I need you so much closer

The Atlantic was born today and I'll tell you how...
The clouds above opened up and let it out.

I was standing on the surface of a perforated sphere
When the water filled every hole.
And thousands upon thousands made an ocean,
Making islands where no island should go.
Oh no.

Those people were overjoyed; they took to their boats.
I thought it less like a lake and more like a moat.
The rhythm of my footsteps crossing flatlands to your door have been silenced forever more.
The distance is quite simply much too far for me to row
It seems farther than ever before
Oh no.

I need you so much closer
I need you so much closer
So come on, come on

Death Cab for Cutie: Transatlanticism

Just thinking about somebody.

Somebody we can't wait to meet. There's still so much to do, but quite frankly the waiting is killing me.

No pictures to post, but consider this a placeholder.

No more airplanes, or speed trains, or freeways

I wish the world was flat like the old days
Then i could travel just by folding a map
No more airplanes, or speed trains, or freeways
There'd be no distance that could hold us back.


Death Cab For Cutie: The New Year


We flew down to San Diego recently and it was the first time I had spent any time at Seatac in a long time and I liked it. We sat for awhile in the eating area where they've put in large window where you can sit and watch planes land and take off. If made me feel like a little kid again. 


Here's my travel tip for you: Leave the mini bottle of conditioner and bring a mini bottle of booze, the flight will be more enjoyable.

And we frolicked about in our summer skin

Squeaky swings and tall grass
The longest shadows ever cast
The water's warm and children swim
And we frolicked about in our summer skin

I don't recall a single care
Just greenery and humid air
Then Labor day came and went
And we shed what was left of our summer skin 

Death Cab for Cutie: Summer Skin


We just spent a fabulous Labor Day weekend down in San Diego with two of our favorite relatives. A lot of time on the beach and not enough sun screen has me literally shedding my summer skin.

It's kind of gross.
