The Bar

Hmmmm.

Some music!

~puts coin in jukebox~

four songs left!

' THE FIRST TASTE '
Words & Music: Fiona Apple

I lie in an early bed, thinking late thoughts
Waiting for the black to replace my blue
I do not struggle in your web because it was my aim to get caught
But daddy longlegs, I feel that I'm finally growing weary
Of waiting to be consumed by you

Give me the first taste, let it begin heaven cannot wait
Forever
Darling, just start the chase -- I'll let you win but you must
Make the endeavor

Oh, your love give me a heart contusion
Adagio breezes fill my skin with sudden red
Your hungry flirt borders intrusion
I'm building memories on things we have not said
Full is not heavy as empty, not nearly my love, not nearly my love, not nearly

Give me the first taste, let it begin heaven cannot wait
Forever
Darling, just start the chase -- I'll let you win, but you must
Make the endeavor

I gotta go roll in the dust for awhile
(take a bath!) & warm up, too.

It's freezing in here, Mr. Bigglesworth!
I'll bring some kindling when I get back, eh.

Oh to live in a place where the grounds moves once in a while. Just the geologist in me wishing I lived anyplace but Michigan.

Guess I'll have a scotch. Need something to sit while I watch the fire.

[giggles tries in vain to remember all that she has learned about scotch over hte past couple of weeks, grabs blindly at a scotch bottle (drambuie?) and pours a succession of glasses which she lines upon hte bar, takes one w her good book and sits in the nontobacco-smoking section by teh fire, fretting for a moment over hte dwindling suppy of wood]

*walks in with bundle of wood slung over his back, drops it next to the fireplace, grabs a glass from the bar*

Oh, good! Scotch! Just perfect!

*sits down in front of the fire, pondering, nods and smiles at GS*

CWL - thanks SO much for coming to the show.

Jeebus, I'm so sorry I didn't rush out of the dressing room and give you a hug but

oh fuck... the world got a little hairy for me there.

hugs to you. hope you enjoyed it.

nipples · Post by **nipples** » Sun Dec 12, 2004 5:42 pm

Oh good! More wood!

~drops armload beside Coworkerlurkers, tends box & lights~

Whatever might be in that pretty purple box?!

~sniffs & rubs ribbon~

[GS smiles and nods at CWL, LL, and the rabbity one, wondering what the ribbon smells like, sips her scotch, returns to her book]

Lydia- my pleasure. Don't fret about afterwards hugs- I figured you'd be busy. We'll cross paths again later, I'm sure. Hugs will be involved. What was hairy, if I may ask?

Grab a drink, have a seat. It's quiet time in the bar.

Reminds me of the time I was doing a multi-day bike ride in Ireland. After a miserable rainy day, all I wanted to do the next day was curl up in a warm dry place and read. But the pubs had this thing called "Holy Hour"- they closed from 2:00-4:00 pm! "But... but... but..."

Nipples, thanks for the wood. Glad you're here, even if the words you say generally go right over my head.

Lydia Love · Post by **Lydia Love** » Sun Dec 12, 2004 6:03 pm

Oh lordy.

Today is the anniversary of my marriage...

and the day that my soon to be ex-husband came to see the show.

I can't seem to stop crying here...

gigglesnort · Post by **gigglesnort** » Sun Dec 12, 2004 6:09 pm

Ms. Love, some days are so very like that I've noticed over the years. Here's to tears and roadbumps......

samtzu · Post by **samtzu** » Sun Dec 12, 2004 6:13 pm

*Tall, dark stranger raises up, walks over and plants a big, big kiss on Ms. Love... and hugs her until she breaks into tears again... Then wispers in her ear... so softly... no one can hear except Ms. Love... and she smiles, and wipes her tears away... The stranger then goes back to the table, sits, lays his head on it, and falls asleep again.*

CoworkerLurker · Post by **CoworkerLurker** » Sun Dec 12, 2004 6:16 pm

Whoa- an anniversary like that is hard enough. Getting constantly reminded of it when you can't walk away must be the shits. If you still need more hugs before tonight's show, I'll still be in the area before I go home.

And cry. Crying can be so good. Don't even try to stop for a while.

Even if the tired one makes you smile.

Smiles and tears, smiles and tears.

And here's a big hug for you now-

(((((((((((((((((()))))))))))))))))))))))

Now my shirt's all wet. Best thing that's ever happened to it...

nipples · Post by **nipples** » Sun Dec 12, 2004 6:16 pm

Oh my, Lydia.

I made mischief a few minutes ago,
but now would like to comfort you with
something, anything.... from my divorce
to you:

The woman I loved still and always is the same.
Our children are also without condition.

Hopefully, you will not mourn the present of his company...

Too preachy, I am sorry (please spank me!).

Hi People It's my birthday and I'll cry if I want to,...... but I'd rather have a drink instead.

Start at one end of the row of bottles and pour a shot from each one till I start missing my mouth.

Lydia Love · Post by **Lydia Love** » Sun Dec 12, 2004 6:25 pm

smooches to y'all.

I'm ok, or will be.

oof.

I need to blow my nose.

gigglesnort · Post by **gigglesnort** » Sun Dec 12, 2004 6:25 pm

Happy birthday Zuggie! You share it w my nephew. I have a fantastic picture of my girl pouting on her birthday, pink ribbons in her pigtails, pink balloons. Here, lemme get you started......

[giggles pours a row of shots one each from the first five bottles]

Thanks, giggles.
I almost never try to give advice.

~rubs sore backside~

And on to Zulegoona!

~begins slow trickle of fifteen bottles down ice flow~

Zule! I was just thinking that it had been a while since we last crossed paths. Happy fuckin birthday!

Have a drink on me.

All my best hugs and kisses are going out to you, MISS Love. Your heartstings have been played like a ragtime piano lately... Go in peace, MISS Love.

On another note: Happy Birthday, Zulegoona! You're buyin'... I'll have something expensive! I love birthdays!

samtzu · Post by **samtzu** » Sun Dec 12, 2004 6:30 pm

*Tall dark stranger, head still down on table, raises his hand, with the index finger extended, which either means "We're number one!" or "Happy Birthday, Zule!!"... the hand drops again, and more snores come from the table....*

Zulegoona · Post by **Zulegoona** » Sun Dec 12, 2004 6:31 pm

Thanks Giggles!

Lydia I know there isn't much I could say to make you feel a lot better, some things are just hard, I hope knowing that all of us have love for you will help the hard times pass more easily.

Sensei · Post by **Sensei** » Sun Dec 12, 2004 6:35 pm

Samtzu, what time did you make it home this morning? Feelin' fuzzy? I'm glad you're home safe. What about the Wopster? And Sandwichman never showed at all...

Zulegoona · Post by **Zulegoona** » Sun Dec 12, 2004 6:36 pm

Thanks every one,

I've been visiting my Dad, we were told he was likely to die in a matter of days,... He's still ticking and looks like he will be at least for a little while longer. I really needed to be home here to get away from the ordeal.

Simply Joel · Post by **Simply Joel** » Sun Dec 12, 2004 6:37 pm

happy b'day, Zule
