oh what a world!

wouldn't it make a lovely headline:
"LIFE IS BEAUTIFUL"
on the new york times.

thank you to rufus wainwright for "Oh What a World" - a beautiful and joyful song that had me beaming through the hazy, thick-lidded morning. (and from whence come the lyrics above.)

and thank you to martin tielli and bjork for following on his heels, proving his point.

and thank you to my iPod's shuffle feature for knowing exactly what i wanted to hear.

and thank you to the bright-eyed, floppy-eared dog who greeted me on the sidewalk.

oh, what a world we live in.

has it really already been a week? oh what stories and adventures! necking in dimly-lit, high-backed booths. rhubarb sugar. the secret shuffling of numbers. youtube binging with a fun, young yank. firm words with a dim-bulb-of-a-soon-to-blessedly-be ex-landlord. mystery valentines. deep and wonderful conversations and explorations. and art - oh art! if you haven't already (and especially if you like or love photography and/or theatre), please be sure to go to the vancouver art gallery for Herzog, and "Photography as Theatre." really interesting. wonderful. spectacular!
