“Anything You Want”
Live at the Parish, 10/13/2008

And here’s the real thing. This song is a perfectly crafted miniature, with just enough rich detail and emotional nuance to suggest an entire novel’s worth of plot and characterization. The bits that hit the hardest are so understated, as when he wonders “If you and me are so right, then why is it the same thing every night?” The moment feels true because it’s so fleeting in the song — the thought comes, but it’s too painful to dwell on for too long.

“if there’s anything you want/come on back ‘cause it’s all still here” - one of my favorite first lines of any song ever recorded.

Pizza parties as rewards for reading books would be sooo much more effective on me now at 26 than it was at 6.

OMG U GUYS! Miss Nelson is missing!!!

ok, so I think I’m the only person who didn’t read Where the Wild Things Are as a kid. But I DID read Miss Nelson is Missing. I’m not all hoighty toighty, so I don’t need a movie by an artsy fartsy director. All I want is for there to be a one time cross network special where Miss Nelson, the new chem teacher at Degrassi High goes missing. A witch like substitute takes her place in the interim and now one of her male students goes missing. Upon further investigation Miss Nelson’s DNA is found on the sub but she’s not talking. Thats when it shifts over to Law and Order SVU. They are called in for a special assignment in Canada to see whether the two missing cases are connected. All this crazy stuff happens and it turns out Miss Nelson was the sub and it was all just some kinky game she was playing with the male student who has been at her house all this time. But he comes of age by the time they solve the case and some weird Canadian loop hole keeps them from prosecuting her. Then they move to the US because everyone at home hates them. They move to Wysteria Lane, never to be seen or heard from again because no one watches that show anymore.

They could do this for sweeps or something.

Damn. This book is the shit. Got this lil number at the first grade book fair in the library. Read the hell outta that one. Miss Nelson wasn’t missing, actually. She just dressed up like a witch because she needed some damn respect. Great book, great book.
