Life

The lifelong insomnia continues......my doctor and therapist both dropped the ball on getting my prescription for my sleeping meds to me, so here I am, up randomly in the middle of the night. I'm bored out of my mind, and no one I really want to talk to is even awake. Sadly, I record here the passing of Abigail Crab, one of the new members of our crustacean family....she was found last night, sans shell. However, Dot, Ed, and Camille have all molted, and are doing well, and Hannibal and Arwen III seem to be adjusting comfortably. So here's to healthy crabs!

Weird Sunday

I think I have a sinus infection, and I'm so fucking nauseous.....I don't know what to do. On top of hot flashes and cramps, I feel like hell. My mother, however, has come up with a nighttime project: a Valkyrie themed calendar. Getting to it......

Office Space

This is Claus von Stauffenberg's office at the Bendlerblock as it appears today.

In Honor of Matthew Shepard

We've come a long way.......but not far enough.

Showers of your crimson blood
Seep into a nation, calling up a flood
Of narrow minds, who legislate
Thinly veiled intolerance
Bigotry and hate

But they tortured and burned you
They beat you and they tied you
They left you cold and breathing
For love they crucified you

I can't forget, hard as I try
This silhouette against the sky
Scarecrow crying
Waiting to die, wondering why?
Scarecrow trying
Angels will hold, carry your soul away

This was our brother, this was our son
This shepherd young and mild, this unassuming one
We all gasp this, can't happen here
We're all much too civilized
Where can these monsters hide?

But they are knocking on our front door
They're rocking in our cradles
They're preaching in our churches
And eating at our tables

I can't forget hard as I try
This silhouette against the sky
Scarecrow crying
Waiting to die, wondering why?
Scarecrow trying
Angels will hold carry your soul away

I search my soul
My heart and in my mind
To try and find forgiveness
This is someone child
With pain unreconciled
Filled up with father's hate, mother's neglect
I can forgive but I will not forget

Scarecrow crying
Waitin' to die, wondering why?
Scarecrow trying

Rising above all in the name of love
Love, love, love
Rising above all in the name of love
Love, love, love
Rising above all in the name of love
Love, love, love
...

Really Romantic Song

"Say Goodbye"

So here we are tonight
You and me together
The storm outside, the fire is bright
And in your eyes I see
What's on my mind
You've got me wild
Turned around inside
And then desire, see, is creeping
Up heavy inside here
And know you feel the same way
I do now
Now let's make this an evening
Lovers for a night, lovers for tonight
Stay here with me, love, tonight
Just for an evening
When we make
Our passion pictures
You and me twist up
Secret creatures
And we'll stay here
Tomorrow go back to being friends

Go back to being friends
But tonight let's be lovers,
We kiss and sweat
We'll turn this better thing
To the best
Of all we can offer, Just a rogue kiss
Tangled tongues and lips,
See me this way
I'm turning and turning for you
Girl just tonight

Float away here with me
An evening just wait and see
But tomorrow go back to your man
I'm back to my world
And we're back to being friends
Wait and see me,
Tonight let's do this thing
All we are is wasting hours until the sun comes up it's all ours
On our way here
Tomorrow go back to being friends

Go back to being friends
Tonight let's be lovers, say you will
And hear me call, soft-spoken whispering love
A thing or two I have to say here
Tonight let's go all the way then
Love I'll see you,
Just for this evening
Let's strip down, trip out at this
One evening starts with a kiss
Run away

And tomorrow
back to being friends
Lovers...love...lovers
Just for tonight, one night...love you
And tomorrow say goodbye

Boehner's Greatest Hits

Saw this on Facebook, and thought it was hilarious. Unfortunately, I happen to live in his congressional district. Gotta love gerrymandering, sneaky asshole politicians! Not to mention my idiot neighbors who vote them in. Boehner is about as useless as they come, and a great reminder of all that is wrong with Congress.
