For folks in Baltimore City/Towson...

I just got a notice by email. Waldenbooks in the Gallery at the Harbor is closing on January 25th. Right now they're offering 40% off the list price of everything in the store, with the exception of magazines, gift cards/certificates and electronic items. It's a small store, so their selection isn't spectacular to begin with, but if you're in the area, it can't hurt to check it out.

edit: just got another email...Additionally, the Waldenbooks in Towson Town Center (it's on the first floor) will be closing on the same day. Same sale is going on.

I have somehow injured my hand...I realized a couple of hours ago that it was sore, and I looked down and there's a bruise right where my thumb rests when I make a fist. It's a little puffy in that spot too. I know it wasn't there earlier today and have no idea where it came from, all I can think of was that I either gripped something really hard, or leaned on something, but either way, I would have had to put some force behind it to create a bruise. It's about an inch long and about half an inch wide.


Completely unrelated, in the last few months, and especially since early/mid December, I've noticed that my perpetual feeling of *something* significant being about to happen in my life, a feeling that I've been carrying around with me on a nearly constant basis since...hmm...1999? 2000? something like that, has pretty much dissipated. That was about the time that I found out that there was actually a word for that- presque vu, related to deja vu. Guess it was just waiting for me to discover the word? :-P

There's a lot that I've been internalizing for a while now, largely because I'm just having the worst time organizing my thoughts to write them down- I know I've said it a million times but I think I have it in my head that if I keep saying that, it'll somehow jar my brain into functioning in the way I want it to.

I love this song. It's kinda jangly, a little nonsensical, but damn, listening to it makes me happy. Oh...and Jakob Dylan sngs it. As far as I'm concerned, that's all I need to know.

I need a bed
That nobody’s slept in
I need some air
Nobody’s been breathing
I need a thought
That I can believe in
Is this fog
Or is the building really burning
I need you
Much more than ever
I’m making new friends
But none of them matter
Maybe now
We don’t fit together
But you’ve got your arms around
No one but strangers

I feel fine
With the sun in my eyes
The wind in my hair
When I’m falling out of this sky
I’m doing better than I thought I would
But nothing’s ever as good
As when you’re on top

I want to wake up
And just start running
Into a ditch
Or straight up a mountain
I want to get
Where no one been gettin’
Make it deeper than hell
Or make it higher than heaven

I need someone whose price hasn’t been met
When everybody’s disappearing
By the minute
There isn’t anyone left
I haven’t meet yet
Well I remember
When they hadn’t gotten to you yet


I feel fine
With the sun in my eyes
The wind in my hair
When I’m falling out of this sky
I’m doing better than I thought I would
But nothing’s ever as good
As when you’re on top

Half way up
And over this rainbow
I heard a shot
Fire up from a ghetto
As I drop
I didn’t think you’d follow
Just didn’t know
The sky was this shallow

I need a garden
Where nothing’s forbidden
I need an apple
That no one’s been eatin’
I want to start again
Back at the beginnin’
I had a vision
That this feeling maybe has an ending

I feel fine
With the sun in my eyes
The wind in my hair
When I’m falling out of this sky
I’m doing better than I thought I would
But nothing’s ever as good
As when you’re on top
