An Indescribable Something

I think I shall now be sentimental. Run for cover. I just sort of felt like writing this, and well, if it doesn't go into the Dona Scura (my magnum opus, akin to Erik's Don Juan Triumphant) it goes up here. What I'm writing about is, as it says above (points to title with Punjab) an indescribable something. Key word here is indescribable. You're all probably aware of my quote fixation - not so much as Ben, I'll admit, but to an extent, I am obsessed with quotes. Somehow, other people know what I'm feeling better than I do. Or at least they can say it iin a nicer way.

Don't ask me just how it happens,
I wish I knew.
I can't believe that it's happened,
And still it's true.
I got lost in his arms
And I had to stay;
It was dark in his arms
And I lost my way.
From the dark came a voice
And it seemed to say,

"There you go,
There you go."

How I felt as I fell
I just can't recall.
But his arms held me fast
And it broke the fall.
And I said to my heart,
As it foolishly kept jumping
All around,
I got lost,
But look what I've found.

"There you go,
There you go."
How I felt as I fell
I just can't recall.
But his arms held me fast
As it broke the fall.
And I said to my heart,
As it foolishly kept jumping
All around,
I got lost,
But look what I've found.

"Gravity. It keeps you rooted to the ground. In space, there's not any gravity. You just kind of leave your feet and go floating around. Is that what being in love is like?"
- Josh Brand and John Falsey

This sounded somehow rather Hitchhiker's Guideish.

"Love is a snowmobile racing across the tundra and then suddenly it flips over, pinning you underneath. At night, the ice weasels come."
- Matt Groening

. . .

No excuse for that one, I'm afraid.

"A woman can forgive a man for the harm he does her...but she can never forgive him for the sacrifices he makes on her account."
- W. Somerset Maugham,

This quote is irresistibly related in my mind to doors.

"There's a fine line between love and insanity. I have erased this line."
- Oscar Levant

And naturally. . .

"We finally did it!"

"What?"

"Had an entire conversation in silence."

I know what you're wondering, and the world may never know.

"Love takes off masks that we fear we cannot live without and know we cannot live within."
-James Baldwin

Er, yes, phantom, masks, connection? Nevermind, you dimwit.

Point is that. . .

Cherryade is just a really nice drink.

And we are having simply stupendous weather.

I remain, gentlemen, your faithful and obedient servant,
