No wind when I took the watch
My ship was still and waitin'
I lay on that mirrored sky
A restless sail or waitin'
I closed my eyes said the
Words of will for the gentle
Breathin' that moves the seas
Make my sails fill

Whisper waves cloud the glass
Awake at last like a lover
It rushed around the talkin' sweet
Roll over, roll over, roll over
And in my ear he blew his name
It sound so strange but I heard it plain
Mistral Mistral wind ......here's the part where the drums, guitar and euphoria kick in......

I have always held the wheel but
I let the wind steal my power
Spin me 'round lose my course
Nights run be like hours
Well, it would show me the way
To the deepest mountains
Too high and beautiful to be
Mistral, mistral wind

All the hours on the watch
I wait for that breeze to move me
And blow me back to that place
Magic space all through me
And I sigh your name
Across the empty water
You made a crazy dreamer out of me
Mistral, mistral, mistral, mistral,
Mistral, mistral

-Heart, Mistral Win

You know you definitely have issues when you get the following response from the tech support person who you now know on a first-name basis:

Hello
Kristen; That will be fine.
I hope the new software works for you.

God Bless

also, i've been using that Colgate "whitening" crap. I mean, what exactly do they put in there, because the stuff really works.

i really hate being at work today. my now "bad" arm is throbbing and it's making me feel so damn old wearing this splint thingy. they had a complimentary ice cream bar upstairs today for the "fill in the blank" may-june birthdays. i feel so celebrated, especially since my birthday was like almost two months ago. those office gathering things are always so awkward too..they kind of amuse me now..everyone trying desperately to avoid those awkward pauses..the kind where you indefinitely end up looking at your co-workers feet and your stomach gurgles by accident...

also, in other news, my cat is better than yours!

yes, i am back from the island. when's my next day off? good lord, i want to go back...so so bad. bermudians are quite honestly the friendliest bunch of people ive ever met..i mean to have someone just casually say hi to you on the street or offer you their seat on the bus..never happens in my world. it was quite refreshing, not to mention crystal blue waters (not crystal waters, though I like her too) and pink coral sand. *sigh* and there were other amenities that i will mention later ;) actually, i'll post my pics soon as i re-eff up my cd burner..it is proverbially effed..uh huh.

anyway..i saw some guava trees. there's a first time for everything. this trip was a lot of firsts and i'm so glad for it.

also, do i really care about paul mccartney's wedding? i mean, great for the guy, moving on and what not, but i dont care to be barraged with attendants pics like ringo *who, btw, played at the ice rink recently, in my home town*. ..

i'll leave you with the lastest by devon..i liked it. he thinks he'll lay low for a while..maybe you have to be a slight jaded to appreciate. good thing i'm not.


Dev's Boozification Roundup


Ok, its 6 am and I have been drinking Jed's Hard Lemonade all night, so
I
thought I'd pass on this hilarious thing I wrote last month. Have fun.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------

--------------------------------------------------------------
The past few years have seen a new proliferation on the market of new
and
exciting 'Malt beverages.' Some of them are quite good. Some of
them...are
not.

In the interest of consumer service, (I swear to god that's all), I've
gone
ahead and tried a bunch of these, so that I can share the results with
the
people I love most.

(Yes, and you people too, I suppose.)

Woody's Ice Blueberry: Ahhh, remember the taste of chewable St.
Joseph's
aspirin when you were a child? Woody's has gone and captured the magic
of
this flavor, and made it into a pale-blue alchoholic beverage. Bravo!
Rumors
that Woody's next product will contain the flavor of bubblegum
penecillian
are, at the moment, unsubstantiated. Perhaps they can also make a more
'mature' version that tastes like chalky mint paste, complete with a
wooden
ruler with which to stir it.

Woodchuck Pear Cider: The fine people of Woodchuck realize that we may
be
tiring of ciders that taste like apple. So they've gone ahead and
created a
cider that tastes like...ASS. Magnifique!

Twisted Tea: Amazingly, this actually does taste just like iced tea.
And like
iced tea, it will not provide you with any kind of alchoholic buzz
whatsoever, despite its claim of being 5% alchoholic. I'm reminded of
what
Mickey Mouse said in the Sorcerer's Apprentice: 'Oh fuck-too much
water!'
This is just the beverage for those who are driving and wish to stay
sober.

Zima Citrus: It is, by now, a well known fact that Zima tastes like
dish
water. Zima Citrus tastes like dishwater, with a hint of lemon/lime
flavour.
Just the thing for when you have company over, and wish for them to
take the
fuckin hint and go home early. There is also a rumor that you can use
it to
clean the connectors on your car's battery, but I have not tried this.

(Yet.)

Mike's Lemonade/Smirnoff Ice: These two are absolutly identical in
every way.
Same color, same taste, and same excruciating heartburn on the way
down. I
mean come on guys, do you pour battery acid into the mix here or what?
Kinda
like swallowing toothpaste. (I drank soap too, once, when I was a
little kid.
Ask my brother and sister; the results were explosive.)


Bacardi Silver: This is a fate worse than death. I really never thought
anyone would create something that made Zima look like a manly-man's
drink.
This stuff is so light and fruity, you should only drink it when
wearing a
pair of mint-green bikini briefs and a big pink scarf. Jesus Christ.

Captain Morgan Gold: ARrrrrrr!! It's Th' Cap-tin! And he's brung us
landlubbers a foin foin beverage, resembling flat whatery cola with a
maple
syrup after-teeste! Arrrrrr!

Skyy Blue: Twice in my adult life, I have had to be carried to bed,
after a
lengthy round of vomiting. Both of these were the result of drinking
vodka,
otherwise known as 'The Piss of the Devil.' When I saw a vodka-based
'malt
beverage' on the market, I initially gagged, but eventually I was
suckered in
by the pretty blue bottles that it comes in. And do you know what?

This shit isn't bad.

It has a flavor reminiscent of the 2 Dogs Lemon stuff that I can never
find
anymore. And, you get these pretty blue bottles too, which you can
perhaps
use to decorate your window sills. Just keep drinking and staring at
those
pretty blue bottles. Everything will be ok.
Blue...pretty....oooooooohhhhhhh.......

(By the way, what the hell is a 'sill'? What a strange god damn word.)



So there you have it. And remember-when all else fails, just get a
fuckin
Guiness
