Supper's ready...

LOVER'S LEAP

Walking across the sitting-room, I turn the television off.
Sitting beside you,
I look into your eyes.
As the sound of motor cars fades in the night time,
I swear I saw your face change, it didn't seem quite right.
...And it's
Hello babe with your guardian eyes so blue,
Hey my baby, don't you know our love is true?

Coming closer with our eyes, a distance falls around our bodies.
Out in the garden, the moon seems very bright,
Six saintly shrouded men move across the lawn slowly.
The seventh walks in front with a cross held high in hand.
...And it's hey babe your supper's waiting for you.
Hey my baby, don't you know our love is true.

I've been so far from here,
Far from your warm arms.
It's good to feel you again,
It's been a long long time. Hasn't it?

THE GUARANTEED ETERNAL SANCTUARY MAN

I know a farmer who looks after the farm.
With water clear, he cares for all his harvest.
I know a fireman who looks after the fire.

You, can't you see he's fooled you all.
Yes, he's here again, can't you see he's fooled you all.
Share his peace,
Sign the lease.
He's a supersonic scientist,
He's the guaranteed eternal sanctuary man.
Look, look into my mouth he cries,
And all the children lost down many paths,
I bet my life you'll walk inside
Hand in hand,
gland in gland
With a spoonful of miracle,
He's the guaranteed eternal sanctuary.
We will rock you, rock you little snake,
We will keep you snug and warm.

IKHNATON AND ITSACON AND THEIR BAND OF MERRY MEN

Wearing feelings on our faces while our faces took a rest,
We walked across the fields to see the children of the West,
But we saw a host of dark skinned warriors
standing still below the ground,
Waiting for battle.

The fight's begun, they've been released.
Killing foe for peace...bang, bang, bang. Bang, bang, bang...
And they're giving me a wonderful potion,
'Cos I cannot contain my emotion.
And even though I'm feeling good,
Something tells me I'd better activate my prayer capsule.

Today's a day to celebrate, the foe have met their fate.
The order for rejoicing and dancing has come from our warlord.

HOW DARE I BE SO BEAUTIFUL?

Wandering through the chaos the battle has left,
We climb up a mountain of human flesh,
To a plateau of green grass, and green trees full of life.
A young figure sits still by a pool,
He's been stamped "Human Bacon" by some butchery tool.
(He is you)
Social Security took care of this lad.
We watch in reverence, as Narcissus is turned to a flower.
A flower?

WILLOW FARM

If you go down to Willow Farm,
to look for butterflies, flutterbyes, gutterflies
Open your eyes, it's full of surprise, everyone lies,
like the fox on the rocks,
and the musical box.
Oh, there's Mum & Dad, and good and bad,
and everyone's happy to be here.

There's Winston Churchill dressed in drag,
he used to be a British flag, plastic bag, what a drag.
The frog was a prince, the prince was a brick, the brick was an egg,
the egg was a bird.
(Fly away you sweet little thing, they're hard on your tail)
Hadn't you heard?
(They're going to change you into a human being!)
Yes, we're happy as fish and gorgeous as geese,
and wonderfully clean in the morning.

We've got everything, we're growing everything,
We've got some in
We've got some out
We've got some wild things floating about
Everyone, we're changing everyone,
you name them all,
We've had them here,
And the real stars are still to appear.

ALL CHANGE!

Feel your body melt;
Mum to mud to mad to dad
Dad diddley office, Dad diddley office,
You're all full of ball.

Dad to dam to dum to mum
Mum diddley washing, Mum diddley washing,
You're all full of ball.

Let me hear you lies, we're living this up to the eyes.
Ooee-ooee-ooee-oowaa
Momma I want you now.

And as you listen to my voice
To look for hidden doors, tidy floors, more applause.
You've been here all the time,
Like it or not, like what you got,
You're under the soil (the soil, the soil),
Yes, deep in the soil (the soil, the soil, the soil, the soil!).
So we'll end with a whistle and end with a bang
and all of us fit in our places.

APOCALYPSE IN 9/8 (Co-Starring the delicious talents of Gabble Ratchet)

With the guards of Magog, swarming around,
The Pied Piper takes his children underground.
Dragons coming out of the sea,
Shimmering silver head of wisdom looking at me.
He brings down the fire from the skies,
You can tell he's doing well by the look in human eyes.
Better not compromise.
It won't be easy.

666 is no longer alone,
He's getting out the marrow in your back bone,
And the seven trumpets blowing sweet rock and roll,
Gonna blow right down inside your soul.
Pythagoras with the looking glass reflects the full moon,
In blood, he's writing the lyrics of a brand new tune.

And it's hey babe, with your guardian eyes so blue,
Hey my baby, don't you know our love is true,
I've been so far from here,
Far from your loving arms,
Now I'm back again, and babe it's gonna work out fine.

AS SURE AS EGGS IS EGGS (Aching Men's Feet)

Can't you feel our souls ignite
Shedding ever changing colours, in the darkness of the fading night,
Like the river joins the ocean, as the germ in a seed grows
We have finally been freed to get back home.

There's an angel standing in the sun, and he's crying with a loud voice,
"This is the supper of the mighty one",
Lord of Lords,
King of Kings,
Has returned to lead his children home,
To take them to the new Jerusalem.

23:52...all one song. I love Genesis...

   O...kay,.
OK, I actually had this conversation at work today:

Coworker: Ozy, I love you!

