The axe fell I've had this song stuck in my head since Sunday. Turns out the other shoe was just waiting for last night to drop.

The lyrics:

Today I feel surrounded / Today I am connected / Today I am a part of something more /
As if every cell were singing / Still, I can't embrace it / Every silver lining has a cloud, but not so far

I keep waiting for the shoe to drop /Waiting for the axe to fall / And it will happen / This I know / Just not so far

Today I feel like dancing / I never feel like dancing / It's like even the weather suits my mood / My entire soul is ringing / Still, I can't accept it / I keep looking for the thing to bring me down (Though I can't explain my reasons to you, I think we are the same)

Cool song...

Is the "axe" that fell job-related? Or something more personal?

BoPo: totally personal and boy howdy does it suck.

The band is Halou.

thanks! I'm apparently totally unloveable or as unlucky as Job or something like that

Sorry to hear it, crush. Maybe the bright side is you wont have to buy that Christmas/holiday present?

(((crush)))

chewatadistance has a point, those gifts tend to be expensive.

Ha! Chew@adistance (and Memo): I had had the same thought.

Aww crush! I'm sorry. *Hugs*

I'm blowing off work, taking myself to posh lunch and getting a haircut. Hopefully that will help.

Consider it a plate-clearing for the main course.

Just so long as I haven't got to wait another two years for the main course, I can deal with that.

If I weren't, you know, married and stuff, I'd totally hit on you. You're cute, classy and whip smart. It won't take two years.

aw, shucks, me3.

Two years?! I find that completely inexplicable. Clearly, you must spend your social time in morgues, because I can't imagine any warm-blooded male not hitting on you immediately. Come on, Chicago! Get on the stick!

Uh, so to speak.

Perhaps I ought to have t-shirts printed up that say "C'mon Chicago! Get on the stick!".
