Tori Tuesday #2
---
I guess of all Tori's albums, I have bonded most with Pele (Boys for Pele, 1996). It was the latest out when I discovered her in the summer of 1997. My first listens were actually not (in natural form) from the album and rather 1st a dance mix of Professional Widow by Armand Van Helden, and then soon after the rather interesting (and my absolute favorite) version off of her Hey Jupiter EP entitled the "Merry Widow Version". While some of you may have heard the former, I will spare linking Merry Widow as it well, is a hard listen if you are not a Tori fanatic (and even then, many in that group detest it).
My most recent Ex (of 2) and I would have Pele on repeat random most of the time when we were listening to Tori, and for the first couple years of our relationship it was playing on random repeat while we slept (he liked to sleep to music, which was a new thing for me but I soon became addicted to it). We also had one particular track we would play if we were drinking, and I can't hear it now without instantly thinking of the old Vodka/Pepsi days. Since today is day 80 of my sobriety.. here is that song:
Caught a lite sneeze
caught a lite sneeze
caught a lite breeze
caught a lightweight lightningseed
boys on my left side
boys on my right side
boys in the middle
and you're not here
i need a big loan
from the girl zone
building
tumbling down
didn't know our love was so small
couldn't stand at all
mr. st. john just bring your son
the spire is hot
and my cells can't feed
and you still got that belle
dragging your foots
i'm hiding it well sister ernestine
but i still got that belle
dragging my foots
right on time you get closer
and closer
called my name
but there's no way in
use that fame
rent your wife and kids today
maybe she will
maybe she will caught a lite sneeze
dreamed a little dream
made my own pretty hate machine
boys on my left side
boys on my right side
boys in the middle
and you're not here
boys in their dresses
and you're not here
i need a big loan
from the girl zone
and here is an amazing video of her performance of the song on Saturday Night Live, January 20th, 1996. I've uploaded it to my server, click on the photo to play, or right click to save.

I remember once after a breakup that was particularly brutal, I stayed drunk for one full month.And not just half drunk, seriously drunk. That was about ten years ago. I've learned since then. Warmest, heartfelt congratulations to you on your ongoing achievement.
Oh, and I'm almost up to four miles. Actually, I just did 3.7 miles.
beautiful post.
g'night friend,

Funny how the cracks don't seem to show
Me too.
I too was a Titanic buff as a kid. I use to look at picture books and try to imagine what it was like. I was so psyched when they found her final resting place.
Fritz and I were in Nova Scotia on vacation several years ago and we visited the cemetery where many of those who froze to death in the water that night are buried. Lovely tributes to them by the citizens of Halifax who didn't know them but who took very good care that they be memorialized with dignity and affection.
Hugs to ya m'friend. I'll talk to you soon!
As for the Titanic. I was always fascinated by the Titanic also. Not really sure why...I guess the tragedy and sadness attracted me for whatever strange reason. I just always have found stories of others (good or bad) to be quite fascinating...hmmmm...I think that is my attraction to reading so many blogs. I typically am drawn to the personal ones.
