Why Walk When You Can Fly?

I don't think I appreciated this album before. I wanted Mary-Chapin to do a rock record, and she really didn't.

In this world there's a whole lot of trouble baby
In this world there's a whole lot of pain
In this world there's a whole lot of trouble but
A whole lot of ground to gain
Why take when you could be giving
Why watch as the world goes by
It's a hard enough life to be living
Why walk when you can fly

Realizing this will be my last 'normal week' for a while. Westercon is coming up, and then the Uffington Horse show on July 11th. I'm helping with setup and door, so it'll be a full day. I expect it to be a great day, but longish.

I'm planning on some book rewriting, house organization and cleaning work this week. I'd like to organize the nonfiction books a bit in the library, dust, put away, do the floors. I should probably ask Jesse if he wants this to be a joint project, so I can scale expectations appropriately timeswise....

In this world there's a whole lot of sorrow
In this world there's a whole lot of shame
In this world there's a whole lot of sorrow
A whole lot of ground to gain
When you spend your whole life wishing
Wanting and wondering why
It's a long enough life to be living
Why walk when you can fly

The amusing part is I ended up helping Sar with similar stuff yesterday. He cheated though - he waved boxes of unidentified computer parts under my nose. Fun treasure hunt time! ;) Also got to talk with most of the other roomies at one point or other.

And in this world there's a whole lot of golden
In this world there's a whole lot of plain
In this world you've a soul for a compass
And a heart for a pair of wings
There's a star on the far horizon
Rising bright in an azure sky
For the rest of the time thatyou're given
Why walk when you can fly

It's starting to get frustrating with Jesse in Neah Bay. I want to talk with him about various plans I'm trying to make, and he's not here. Pout. It is nice to have huge stretches of alone time. It's nice to just go and do things and not need to think, did I check in with Jesse? Is he going to worry? It's nice to have a break from bedtime coordination (I like snuggling; I dislike coordinating bedtime with someone who has such different sleep tendencies).

I also seem to be hornier than usual, which vamp_ire attributes to midsummer. I thought beltane was the sexual peak of the pagan year? Or was I mistaken? The christian calendar doesn't bother with that sort of thing...unless you count the wedding at Cana. I think the Jewish method is the best: dedicate one evening as time for, shall we say, *togetherness* ;)
