLL:

And I could make you rue the day, but I could never make you stay.

Magnetic Fields

If you were mine, I'd never want to go to heaven.

Sade

If your radio is experiencing ANY kind of difficulty, turn the volume up.

Missy Elliot

How do I master the perfect day?

Bjork

If I should tell a lie, I cross my heart and hope to die....I hope we never die.

Everything But the Girl

Cause it's written on your body -- it's on the tip of your tongue

Jonatha Brooke

Bad dreams in the night -- you told me I was going to lose the fight.

Kate Bush

In life I know there's lots of grief, but your love is my relief.

Bob Marley

I'm full of foolish song.

Guys and Dolls

I love you for free and I'm not your mother.

Shakira

Baby, don't make no fast moves tonight.

Mos Def

Until after five years, if you live that long.

bjork

Never had sex that costed...fck so much I'm exhausted.

Trick Daddy

For the sake of momentum, even though I agree with that stuff about seizing the day.

Aimee Mann

And if there's any good about me, I'm the only one who knows.

White Stripes


The winner is limenal. Congratulations! Which is a combined testament to how well she remembers lyrics as well as her being subjected to many of these songs while we lived together. Of course, she only got three right, and most people got two right, which out of fifteen, are pretty horrible ratios, so I think that means the evaluation was too difficult. Oh well. I got them all right.

Myles, you've broken my heart because you won't be available when I'm in NYC. But since I know our love is eternal, I guess I can wait for you to come visit in the summer.

I told our Shakira story the other day! The one about the B96 people concertgoers yelling at her excitedly about being Puerto Rican!

I want Mos Def to be my baby daddy. Or I can be his. Whichever.
