(A Lithograph of) Lady Lamenting on a Lawnchair

I'd like to meet:

(AIM = Chille420 -or- TweePopACap)
Today: A teapot. Mmmmm, tea.

Oh, and someone who will let me feed him fish and push him off his iceberg...

..
adopt your own virtual pet!

Music:

I don't much like female vocals.
But I am learning to accept them.
And I do dig boy-girl harmonies!
Just throw me a bone have a boy singing in there somewhere.
Note: I don't add bands to my favorites list until I've heard at least one of their albums all the way through, unless there are some extenuating circumstances. That's why I have two lists!
