Listening to songs, singing along, alone at last in the night air. David Bowie and KMFDM, Throwing Muses and Shakespeare's Sister and Garbage and German techno and a million other songs all cycling through the stereo like a rainbow.

I want to hear my favorite Police song. The one that goes "young teacher, the object of school girl fantasy".

I'm torn between wanting to rest and just enjoy the silence, and wanting to stay up all night writing, reading vampire novels and Russian literature, cleaning, moving around the place until exhaustion overwhelms me at dawn.

And the circus in my head, in the middle of the bed in the middle of the night...

That Police song you're thinking of is "Don't Stand So Close to Me." (I bet you like it because of the reference to "that book by Nabokov.") It is one of the best Police songs.

don't stand, don't stand so, don't stand so close to me...

Even though they really do something strange the pronunciation of Nabokov! That's such a fabulous song. Makes me think of my handsome Russian professor.

yeah, and lolita is the book. The Jeremy Irons movie version of it's pretty good. But I've neaver read the book, so I can't compare.

I love Lolita. The annotated version is helpful, because I never picked up on any of the Poe references myself, along with a million other things. I like the newer film version too.
