I wake up with a strange song, or snippet from a song, in my head every morning. My memory plucks it from further back than just the day before; it plumbs the depths of my experience to bring me the most randomized, incongruent little Reveille it can reach.

Today it was He's Large, a ditty penned by Harry Nilsson for Robert Altman's underappreciated surrealist gem, Popeye.

I'm expanding my horizons, folks. Now, not only am I a member of a music blog (who'da thunk?) but now I'm a member of political blog (who'da thunk squared! Cubed!)

My birthday came a month early, when the receptionist at my job sent me an email telling me there was a package waiting for me at the desk from someone called "Voco".

Usually, packages at work are from my sister, containing little gifts and money orders for me to pay her bills, or else I've ordered something from Amazon that's small enough to carry home (my apartment building is notoriously sluggish about notifying us of packages.)

But I was expecting no such thing, and knew of no Voco. Voco? What's that? It's the company that makes THE STEPHEN FRY "JEEVES" ALARM CLOCK!!!!

It's not available in the U.S., but those who live in Japan can order it from the U.K. site and have it shipped to their sisters in America as an early birthday present.

So. Damn. Awesome.

Happy International Goil Day, everyone! (And happy birthday, Scott Thompson!)

Today is my 8th anniversary of meeting Gina and Cheryl. My friends Djin and Ade and Jordan and Dave Foley were present, too. A magical day.

And I have to sing:

12th of June
a gibbous moon
was this the longest day?

Because I have some sort of obsessive compulsive disorder that makes me do that every year.

Happy anniversary to all goils, present and far away. Love you very much and miss you all except the ones that live with me.

Ha ha, now I remember, I had to read Wedekind's The Awakening of Spring for that theatre class I took in college... that's why the plot and characters of the musical that won the Tony are so familiar.

Doy. I remember it only vaguely, and how utterly depressing it was.

I don't understand why the characters in the show seem to be singing rock anthems, though...
