won't you change me... ah the joy of yo la tengo.
speeding motorcycle of my heart,
speeding motorcyle won't you change me,
speeding motorcyle don't you drive recklessly
speeding motorcyle of my heart.
genius.

reckless driving it what it's all about.

picking myself up off the sidelines here, dusting those red sparkly shoes and getting out to dance with life again.

went out to see the comet last night, but no view of horizon.
Could feel those cosmic rays though, beaming down with new energy. Saw something but I can't tell if it was the comet or a star. Just like life really - is this a ten-minute flash or something that will shine on?

Wandered past carriageworks on my evening walk, and decided on a whim to go see the show. It's quite bizarre and fabulous suddenly having a theatre right there on my block. Luckily, it was last night of Batsheva dance Company 'Mamootot', which was absolutely amazing.
So glad I drifted in - the most incredible dancers I have seen in years.
Had a very funny time chatting with people about what exactly might happen in that reserved seat I'd chosen to sit next to - hey, you promise interactive theatre, I want total immersion! - created a nice air of uneasy anticipation in the audience, who didn't know what to expect. In the event, the dancers mostly just sat beside us, breathing heavily and recovering in between movements - until they all walked around the space, randomly choosing people to hold hands and make eye contact with. Lucky me, I had a long moment with an absolutely gorgeous man who had the best mischeiveous grin ever. Fabulous.

Made me wanna get up and dance. Swam 12 laps this morning.
