leaving distraction in my wake

day 01 | a song
Help I'm Alive - Metric I downloaded this album a while ago but never got around to listening to it and then I was going through a playlist of songs I hadn't heard yet and fell upon this one. Love the simplicity of the lyrics and Emily Haines' delivery.

( choosing this one was kind of difficult )

day 03 | a book/ebook/fanfic
Alright, normally I'd be all about the fic but I've got this book rummaging around in my head. Also, I don't think I could just link to one fic, so perhaps it's time for a list at some point. The book is Written on the Body by Jeanette Winterson and I've got passages from it popping up sometimes at night. I picked it up at the library last week and read a chunk of it while leaning against the bookshelf, then I put it down for a week and started it again earlier tonight. Winterson describes an affair so vividly, the emotion is a physical presence in the room. No book is for everyone but here is an excerpt:

Yes we are and I do like to pass the day with you in serious and inconsequential chatter. I wouldn't mind washing up beside you, dusting beside you, reading the back half of the paper while you read the front. We are friends and I would miss you, do miss you and think of you very often....You never give away your heart; you lend it from time to time. If it were not so how could we take it back without asking?
