"When your whole world is shaken-
From all the rhythm we have taken,
Dance with me..
dance with me, to the colors of the dusk.
When you have awoken,
From all the dreams broken
Come and dance with me, 
dance with me into the colors of the dusk...." 

'In the colors'
Ben Harper and the Innocent Criminals


I trust you all tried to at least glimpse the red wolf moon last night- apparently Leo is in something (must ask boo) and if we apply ourselves, dreams made last night will come true this very year...!

Anyway happy MLK day. Today is a good day to kiss anyone you know who can give a good speech, because I can't live without them. Read King's speeches, as well as any little beauty by Lincoln or Churchill before the sun sets tonight. It's like being given a pleasant electric shock; a reminder of ancient truths we rejoice to hear.

T and I resolved on our day off (ok don't laugh at the idea of us having a day ON...the market is closed, which means all podcast listening and internet shopping occur at home #hardship.) .. so we resolved to dive deep into all horrible customer service departments we had been avoiding- changing credit cards registered with the charity in Africa and Javier's gym membership; cancelling the comcast contract, merging jet blue accounts. I usually tell Thomas that I will handle everything- that he is too European, too civilized, too innocent to roll in this kind of mud. I probably throw in a "watch and learn" as I took the list. But invariably it is I who loses it and mauls some customer service rep being paid 9 bucks an hour.
After the third person asked for my birthday, my secret high school crush, my social security in Cyrillic, and how long I needed to be cuddled after, and THEN had the gall to ask: "How my day was going so far???" I said it would be going a lot fucking better if I were not on the phone with them.
This was kind of a mood killer, and made me feel bad. I am blaming the wolf moon.

But here is the good news: in the approximately 9 days that I was on hold with Jet blue, they played some music that was so good, I bought it. I am herewith sharing it with you- Ben Harper and the innocent criminals. Turns out that Tommy's band plays a really good version of their song "steal my kisses". highly recommend it.

PS T just told me that the man at our new "one Password app" signed off as
"Your caped crusader of support." (HA!)
I think i may be in love.
