I am the first commute from my new place...

So last night, I spent my first night in the new place in Long Beach and hung out w/ the new roomie. Didn't have too much to unpack and unload and organize, so we mostly just chit-chatted, went to McD's to pick me up a salad, and watched some Nip Tuck. Pretty good show...I'm hoping I don't get totally addicted to it. I can't wait to bring in the rest of my stuff and be settled settled in. I don't have a bed quite yet; he told me I could take one of the queen beds in the garage, or I can bring my dinky lil twin bed..I'm still undecided. I just don't know how old the bed might be. I'm not being ungrateful to the roomie or anything, but I already have a semi-bad back, and I would like to at least try to keep it from getting worse. So I slept on the couch. The morning commute was not bad at all...18 minutes from door to door coming in to work, and that was even w/ a bit 'o traffic. Awesome! Now I just gotta go grocery so I can food there, he he he. So tonight, I shall go back to my folks' place and pack some more stuff. Hopefully I can be fully situated by weekend's end.

I really love this song
I am thinking it's a sign
That the freckles in our eyes
Are mirror images and
When we kiss they're perfectly aligned

And I have to speculate
That God himself did make us into
Corresponding shapes like puzzles pieces
From the clay

True, it may seem like a stretch
But it's thoughts like this
That catch my troubled head
When you're away, when I am missing you to death

When you were out there on the road
For several weeks of shows
And when you scan the radio
I hope this song will guide you home

They will see us waving from such great heights
"Come down now," they'll say
But everything looks perfect from far away
"Come down now," but we'll stay

I've tried my best to leave
This all on your machine
But the persistent beat
Sounded thin upon listening

That frankly will not fly
You will hear the shrillest highs
And lowest lows with the windows down
When this is guiding you home

They will see us waving from such great heights
"Come down now," they'll say
But everything looks perfect from far away
"Come down now," but we'll say...

Such Great Heights
