My love is like a powder keg
My love is like a powder keg in the corner of an empty warehouse
Somewhere just outside of town
About to burn down

My love is like a Cuban plane
My love is like a Cuban plane flying from Havana
Up the Florida coast to the 'Glades
Soviet made

Our love is like the border between Greece and Albania
Our love is like the border between Greece and Albania
Trucks loaded down with weapons
Crossing over every night
Moon yellow and bright
There is a shortage in the blood supply
But there is no shortage of blood
The way I feel about you baby can't explain it
You got the best of my love

alpha incipiens

the morning comes to a stuttering halt
the cool breeze that blows is somebody's fault
the summer heat tries to burn through
and i look over to warn you
but something's happening

the morning glories climb the wall
and you speak in a slow drawl
i'm trying to piece together what you're saying
but the birds are screeching, the hounds are baying
i don't remember there being any hounds around here

we lean back and we clink our glasses
raise the drinks to our thirsty mouths,
and thick as molasses
ice cold vodka eases in
as the low pressure system brings the breezes in
and they sashay and pirouette above you
the only thing i know is that i love you
and i'm holding on, yeah

-The Mountain Goats
a.k.a. everyone's favorite band

this is from the lobby that goes up to the observation tower at the de young museum. we did not have time to go through the entire museum.

luckily, we were able to knock out the guards, steal their uniforms, and make it through several rooms before the swat came in and brought us down.

click and follow for more pictures from the trip.

mearse?

i have not really listened to music in weeks..

because i have been living my auditory life in Alagaesia.

Alagaesia:

i think i can recommend listening to over 36 hours of narration about elves, dwarves, humans, urgels, riders, dragons and the rahzak. i am just not sure you will have any friends or loving partners when you try to talk about it.

also - because i am traveling today - i am reminded of my new passport photo. in it i look like i just escaped from either prison, the drunk tank, or a colony of lunatics thus ensuring ten more years of being hassled at international borders.
