empty elevators & the people who ride them

~'All the world is green' by tom waits. this song is quite possibly perfect: lamenting, romantic, brilliant lyrics, hopeful. this is one of those if i was in a relationship, this would be our song songs, but it's also intensely personal so i'm not sure i'd want to share its meaning. but it's DEFINITELY a care to dance? song.
i mean, look, this song is so good it almost brings me to climax just by filling my ear-space. i hit replay and sway as i'm doing the dishes.

~Bleu- i know, i refer to this movie all the good goddamned time, but it runs so many themes and messages and emotions yet somehow manages to keep it all contained in such a lovely photographed packaged. i recently watched it again and it struck me that you can be with someone, really with them - married, joking, fucking, looking, working, loving, fighting, driving, eating, caring, supporting- and still feel so absolutely abandoned.

~ “Feed on her damask cheek: she pined in thought, And with a green and yellow melancholy She sat like patience on a monument, Smiling at grief." W. Shakespeare. as with most things that are worth anything, i've spent a lot of time with this quote. it's just…pretty.

hi gang. i don't anticipate making an entry this weekend so i thought i'd just drop a quick line or so. i'm going on nite 2 without sleep. no reason in particular except that the old noggin's been working overtime.

here's what happens when the ruler of deeannland doesn't get sleep:

*i find a collection of typos and grammatical errors totalling 7 in a hefty three-sentence construction

*i make a completely off-the-wall (but hilarious nonetheless) remark regarding a co-worker's rambunctious children & maybe something to do with ny-quil & the silent game. not for naught; the super quiet guy in the far corner let out a raucous howl thus piquing my interest. 

*in an attempt to compose a tale around the terms 'black-bearded papa' & 'lemon jade' i instead come up with two ideas for new TV shows:
'Marilyn Manson Dinner Theatre' & 'The Last Amputee Standing'.


enjoy your weekend, pals. you've been good to me. cheers and leers of the foxy-persuasion may they come your way and stay.
