I absolutely dislike Am i Hot or Not? because it’s obviously a very negative environment where only the very conventionally sexy are given any credit. Having said that, it’s been brought to my attention that my folk-idol Peter Mulvey has had his picture uploaded to that wretched website. It’s always been one of my favourite shots of him, and i encourage you all to go and give my favourite singer-songwriter a rating higher than 5 or 6 so that he won’t feel ugly if he ever goes to take a look. Or, maybe not all singer-songwriters have such fragile egos, but i’m not sure yet.

After i died in my dream, my friends could tell when i was near them even though they couldn’t see me. I could tell how well someone knew me by how much they reacted to my presence. I finally did manage to communicate with someone, but i don’t remember who it was. I wish i did.

I think i might kill myself while in Florida. I’ll be without my guitar (i can’t bring it on the flight as a carry-on, and as shitty as it as i still refuse to check it as luggage) and without a computer (visiting a lot of older relatives, no computers that i’m aware of [though i should bring some access numbers to *something* just in case] ). Sure, four days doesn’t sound like much, but you should’ve seen the blind panic i was in on Thanksgiving night when i got online and couldn’t access blogger. Not pretty.

Now that i know what “Brick” is really about i am having a lot of trouble listening to it. It has a totally different quality than the mourning behind Tori’s “Playboy Mommy” or the empowerment behind the regret in Ani’s “Lost Woman Song.” Ben Folds hasn’t got any sort of redemption in his song, which is an element in both of the other ones to a certain extent. It’s just the saddest thing i could ever hope to hear, and now that i finally own the disc it’s on i find myself skipping around it every time. That’ll teach me to wonder about the motivation behind a good sad song…
