favorite song

So this is my favorite song, Isolation by the Darling Buds. Don't worry, no else knows who they are either. It took me a while to even find the lyrics. There are about 3 fan sites for this band.
I love the breathy nature of her voice, the way it melds into the music. I can listen to this song over and over. (and i have a few times) I don't care for the little guitar bit in the middle. It seems a little dated, but this album came out in 92.

btw, did you know that google has a music search engine? use "music:" in google.

isolation

surrep, surreptitiously
steal a kiss or two or maybe three
suck me in
through your skin
through every pore

out to make me
out to make
me
precious mind

silence
does it ever get that good
does it
ever get that good
i don't know why you ask me
i don't know why you came
some things never change

out to make me
out to make me
out
to make me i'm in every vein
once i'm in i'm there to stay
i'm strong,
cool, infectious me and you

'cause see, see you gather
one as one
free as becoming isolation
isolation

surrep, surreptitiously
steal a kiss or two or maybe three
guilty
or innocent
in your
own words

out to make me
out to make me
out to make me i'm
inside your brain
silver running through your veins
hot and cool
creeping over you
breathe me in and out
taste me in your mouth
i
won't leave your bed
i won't leave you dead
i won't...
i'm in your
head

command line fsck

Restart in "single user mode" by holding down Command-S while the Mac is starting up. In single user mode, you're dropped into a command line version of Mac OS X, without windows or a mouse pointer. Type "fsck -y" to check (and repair, if necessary) the boot disk, after which you restart the Mac by typing "reboot" (sans quotes for both commands). Disk Utility and fsck rely on the same engine, so running fsck in single user mode is exactly the same as running Disk Utility.

I was hoping to hve this done by the end of last year. I'm going to make some more revisions. the overall composition needs balancing and i've missed a few details here and there.

t-shirts

I had some t-shirts printed. They cost me $5 each. I went around to different shops late saturday and found i had missed all of the buyers. The girls at Naked City seemed to be the most interested. One girl said she would buy one if i had one printed on a girl's shirt (i didn't) and told me to come back when the buyer came back. That was encouraging. It seems i should have gotten them printed on American Apparel shirts, which i could have at a higher cost. Red Light said they would take three and price them at $12 with a 50% consignment (2 smalls and 1 medium!).
