Laid

In belated honor of St. Valentine's Day, I present the satisfyingly awful "Laid," produced by Brian Eno.

When I was younger, I had but a vague idea of what this song was about. Today, I'm amazed that these lyrics were broadcast on mid-nineties American radio.

Other exciting tidbits:

• I did standup for the first time on Friday night at Worcester Polytechnic Institute. The audience was receptive and attentive, especially the generous friends who trekked out to cheer me on. Already I'm itching to perform again.
• Over the course of the weekend, I've spent a solid four hours in front of a piano (two hours of which were under the tutelage of my dear pal Deeks, who patiently taught me all sorts of songs).
• Today I impulsively hopped on the bus and wandered around Cambridge and Boston like a dense little tourist. I got back to Wellesley an hour ago, and I'm still defrosting.
