hmmm.... except the bends (the song) is not on iTunes at this moment. at this moment, it is "you and whose army?" from amnesiac.
now i want to get into writing another novel. bad girl. stay focused. shit. this new character is forming in my head, i hear his voice, i feel his stress and i want to get him on paper. but my "ok:novel" story is filling me up too. gee, maybe if i quit my job and just wrote i could get it all done as fast as it comes in to my head. or almost as fast.
my husband paints and he doesn't paint one painting at a time, he has (right now) 8 on the wall of his studio and he goes back and forth to different ones, depending on what he's thinking and what he wants to be doing at that moment. i wish i could do that with novels, have several going at once. i have my loralie novel in first draft - i want to get back to it and bring it up to a better state, but see, i got sidetracked with OK and now i want to get sidetracked with the bends.
focus. i wish i just wrote songs. not that it's easier, i don't believe that. but it's a shorter form. i should write poetry. i've tried. every time i start a poem it turns into a story. that's just what i do.
so, baby's got the bends.
poetic thought for the day: Rumi: "this is how i would die into the love i have for you - as pieces of clouds dissolve in sunlight."

Yum, I adore Rumi! We have more in common than Radiohead. :)
Thanks for visiting our blog! Yes, I am old enough to have seen the Beatles in concert.

yaay! rumi and radiohead. oh, and add another 'r' - do you also like rilke?
(I also like the Red hot chili peppers and the Raconteurs. and my husband is Richard and my son is Rylan. a thing for the r's perhaps?!)
and i too am old enough to have seen the beatles in concert. but i didn't. i did see the doors and the jefferson airplane and bands like that .....
