Listening to: Fiona Apple. I want her voice. I love the depth of it.

It's summer time and the living is easy....
I've never met a girl like you before....
Rise up gather round, rock this place to the ground, burning up, let's go for broke, watch the night go up in smoke, rock on....
Drive fast speed turns me on, she put her hand on my knee, I put my foot on the gas, we took off so fast, almost got whiplash...
I'm going to witchita, far from this opera forevermore....

err...these would be the fragments of songs which have been going through my brain and coming out on my tongue for weeks now. What's the deal? It's sort of fun to get obsessed with music. Obsession in general can be kind of fun too. Specific obsessions are no fun though...

I had another stellar day yesterday. Worked. At work, I started working on a sign for my circle and am v. pleased with how it's going. I also am reading a kick ass, gorgeous book by Doris Lessing who is my new hero. Love, Again. It's sensual, emotive, intense, and the right kind of reading for a wild summer. Then, I went to Charlie and the Chocolate Factory at Van East with a new friend. We went to my place afterwards, had tea and a general pleasant time together. Then later: I slept well.

Don't you just love Hemmingway?

I'm looking forward to going to the Gathering this year. I'm going to have a total blast even if I will have to remind myself to be a *little* careful.

All in all, the sun is shining and the water is wet, the heat is hot...
