love is like jazz

I realized something recently, playing in this little jazz combo. And that is that jazz is much more fun to play than to listen to. And that is why jazz will never die, because musicians will always want to play it, even as it continues to be easy to ignore by listeners.

love is like jazz
you make it up as you go along
and you act as if you really knew the song
but you don't and you never will
so you flaunt your mistakes
and you make them until they were you

love is like jazz
the same song a million times
in different ways
"Strange Fruit" with
and without wind chimes
it's divine, it's asinine, it's depressing
and it's almost entirely window dressing

but it'll do

開会式

I told you I'd do it, but you didn't believe me, did ya? Well, now you're all gonna be really sorry, 'cause I did. I did it! I started a Japanese LJ!

Say hello to my little friend, biidamabako. The name means "marble box."

Now I just have to, like, write in it and get Japanese people to read it and be BFF with me. I'm sure that will be no problem.

(Hmm. I just had a thought. If I told my students about it, I'd definitely get a good readership. But do I really want to go there? Probably not.)
