Oh, I wish I were posting this because I was in luvvvvv, but, nope, not at the moment. Nor am I depressed, or PMS-ing!!!! I'm just nicely remembering love.....and when I was the recipient of this sentiment more often times than I can count. While I rarely took-up the offers seriously, I was always appreciative. At the time, it was literally like shooting fish in a barrel. Phone calls, flowers, shy smiles.....I have faith that my eyelashes will be counted again....

By the way.... I've seen REM two or three times in Budapest (1999, 2002?, 2006). The first time (Kissstadion, when I translated, in Spanish, to the hansom hansom Hungarian couple) they were quite subdued, perhaps even boring, but the last time, in the new Ferenc Puskas Stadion, they were fantastic, fantastic. Especially the bold anti-war song "The Last Straw." "Leaving New YorK" still makes me a bit sad, as I'll never know what I could have made there had I not run away.

BTW, isn't it wonderful, a real band, a real band of musicians, who do not need the sound mixer and studio tricks to sound as amazing as they are.
