To be known
and I thought I wouldn't have to be
with you
a magazine
This is one of my favorite lines in a song, ever. It's from Hey Jupiter off the Tori Amos album Boys for Pele. The album was generally more criticized by fans than it was acclaimed, but in my opinion it is probably one of her very best. You have to have patience to get through all 18 tracks, maybe. But it's such a great album with its own bizarre flow and logic, that it requires no patience at all on my part.
But that line. Who hasn't felt that way? A magazine. Interesting enough, for a time. Picked up and put down. Doesn't the average person have only a Reader's Digest idea of what another person is about? There are the rare friends who see you for the great novel or even library that you are. I have a few of those, and am so grateful.
Being known is what we all truly desire, I think, more than "love" or anything else.
I stopped to take a break from working on the kitchen walls and that song came on, so I thought I'd write about it. The sun is starting to slant down, and this beer next to me is goin' down great. In an hour or so I'll try out the potato vodka I picked up earlier today. Will steer clear of the blog after that...

I've always loved that line. And that entire album. I agree that it's one of her better ones. I think a lot of fans found it inaccessable....I found it more experimental, which I like...
Isn't all vodka potato vodka? Or is that another wrong thing I've been carrying around in my brain for years?....
they make "vodka" from just about everything these days. even grapes! in russia alot of people make their own fromw things like potatos and are dying fast..... anyway...
hope your weekend was great and i'll be back soon. ive been in the middle of a move! so exciting...
Well, I had to google "what is vodka made from" to get a clear answer. Most vodka is made from grain. But apparently it can be made from practically anything that has some sugar content, including milk? That's too weird. But, mmmmmm the potato vodka is yummers. Very smooth. Luksusowa is the brand.
