The magnum opus is complete.

I feel a sense of relief and a vague sense of fear. The shelf is now empty. In my mind's eye, a slightly younger version of myself waves a prop sword in triumph. Top that!!!I know I can do it. My best work is in me yet. But I just can't think about it right now. Limbo is over and now I enjoy that brief point in

It's a beautiful record.

Me and my fragile artistic ego thank you, darling :-*

the shelf is never empty. not with the way your mind works. i know what kind of hell you've crawled through for this, and i'm so incredibly happy for you. i'd say proud, but that's not my place. i've watched you pour a lot of music into this world and i intend to watch you keep doing so until it's finally full. i love you.

Okay, I have a few things on the way to the shelf. You know what it's like...always having a handful of songs in various states of completion living in your head.

Thank you, love. You can be proud of me if you want to. It's okay coming from you. The world will never be full where music is concerned, so I'll be doing this until the day I croak. Or just get really bitchy and decide that no one is worthy of my brilliance while I crank out private records in our villa in Tuscany.

tuscany now? i have a feeling my entire retirement's going to be spent chasing you around the globe. ...wait.

[fab_boy]

Weren't we always going to retire in Italy? Or was it France? Why not both? Plus a nice little place in Connecticut. You can teach me how to be a New England snob.

There you are, pretty boy. I was wondering when it'd be that you'd show up again, so I could invite you to be part of my research personally.

[fab_boy]

There you are, sexy girl. Research? Research for what? Curious Rufuses need to know.

[stephentrask]

it involves you and me and tape measures.

[d_dematteo]

Well put.
