i dreamt i saw you walking
up a hillside in the snow
casting shadows on the winter sky
as you stood there counting crows
one for sorrow, two for joy,
three for girls, and four for boys,
five for silver, six for gold, and
seven for a secret never to be told

there's a bird that nests inside you
sleeping underneath your skin
when you open up your wings to speak
i wish you'd let me in

from "a murder of one" ~ counting crows
Por que?

Thursday was very busy. VERY busy. So frantic and rushed that i forgot to post, so go back one entry if you haven't read about my fourth of July and i apologize for any withdrawal symptoms you may have experienced. (like i'm all addictive and shit! HA!)

After Mr. Toad's wild ride at work, i ran out to the band house and hung with my boys while they got ready for the show at The Curtain Club and then went with them out to Dallas. i rode with Hunter's fianc�e, Wendy, in her little SUV and arrived in a haze. The first Band was Sanktum and i am completely enamored with them. There are few words to describe how totally awe-inspiring this band is and i let them know that very clearly (or perhaps not 'clearly' since the haze i was in was underlined with shots thanks to Wendy . . .) We got a free CD out of it, though! And all i did was shake his hand and tell him to do everything he could to have a contract by the end of the year or i'd be PISSED! Syphon rocked, as usual, and played with fire and it was a great show. We left early and i didn't mind that at all. i drove Wendy home and fogged up a bit more but then turned around and got me to MY home just fine and fell into a deeeeep sleeeep to be awaked by love's kiss . . .

Unfortunately, it was Myste who came to roust me the next morning, and she was there to steal away The Boob� for Roni's bed at the new house. She gave me the futon to replace it so now i have a 'couch' instead of a happy beautiful place to flop like puppies. i spent the day running about moving furniture with Myste and got all nasty and sweaty and smelly and BLECH so i had to scrub for half an hour to feel clean again.

Then, as i was exiting the shower i hear pounding on my front door. Unlike most people, i have no sense when it comes to these things and i ran to open it just knowing who would be there. i WAS RIIIIIGHT! YAAAAAY!

We eventually had to let me get dressed (highly overrated, that dressing, yep, it it) and went to forage for food. After a stop here and there and his home, we go out to see if Russ and Mary want to join us for dinner and Russ had to work but Mary went with us and we ate Chinese and 'camped' until everyone including the really friendly guy sitting at the next table were all gone and they were cleaning and then we left and dropped Mary off at home and then we went home to my house. He had to run some errands the next morning so i showered and dressed and actually put on some makeup (battle paint) to gear up for 'Family Day' as i promised to go with him and meet his family. From his feeling of near panic i was prepared for anything but they were lovely and wonderful people and actually reminded me of all my parent's friends that i grew up with, so i was as comfortable as one can be when in a new place with new people.

i'd like to think i exercised my powers of persuasion when we got back but i have a feeling we just demonstrated fascination weakness and fondness paired with a total lack of motivation to part with each other. But that's good, too. And we talked for a while but he had to do laundry if he was going to be able to wear clothes to work (i agree totally ~ highly overrated ~ all that getting dressed and stuff) and i had hardly slept at all so we worked really hard at moving him out the door. It was tough and exhausting work, i tell you! and then i curled up in a ball with Ward, the now incommunicado cow, and a blanket and slept off and on all night with shadowed dreams that slipped away and whispers i could not make out. i woke up desperate to clean my house and re-arrange the furniture. Go figure.
