this song pretty much says it all

Such a feelin's comin' over me
There is wonder in most everything I see
Not a cloud in the sky
Got the sun in my eyes
And I won't be surprised if it's a dream

Everything I want the world to be
Is now coming true especially for me
And the reason is clear
It's because you are here
You're the nearest thing to heaven that I've seen

I'm on the top of the world lookin' down on creation
And the only explanation I can find
Is the love that I've found ever since you've been around
Your love's put me at the top of the world

Something in the wind has learned my name
And it's tellin' me that things are not the same
In the leaves on the trees and the touch of the breeze
There's a pleasin' sense of happiness for me

There is only one wish on my mind
When this day is through I hope that I will find
That tomorrow will be just the same for you and me
All I need will be mine if you are here

I'm on the top of the world lookin' down on creation
And the only explanation I can find
Is the love that I've found ever since you've been around
Your love's put me at the top of the world

Goldfrapp

I'm lucky enough to have a dear friend who got 2 tickets to the recent Goldfrapp concert at Roseland. Lucky, that is, to be her date for the night. What, me take a night off from being Papa? Oh yes. It was rad. Yes, RAD.



The performance was electric - very Blondie/Missing Persons/with a little Bette Midler from The Rose thrown in (okay, only her hair). I personally fell in love with the back-up dancers who were, at one point, wearing giant mirrored horse heads and silver unitards. Not that I'm going to get all Equus on you, it was just the perfect mixture of beauty and absurd theatre.

I saw Rufus Wainwright at the bar, at one point, and foolishly went up to him and chatted for a bit. He was nice, cordial really. But guarded. Who can blame him? I'm sure he just wanted to enjoy his buzz like everyone else.

Baby Update: Our little girl has her 2nd tooth and is now starting to sit up. And she's going to be a flower for Halloween.

... seriously

yesterday, she rolled over for the first time. the joke now is she'll be taking her SATs by next week.

like a little fang

ok, so she doesn't look like the cartoon here at all (it just makes me laugh ... ) but yes, our baby girl has her very first tooth.

she's been handling it very well, not losing any sleep over it anyway. amazing how she keeps growing and evolving, changing right before our eyes. i guess 4 1/2 months is pretty early for teeth, but she does seem like an over-achiever already - in so many ways.
