the killing moon

Under blue moon I saw you
So soon you'll take me
Up in your arms, too late to beg you
or cancel it though I know it must be
The killing time
Unwillingly mine

it's so strange how this life works. i was feeling a bit strange last friday as i received a message that a job i had discussed seemed to be coming closer to reality. then yesterday, i received another message that stated the opposite. the funding had receded and there were more delays.

in all honesty, i am disappointed. but not that much really. i had been a little concerned because we are bringing this peer mentoring training to town at the end of march and i am already unclear about getting the time off. plus, i have become very accustomed to going where i want when i want and a more full time desk job would certainly cut into that freedom.

i hadn't made a decision either way, whether i felt comfortable with the prospect of this job or whether it would cramp my style and cause me regret. but no matter today, because the universe has relieved me of an immediate need for that dialogue. could this delay be more than chance? is it possible there is a better time for all this to harmonically converge? time will show me, no doubt.

today's sound choice is vintage 80's angst... but in a cover version. here is the killing moon by nouvelle vague.

nouvelle vague

“A changing environment will affect Alaska more than any other state, because of our location. I'm not one though who would attribute it to being man-made,” Sarah Palin

hmmm- seems someone besides "man" has been very busy. first getting a gas pipeline in alaska and now fighting a holy war for oil rights in iraq. and these are god's plans? i guess we all just melt with you sarah......

i was searching on youtube for a song by nouvelle vague. they do cover versions of pop songs and i have recently gotten into listening to covers. natasha bedingfield gives great cover too, but nouveau vague has a je ne sais quoi. anyway, i stumbled upon this clip of an old brad pitt film with a much younger catherine keener.

i saw this film (johnny suede) a lifetime ago. it was pretty campy. brad's hair shrieks both 80's AND rockabilly revival and i got a chuckle. hope you do as well. oh and the nouvelle vague cover of i'll melt with you gives me the shivers.

ps. i added a pic of me in a skirt from 1983 to my "fashion" post from 2 days ago. it's crazy. i knew had that pic somewhere and it drove me nuts until i found it.
it was taken upstairs at medusa's and leslie stephens is working the juice bar. i think it's at the end of the night(or beginning of next morning). there might be a kiki glaze in my eyes.
