When I'm reaching deep down into my senses

[sovay]

Bad: This is the third night in a row I have not slept. I am beginning to feel very frayed around the edges and I hurt all the time.

Good: I am reading tonight at Pandemonium Books & Games! Come hear me read different stories and answer different questions than at my previous appearances. I don't think it should be a selling point that I might be tired enough to speak in tongues.

On the strength of their "Save the People," spatch and I really feel the Mountain Goats should just do a full-album cover of Godspell or a concert revival or something.

On the strength of "Soft Stud," I am having trouble waiting for the rest of Black Belt Eagle Scout's Mother of My Children (2017/2018). Queer Native feminist alternative rock? Do you want to take my money now or yesterday?

Talking about Neue Sachlichkeit with moon_custafer reminded me of Max Beckmann's Double Portrait (1946). I visit it whenever I am at the MFA; it's one of my favorite pieces of the museum, along with the stamp seal with a suḫurmāšu or Ellen Day Hale's Self Portrait (1885). I like Beckmann's portrait of Perry T. Rathbone (1948), but the other one keeps coming back to me.

I was never a big fan of Godspell, but I *love* that song. It's one I've sung to myself all my life. And yeah, that's an excellent cover.

The reading is going to be wonderful; I only wish you didn't have to go into it so exhausted. If you end up speaking in tongues, and if one of them should happen to be Japanese, listen for an "ojōzu desu ne" from the gallery ;-)

He looks pretty much exactly the way you’d picture someone named “Perry T. Rathbone.”

I hope you have a great reading! Also that you get some decent sleep soon.

I'm very fond of Godspell and really like that Mountain Goats version of "Save the People."

That song has been stuck in my head all day while I have had to be doing things absolutely the disparate, desperate, complete opposite of that song.

Remind me again if both your incisors show when you smug-grin or just the one on the right.

I'm so sorry. And good luck with the reading! <3

Thank you for all the links! I enjoyed the song.

ETA: I have nothing new to offer just now, but have some gifs of Margaret Lockwood being ridiculously young and cute in The Beloved Vagabond, if you are up to moving images currently:

Thank you for these links. The Mountain Goats one especially – I'm a big fan, but hadn't heard any of the three songs of the page, so that was a wonderful surprise.
