get to see her today- love having one of my favorite friends in town so much more
I made one of my best purchases of the year this week. The Swell Season’s “Strict Joy”
Fantasy Man you are always one step ahead of me
Well I never heard the warning
I haven’t got things right
Yet the sun came out this morning
And filled my room with light
So go on now, you are forgiven
Let’s put it down to life
The story of two lovers
Who danced both edges of the knife
In the station you’re standing
Not knowing what you want
And the secrets we’re defending
Have become our only bond
Just be patient while I wait here
Our journey is out of sync
While you’re out there running in the chaos
I need some time to think.
it’s pretty insane that i don’t have a passport. i’ve travelled the US a few times over, but have only set foot in Ontario outside our borders and that hardly counts as foreign. there was some international convention in Chicago over the weekend, and we had countless people from every country you could think of in thru the bar. spending 6-8 hours nightly for 5 nights with Australians, Irish, Italians, Argentinians, Japanese, etc made me ache for all that i haven’t seen yet. i’m applying for a passport this week.
nationally speaking, i’ll be making appearances in Indianapolis, Los Angeles, New York City and Las Vegas over the next 6 weeks. the last two weeks of the year will be spent split between Chicago/Indianapolis, and finally NYC, my new permanent residence, at last.
hope to see you when i see you.
