the other end (of the telescope)

ticket's for amiee mann's show in july have been purchased and are in the mail. marcia and i are going together with our respective boyfriends, who will surely be banging their heads against walls by the end of the concert. i know chris doesn't *hate* aimee mann, but he sure doesn't like her. this is because aimee sings of emotional truths that chris- and most men- just can't handle.

ah, i kid. how could i make such a generalization? i know the real reason chris doesn't like ms. mann- it's because her first name is the same as an ex-girlfriend's. if her name was jackie mann, then, by my logic, he'd absolutely love her music.

either way, i am very excited. "bachelor number two" and "lost in space" got me through some tough times, not to mention "i'm with stupid," "whatever," and certain 'til tuesday songs. also, the songs make me think fondly of carole, which is always a good thing, and of other friends and companions who- like the song so beautifully, wistfully states- are currently at the other end of telescope.

and now i'm sharing her with my sister. which is just wonderful.
