Aw, crap!!!

It's my own fault for posting that last "Xanadu" thing...I've got the soundtrack in my head, what I can remember of it. It won't come out. Not even humming the usual "In a gadda da vida" seems to shake it loose. I'm sure I deserve it on some level...

*smacks self in forehead*

Now I'll have a couple of hours all by myself humming "Xanadu" under my breath. Somebody whack me with a mop or something, willya?

On a more elegant note...

...Here in the Jade Mines we are lucky to have several representations of the Japanese poetess Ono-No-Komachi. Since I was working on Second floor this morning where we keep our Japanese collection, I thought I'd Google her and found a treasure trove of her poems, including this one:

Yielding to a love
That knows no limit,
I shall go to him by night --
For the world does not yet censure
Those who tread the paths of dreams.




Wikipedia is a wonderful thing:)
