Today's video is one of my old favorites, from the Nixons, Sister:

Here I am again,
Overwhelming feelings
A thousand miles away
From your ocean home
Part of me is near

Thoughts of what we were invade
The miles that stand between
We can't separate
Your all I hoped you'd become

Sister I see you
Dancing on the stage
Of memory
Sister I miss you

Fleeting visits pass
Still they satisfy
Reminders of the next
Overshadow goodbye
Our flames burn as one

Sister I see you
Dancing on the stage
Of memory
Sister I miss you

All I am begins with you
Thoughts of hope understood
Half of me breathes in you
Thoughts of love remain true

Here we are again saying goodbye
Still we fall asleep underneath the same sky
You're all I knew you'd become

Sister I see you
Dancing on the stage
Of memory
Sister I miss you

Entwined, you and I
Our souls speak from across the miles
Intertwined, you and I
Our blood flows from the same inside
Half of me, breathes in you
Thoughts of love remain true

I see you, I feel you
When I close my eyes
I see walking there...
I see you dancing in my mind



In other news, I am apparently allergic to pine nuts. I had a delicious dinner of pasta covered in pesto sauce the other night and woke up the next morning with a hideously swollen lip. And nothing I have taken seems to help. So, just call me Angelina Jolie or whatever actress has those huge swollen lips.

I'm heading to Alabama for a break from the cold for a few days. Should be nice to see the family and get away from this crazy city. I'll try to bring back some warm weather with me.

And a bonus video. I was totally not a fan of this song when I first heard it, but it's has grown on me. This is Ingrid Michaelson with The Way I Am:
