My valentine every day.

And so he builds, because what is building and rebuilding and rebuilding again, but an act of faith?  There is no faith like the faith of a builder of homes in coastal Louisiana.  And there is no better way to prove to God and neighbor that you were there, that you are there, that you are human, than to build.  Who could ever again deny he belonged there?  If he needs to restore every home in this city, he will, to prove he is part of this place.”

OMG. If I was going to be celebrating Valentine’s Day instead of, say, taking Tylenol PM and sleeping through as much of the day as possible to avoid the anguish its going to cause me, this would so be what I would want.  I don’t know, maybe my dad will buy it for me or something.

If you’re not hip to Midlake by now, you must be stupid.  I have had this album for 3.5 years-ish and I’m not sick of it yet.  Holding my breath for The Courage of Others.