Me: Uh-huh

Coworker: No! I do! I feel this love for you deep in my heart!

Me: Um...if this feeling hits again, just tell me. I'll whack you on the top of the head with this tray, and it'll go away...

Coworker: No, Ozy...even the entire U.S. Army couldn't make my love for you go away...

Me: Um...yeah...well, we'll test your theory. Tommorrow, I'll send tanks to your house, and we'll see if you still love me...

Coworker: ...

I swear. This actually happened.

I have (I think) 99 wallpapers up now. :) One of them is a Witch Hunter Robin wallpaper. I need you all to look at it and tell me what you think.

I was playing around with the screen capture function on my DVD player, and taking pictures of the Witch Hunter Robin commercial on my Big O DVDs. When I went into my files to look at the captures, I saw what looked like part of a scene change: just plain black.

I was about to delete it when Thrush walked between the window and my computer screen. When she did that, I could see Robin's face quite clearly. So that got me expirimenting. And this expiriment discovered that the darker it is, the better the picture on the wallpaper showed up, from invisible in sunlight to crystal clear in darkness. And I was wondering: does it do that on everyone's computer?

If it does, I am delighted, for I will have created my first "special effects" wallpaper.

Gah...nobody ever told me that working at McDonalds would be hard on my feet...they're killing me! I have somebody elses uniform, my pants don't fit, my shoes are the wrong color, my feet stick to the floor, and my nametag is crooked. *Breathes deeply* And I don't get paid until October 8th! Wah!

But that's all the complaining. Other than that, I'm cool.

I've lost Thrush. Oh, woe is me. You want to know why I have lost my sister? I lost her through that insideous force known as "football". Yep. Thrush Battersea is a football addict. She watches games for the sake of watching football. I hate football. Football is dumb. It lacks the inherent grace and beauty (and Czechs with cool accents) of hockey, and the rules are too complex for a game that involves chasing people around trying to get a leather ball. Of course, some may argue that equally dumb is watching people skate around after a chunk of plastic, but they are wrong for one important reason. I like hockey.

I miss hockey. When we lived in New York, we had cable, so I could watch my favorite hockey team: the Buffalo Sabres. Dominik "the Dominator" Hasek, aka "Slinky Spine", is one of the BEST goalies in existance, and is second only to Wayne Gretzky, who is the coolest sportsguy ever. But now that we've moved to Pennsylvania, not only do we NOT have cable, the only hockey team around is my arch-nemisii, the Philidelphia Flyers. And do they bother to play any games on network TV? NO!

Speaking of TV, though, I officially love my computer. I have 3 different DVD programs. We stayed up until 2 am last night watching SpiderMan. Now, Spidey is not my favorite superhero. That spot is reserved for either Nightcrawler or Wolverine, or possibly ShadowCat, but definatly not Cyclops or Jean Gray. However, the movie with Tobey MacGuire is really good. Of course, the fact that my youth leader's two boys (ages 8 and 5) were asking me if I had seen it yet had nothing to do with it. Yeah, right:

Boy One: Have you seen Spider Man?

Me: No.

Boy Two: Why not?

Me: I haven't bothered.

Boy One: Won't your mom let you?

Me: Um...

Boy Two: She might think it's scary...

So, in order to defend my super-hero loving honor from two little kids, I borrowed it from the library. Well, yeah...I may have easily injured pride, but I'm still a cheapskate. And once again, I have received due penalty for my procrastination. That's a really good movie. Of course, I didn't quite like the ending, because I'm a big believer in girl meets boy, boy loses girl, boy beats evil villian, boy gets girl type movies (yes, very woman's rights-ish of me...), and the ending was not quite that.

Actually, two other movies I've seen recently have been like that. One was Hildalgo, which is another good movie other then the end...DON'T READ THIS NEXT LINE UNLESS YOU'VE SEEN HILDALGO, OR WILL NOT MIND HAVING THE ENDING SPOILED!!! In the end, not only does the main character NOT get the girl, he ALSO loses his horse! Grr! At least the horse doesn't die...

The other was Princess Mononoke. Great movie too, if not for all the icky slime and blood. Yeck. I just watched that movie a couple of weeks ago. I was on a Miyazaki rampage since I discovered he and Studio Ghibli are producing "Howl's Moving Castle" which is one of my favorite books of all time. Thrush and I watched "Kiki's Delivery Service" and "Princess Mononoke", and we want to see "Spirited Away" but the library that has it in our system doesn't send it out to other libraries. Very selfish of them. Anyway, I was surprised to admit that I actually like "Kiki" more than "Princess", which is strange.

My only complaint with Miyazaki is that Howl, the main character in "Howl's Moving Castle" is supposed to be a very handsome, twenty-something-ish guy, somewhat of a Bishy. Miayzaki seems incapable of drawing Bishies. Oh, well. The scenery more than makes up for it.

Man, I've rambled! Yikes. Well, I have to go. Later!

Oh, and DJ? L'chaim Tovim is Hebrew for "To a Long Life". It's pretty much just a blessing.

Ozy: Well, I am now "gaifully employed". Bah. I feel like a selout to starving artists everywhere.

Vash: Um, Ozy, you were never starving.

Ozy: I know, but it's the principle of the thing.

Anyway, I also feel like a sellout because it's at a McDonalds, and I hate fast food. Oh, well.

Like my new theme?
