Sappho Speaks: "Sunday Comes Too Soon"

What Would Sappho Say?

Lectori Salutem! or L.S. (Greetings to the Reader!)

Oh God! This was a serious task tying to find a way to create a separate pdf file inside the template I have created since I still use blogger to service my website. Basically, there is no way around it for me, a lowly HTML-er who just started programing in November no matter how many web sites I red all day or even the expert I paid tonight to see if he could help me out. It looks like the only possible way may be for me to simply embed it here in the body of today's blog and hope that works. Otherwise, it's back to the drawing board of last time and I'll have to upload a reader and and have the story read online. NO ONE WANTS THAT, believe me.

So, I am going to just go for it and see if this is going to work. SO... first off, the warning. The following file is for adults over the age of 17 as the material is Rated R in nature and no one under that age should be viewing this material without consulting with their parents. Please don't do anything foolish to get me in trouble. I'm having enough trouble with readership the last thing I need it an adult warning sticker to get through before you even get to my site!!! SO, the following narrative is caller Sunday Comes Too Soon and I guess it will have to fend for itself from here on in. Just click on the title of story below and tap your heels together or your Doc Martens, your preference and we'll be off the races.

Whew!! That's a relief! Now for those of you that enjoy this story and did not get a chance to read the first one, I am going back and re-releasing in it the text of the blog, The Music of Duets. That anecdote is called House of Cards and is completely different than this tale. The blog was released on Thursday, December 3rd so you won't have to go digging to find it as I have learned even one extra click of the mouse loses you your readers. :)

I haven't written much this week but I have been plagued with doctor's and dentist's appointments and they all seemed to somehow originate from hell. Most of you won't know the reference as the movie is really before my time as well but my father loved it and it's always on those 100 greatest movies of all time lists but I really did do my impression of Dustin Hoffman in Marathon Man. In the movie he is tortured with dental instruments, drills and such to talk... well, Monday I had over 12 injections of the anethetic to numb my tooth and for some reason it just wasn't working. Every time he went to drill I just screamed. He kept adding more until we both realized I could either walk out of the office with my cavity not done or I could just suck it up. They had no laughing gas in this office. I was slightly numb but I felt every part of the procedure. The drilling, the grinding, the filling, the taping, the burning of the color onto your tooth, the sanding, buffing, and polishing over and over again until it was right. I never had a problem with the dentist again and I take a medication that softens my teeth and makes them very suceptible to surface cavities (I go every six months to have one or two fixed) and I don't know what I'm going to feel the few days before that appointment. I certainly don't know what I will do if this happens each and every time from now on....

I hope I have a free pass from writing with my letter of excuse. I was in shell shock and horrible pain for two days. I have to go back at the beginning of April so I'll keep you posted. I'm sure everyone wants to hear frightening stories about the dentist!!!!

Well, I'm going to stop for now and let the story hold it's own. Hope the year is treating you right.

Much love.


Inspired by Sappho's Muse.

MUSIC OF THE DAY
For those of you that haven't heard of MASH UPS, today's the day!!!! A MASH UP is when two songs and mixed together, one is usually predominant and the DJ spins the other one so it syncs up with the new beat giving both songs a whole new touch. I have picked a few of my favorites and these both are mixtures of both artists which is less predominant, as I just said. The first one is called Rapture Vs. Riders combining Blondie and The Doors two songs. It's terrific. The second one is called Just Disturbia which blends Lady Gaga's Just Dance with Rihanna's aforementioned song. See how you like the concept as it is the new wave in dance clubs across this USA.

Rapture/Riders     Blondie & The Doors
Just Disturbia       Lady Gaga & Rihanna

QUOTE OF THE DAY
Suffering, once accepted, loses its edge, for the terror of it lessens, and what remains is generally far more manageable than we had imagined.
