It's a day...

And that's about all I can say about it. ;-)

Wait! There's good stuff! If you haven't been reading scot_ty's fic My Brother's Keeper, well, first of all shame on you. Second of all, the latest section is up and Oh. My. God. Make sure you're strapped into your chair and there's a bottle of water and a towel handy before you start reading. Absolutely melted my brain. Just...no words. Go read!

I missed the Senorita launch the other day. Does TRL have an earlier start time in the summer? I'm so out of touch. Anyway, I was sitting in front of the computer, watching the clock, ready to high-tail it for the TV at three, when I started seeing "OMG! I love Senorita!" WTF??? So, if you're a goober like me and somehow missed the premiere, Yahoo's Launch site has La Timberlake in all his slouchy-pantsed, call-and-response glory.

I've got dial-up which is a little sucky for video streaming, but better than not seeing it at all. At least I've got an idea what it looks like now. I liiiiiike it. :-)

Senorita's one of my four faves from the album: CMR, LILY, Last Night, and this one. The video looks like fun, and I can't wait to see Justin thrustin' and doin' his thang on my TV screen. I *really* can't wait to see JC doing the same, but I digress.

JC. ::happy sigh::

JC's going to be on the Tom Green show! I can't stand Tom Green, but yay! JC! On July 28th. That man is going to kill me. Do you hear me? I won't possibly last through the promo. And then the tour! If JC doesn't come close to my town...I don't know what I'll do. Be severely disappointed, for one. And then start checking into the closest show I *can* attend. I'm thinking happy JC-in-my-town thoughts.

Newsflash in case you didn't know: I [heart] JC.

Lyrics I Love. #1

I love words. I love the history of words, and how they came to be, and how they're strung together to voice our thoughts to others. It amazes me, listening to other languages as well as my own, that mankind has the capacity to process so many different sounds to mean so many different things. Meaningful vocalization. You gotta love it.

I had a habit in my Lit classes, of underlining bits and snippets of sentences that I loved or found interesting. I might even underline a single word, just one thing that stood out and caught my attention. I used an ultra-thin orange pen, because - and the English majors will know what I'm talking about - those Norton anthologies? Pages like rice paper, dude.

Anyway.

So. I mentioned this in my one hundred things meme:

29) I love "Learning to Fly" by Pink Floyd. Also "Comfortably Numb." Wrote a story for lit class based on that song.

I'm a freak about flying. It terrifies me in ways I can't begin to relate. I love these lyrics because for just a few minutes, I can relate. I see planes overhead and like structured language, I'm amazed at what humans can do. We can defy gravity to get us to the places we need to go. It freaks me out, but it's pretty damn amazing. We can friggin' fly.

I'm feeling inexplicably random, and as a result, I'm going to randomly ramble here in my little space and invite you along for the ride.

God, I love this song.

( Let's learn to fly. )
