Closing Time

Check out this Death Cab classic. The Sound of Settling is my signature song.

The first thing I do when I get home is wash the gritty week from my skin. That line has been circulating my mind, plugging in and out of notes and stanzas until I find a fitting set of chords in my head. Do things like that ever happen to you? I actually wrote something this morning while in my poetic haze (usually a purple sparkly cloud around my head). Here it goes. Don't laugh: Ignition by C.L. I am empty, a burned lightbulb waiting for a new filliment. This city, once aglow with twinkling illuminations, has dulled to the point of no return. I have continued to sit and watch this great pendulum swing by but enough is enough. Though picking up and getting gone is a hassle filled procession, no chains hold me to this doorframe any longer. The things I have loved have cracked and the ones I have loved have either departed or become shells of their former selves, forever starving for something out of reach. It is too late for them but I still may escape. It is time for us to leave this place. What do you think? I was thinking about leaving for college and how terrifying it must be but at the same time how it gives you an opportunity to start something...I don't know what, just something. Oh, I forgot to tell you, um, I'm on the very verge of getting tix for Death Cab at the Garden! I am practically hyperventilating. LISTENING TO: Suzie by Boy Kill Boy I was shocked to find a free song of the week on Itunes that I actually like (well okay, there were a couple like the Nikki Costa one and the Fray when they were totally underground and...I should probably get back to Boy Kill Boy). "Suzie", my favorite track is full of bit influences such as the the Plain White T's power pop, a bit of Keane's style, and all of the st-st-stuttering of Phil Collins on "Susudio". The Brit quartet's first album Civilian is out now. But as far as pop is concerned don't expect me to be any farther than Boy Kill Boy. I have to draw the line somewhere. More later, Kit P.S. I got lucky and got to see the Heroes series premier a few months ago (thanks A.A.). I won't spoil it for you but I'll say this much: 1. This show is not for anyone under thirteen, it's pretty graphic (with violence). 2. The premier is a cliff hanger! Ah! Now I have to watch the next episode. Darn NBC executives. 3. I liked it a lot. But that may have been because of Milo Ventimiglia, who knows?
