What you resist persists, nuance makes heat
To counteract distance








Mutual Core - Bjork (Most people know who Bjork is, but you probably don't know how stunning her website is, so go check it out)

I shuffle around the tectonic plates in my chest.

You know I gave it all,
Try to match our continents
To change seasonal shift,
To form a mutual core.

As fast as your fingernail grows,
The Atlantic ridge drifts
To counteract distance.

You know I gave it all,
Can you hear the effort of the magnetic strife?
Shuffling of columns
To form a mutual core.

This eruption undoes stagnation.
You didn't know I had it in me,
Withheld your love, an unspent capsule.
I didn't know you had it in you,
You hid the key to our continuity.
I didn't know you had it in you.
This eruption undoes stagnation.
You didn't know, you didn't know.

What you resist persists, nuance makes heat
To counteract distance
I know you gave it all,
Offered me harmony if things were done your way.
My Eurasian plate subsumed,
Forming a mutual core

This eruption undoes stagnation.
You didn't know I had it in me,
Withheld your love, an unspent capsule.
I didn't know you had it in you.
This eruption undoes stagnation
You didn't know I had it in me
This eruption undoes stagnation
You didn't know, you didn't know.

A Case for Stadium Pal

Syda has convinced me that going to the bathroom alone is over-rated. She will now being taking mandatory field trips to the bathroom with me whenever I go. Why the harsh sentence?  I present Exhibits A and B for your consideration.  *Let the record show that is colored SHARPIE marker she has drawn on herself.  Please note the excessive coloring around her mouth and the fact that she has speech therapy tomorrow afternoon.  I'm looking forward to explaining that to a trained professional.





You'd think three years in, I'd know to watch her more closely.  To remember that when it's quiet, it's TOO quiet.  But I guess I keep having hope that she's outgrown this.  Clearly my optimism is being wasted in this aspect of life.

I'm really hoping someone gets me a Stadium Pal for Yule.  It IS real, you can order it online.  Please leave a comment if you need an address to send it to.

All Night Like A Child
I Stay Up To Prove
I Can Keep Up
All Night Like A Fool
I Stay Up To Prove 
I Can Keep Up
With You


It really doesn't get much better than Metric these days.  I included a live version as well, although the sound quality isn't great, but watching Emily live is worth it. Maybe it's just my inner rock-girl, but she makes me want to start a band.  









The Void - Metric

All night, like a child
I stayed up to prove
I could keep up
All night, like a fool
I stayed up to prove
I could keep up with you

All night
All night (sing along with the band, losing my voice)
All night (? my choice)
All night (sing along with the band it was steeling my voice)

What can I say
I stayed up to prove
I can keep up
I stayed up to prove
I can keep up with you

All night
All night (sing along with the band, losing my voice)
All night (? my choice)
All night (sing along with the band it was steeling my voice)

(All night, all night)

What can I say
I stay up to prove
I can keep up with you

All night
All night (sing along with the band, losing my voice)
All night (? my choice)
All night (sing along with the band it was steeling my voice)

All night (sing along with the band it was steeling my voice)
