[Eeeeergh]<\/b>
\n
I had a wreck today. It was my fault; I spaced out and pulled out in front of someone. I think it’s my karmic payback for honking at some Sunday driver the other day. Oy. Phil seems to think the damage may be worse than I had originally thought, when I thought it was just a dent and a scratch and a messed-up fender. It still drives, which is good enough for me. When will this hellish semester be over?<\/p>\n
Here’s the song that was playing as I plowed into a gargantuan Durango. Phil bought this CD yesterday and I was listening to it for the first time in my car. It’s a good song, but I totally ruined my future associations with it. <\/p>\n
In the Aeroplane over the Sea
\n
By Neutral Milk Hotel<\/p>\n
What a beautiful face
\n
I have found in this place
\n
That is circling all round the sun
\n
What a beautiful dream
\n
That could flash on the screen
\n
In a blink of an eye and be gone from me
\n
Soft and sweet
\n
Let me hold it close and keep it here with me<\/p>\n
And one day we will die
\n
And our ashes will fly from the aeroplane over the sea
\n
But for now we are young
\n
Let us lay in the sun
\n
And count every beautiful thing we can see
\n
Love to be
\n
In the arms of all I’m keeping here with me<\/p>\n
Anna’s ghost all around
\n
Hear her voice as it’s rolling and ringing through me
\n
Soft and sweet
\n
How the notes all bend and reach above the trees <\/p>\n
Now how I remember you
\n
How I would push my fingers through
\n
Your mouth to make those muscles move
\n
That made your voice so smooth and sweet
\n
And now we keep where we don’t know
\n
All secrets sleep in winter clothes
\n
With one you loved so long ago
\n
Now he don’t even know his name <\/p>\n
What a beautiful face
\n
I have found in this place
\n
That is circling all round the sun
\n
And when we meet on a cloud
\n
I’ll be laughing out loud
\n
I’ll be laughing with everyone I see
\n
Can’t believe how strange it is to be anything at all<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
