love is a burning thing

Johnny Cash Dies at 71 is not what i needed to hear first thing this morning. it’s not setting a good tone for the day.

now, i fear, i’ll be lost in memories and melancholy.

Less heart breaking, John Ritter died too. Of course, so one ever found meaning and depth in his prat-falls. Poor John; we hardly knew ye.

Johnny Cash was my fathers favorite so I became a fan of Cash’s in the mid 60’s. I still have a lot of the vinyl even though I have nothing to play them on.

The last two days have been kinda hard. My eyes have had a mist in them for a while.

I was terribly sad about John Ritter too… I had the biggest crush on him since I was a wee little girl. He had the most gorgous smile and always made me laugh. Am I a freak? No. I think not. Its sad.

Things I Want to Tell You

I am celebrating my independence by sitting around in my pajamas until noon. [+]

The only thing the Slate piece on overused catchphrases is missing is how we really, really need to ditch douche. [+]

The best line I've read all damn day: "you can see from these photos that i was dressing like the secretary of the indigo girl's fan club, but not living the part." [+]

Joe Henry in the LA Times on Music's Literary Side. It's really good until he mentions Alice Munro (barf). [+]

You should go listen to this NPR interview with Liz Phair on the 15th Anniversary of Exile in Guyville. Go listen, now. Seriously. Go. She talks about the whole Exile on Mainstreet/Guyville thing. It's fascinating. [+]

Could The Deets be any cuter? No, no he couldn't be. [+]
