Can't even shout, Can't even cry. The Gentlemen are coming by. Looking in windows, knocking on doors. They need to take seven, and they might take yours. Can't call to mom, can't say a word. You're gonna die screaming but you won't be heard.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

The bass player really holds the band together, but in a non-flashy way. I have thought a lot about this.

In other news, I was thinking about 1/1/11, and realized I haven't paid my rent yet. Let this be a reminder to others!

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.

HAPPY NEW YEAR!

So far, 2011 has been filled with lots of sleep (I went to sleep well before midnight and slept until 6:30) and very cute cats. I approve.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Flying home! Off to the airport. See you on the flip side.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."

Yeah, well, I married a bass player and it worked out pretty well for me.
 
Of course I also am a bass player, so I don`t know what you can infer sexually for me. I also did not ever get tail because of playing bass in a band, but my context might be ever so slightly different than yours. The SO did get hit on even in that context, so maybe you`re right.
 
Anyway, yes, bassist absolutely holds the band together, good or bad.
 
I don`t know what to do with myself this morning. SO`s alarm went off despite no actual classes today. He`s still asleep, but of course I am up. It is bitter cold. -13. I stoked the fire and put on the kettle. I need to take it outside to thaw the birdbath, but it is so cold I don`t know if it`s worth it.
 
Usually by the time I emerge into the New Year, the Rose parade is on.

Ok, I can futz around for half an hour. Good morning! Is Noah excited about the Winter Classic? He can watch it in his Pens jersey. (Of which D. requests a photo, btw, he was very pleased to hear about it.) K. had to correct me over on Facebook on who was playing! Oops. I blame midnight. And the booze. But I can`t blame the booze on Facebook, `cause disapproving donors! Hee.
