~Faced With Slings and Arrows~

I have thick skin

From head to foot

Except

Over my heart

So sometimes

I need to curl up

Into a ball

To protect myself

From the #vss365 jukebox, Jennifer Hudson performs Movin’ On Up, the theme from The Jeffersons TV show:

Well we're movin’ on up
To the east side
To a #deluxe apartment in the sky
Movin’ on up
To the east side
We finally got a piece of the pie!

I read The Correspondent by Virginia Evans, the story of Sybil told through the letters she sends and receives. She is a vivid character, and that is the joy of the book. Looking back, many elements of the story are not that original. But that hardly mattered while reading it. Delightful.

From the #vss365 jukebox, this is decode by Sabrina Carpenter from the album emails I can’t send:

But now I wonder why
I let your confusion keep me up at night
I'm so tired
Re-read every single #undertone and I
Over analyzed it
Front, back and beside it

There are some good covers. But the original is special.

Standing in Nelson Mandela’s cell on Robben Island (for 18 of his 27 years of imprisonment) is an emotional experience. The brutality that was inflicted on the political prisoners here is hard to even process.

From the #vss365 jukebox, this is Without You I’m Nothing by Placebo with David Bowie:

I'm unclean, a #libertine
And every time you vent your spleen
I seem to lose the power of speech
You're slipping slowly from my reach
