I got a new job as an office assistant that pays crap, but at least it has benefits (the lack thereof making me paranoid prior to my acceptance at WIS) and is relatively near. Unfortunately, the job isn't located in Pittsburgh, but in Penn Hills, which the buses in my neighborhood do not travel to. This means I have to drive. This means that _I_ have to drive, which is horrible. I hate driving. I get lost so very easily, I always go 5 miles under the speed limit because I think I'm going to fast, and I go about 2 miles out of the way just to avoid making left turns. I hate driving. Unfortunately, I'm gonna have to. So yesterday and today I drove to my work and back again 5 different times, twenty minutes each way, just to try and get used to the route and not freak out and get lost my first day (which is on friday). Oy vey. Five times might seem a bit excessive, but trust me, I needed it. And I think I need to do it again, because I swear, I'm friggin dyslexic when it comes to remembering directions. Anyone else have that problem? Never remember whether it was right or left when they go places? Or is it just me? Hmmmm, I'm really tired now, so I think I'll go take a nap. Au revoir, mes amies, Megan _____________________________________________________________ Fight the power!

It's certainly possible that Tori is happier than she was when > she made Boys for Pele, but what makes Pele great (IMHO) is not that it's > angry or unhappy or however you categorize it, it's that it's a powerful Yeah that's not quite the point I was making either. What I was saying was that whatever was going on in Tori's life at the time (and whatever her mood was) would have helped to fuel Boys For Pele like every other album of hers. Personally I've always felt that a lot of Pele was angry and at times a bit melancholy though. The subject of many of the songs are hardly jolly anyway. That's just my opinion though. Tori's current situation isn't fuelling the same kind of work. I honestly believe The Beekeeper is a solid collection of (on the whole) really good songs. No, it's not groundbreaking but it's still damn good and it's had a whole lot of airplay in my home. Will I still be listening to it in years to come like Pele? I don't know but I've been enjoying it daily since it was released and not just in some act of blind loyalty because I've never done that. I honestly like it and even love a lot of the tracks. If it's groundbreaking, it's excellent but I don't think something has to be groundbreaking to be good. At the end of the day though, it's personal opinion. If the album doesn't ring anyone's bell, that's fine. I just don't think it's a bad album.

Implying that putting any drug in your body is a bad thing. We overuse drugs and overmedicate all the time, but it doesn't mean that drugs don't help some people in some cases. Cruise was way off the deep end and I don't know that he was trying to say what you wrote at all. Some of your reasoning might be what he believes, but he was way past that and really rude about it when talking to Matt Lauer. jake ____________________________________________________ Start your day with Yahoo! - make it your home page http://www.yahoo.com/r/hs o-o-o o-o-o o-o-o o-o-o o-o-o o-o-o o-o-o o-o-o o-o-o o-o-o *** Subliminal Day Off digest *** To POST messages to this list: <rdtrn@torithoughts.org> Can't figure out how to SUB, UNSUB, or CHANGE ADDRESSES?
