I don’t usually post lyrics, but these ones are worth committing to memory for me. From Tegan and Sara ’A Love Type Tying’, off the L Word Season 3 Soundtrack (2006):
My shirt tucked out
And your hands tucked in
When dark things come calling
They want you to hear
Sweet humming underground sleepless and tired
A love type thing
A sure type thing
Keep your ears wide open
For the sound of the door
If they want you, they’ll take you
And that is for sure
Sweet humming underground sleepless and sore
A love type thing
A sure type thing
Oh it’s a love type thing
A sure type thing
Delicate, open to lots of interpretations, and just another brief reason why I continue to adore these girls (the scene in theL Word is also adorable, though sad at the same time…).

Adam and I received a bit of a shock yesterday — over the past 7 months we’ve been overpaying our rent by $100 a month. A $700 holiday “bonus” of sorts. What a great surprise; beyond the December rush, this is something we plan on continuing. $100-$150 extra dollars a month means in 12 months we could afford a pretty nice little vacation.
That hundred dollars would have just as easily been kept in a savings account or under a mattress, but somehow this perspective seems to be the most promising (for following through) as well as the most rewarding. Wouldn’t it be great if we got to the point where with that smaller added contribution we had a month that was “rent free”?
It’s all psychological, but at the same time it is surprisingly effective.

Just wrapping up over here — wordpress will be up and running shortly. Same old name, shiny new theme.
See you shortly.
(UPDATE: clearly now I’m here…hello Wordpress.)
