A/N: Hi :)
Chapter 34- Easy
November 1, 2010
Edward was here. He was in New York, and I had no idea what to do about it.
I definitely didn't ask Alice for advice. She wouldn't want me to see him. She'd badger me incessantly if I did. That fact and his return to New York made me reconsider what I had accomplished in the last few months, or, more precisely, who I had befriended. Edward wouldn't accept my friendship with Alice, and I couldn't jeopardize our reconciliation if he found out about us. I had to be good. Alice had to understand that I needed him. I couldn't see him if I hung out with her. It would mean another lie, and I would never do that to him again.
I just had to tell her that I couldn't see her anymore.
I woke up on Halloween, taking the Klonopin to continue the equilibrium it offered throughout my day. It would make telling Alice that I had to stop seeing her that much easier. But when I showed up at her apartment on Bedford, she was floating on cloud nine. Gun bra in hand, she smiled at me in her genuine way and told me tonight was about fun. As she held my bare face and applied a shimmery pink blush and lipstick with silver eyeshadow, I begged her to keep it light. I didn't want to wear makeup at all, but she convinced me of its necessity.
"Beautiful, Ms. Taylor," she said while fluffing my hair. It had grown since September. I didn't really look like Elizabeth anymore; I looked more like me. "You'll be the most beautiful swan ever!"
When I looked in her bathroom mirror, I was surprised by the woman I saw. I didn't look like me at all. I was beautiful, but not me. It was Halloween, after all. I should've been glad that my costume enhanced me tonight. But I was worried. Who would I find when I took the costume off later? What if she wasn't good enough for Edward? I may never be good enough for him again.
The moment we arrived at Fat Black Pussy Cat, Alice greeted the party-goers with glee, giggling and flitting about. My determination to tell her fizzled. She wasn't present at all, anyway. She pulled out her blue magic K once that night and downed it with water. Then, she went up and down the club to speak to everyone, asking if they were having a good time. Everyone except for me.
"So, did you order the balloons for Thursday?" Erik asked as the party was winding down. He said this with a terrible London accent. Considering how much of an "idol" he was for Halloween, it made sense.
"Oh! Not yet. I will tomorrow." I eyed his high platinum-blond spiky hair. "I could swear one of the balloons could fit in your hair, Billy."
"Billy? As in Billy Idol?" Erik groaned, opening his long black leather coat. "Hello!" He broke the accent. "Didn't you watch 'Buffy'?" He puffed out his chest. "I'm Spike." The accent returned, like acid in my ears.
"Oh yeah. I loved that show, but... Spike didn't speak like a pirate." I patted his shoulder.
"Tyler digs it." Erik rolled his shoulders back until I let go of him.
"Tyler digs everything you do. You're dating him."
"And my opinion's all that matters in the world, Swan Lake," Tyler said, walking up behind Erik. It was fitting that he had the matching pale skin and was dressed all in black. He had lofty dark brown hair, though, and dark brown contact lenses over his gray eyes.
"Are you... Angel?" I coughed, fighting a grin. "And you two..." I pointed at them as "Angel" put his arm around "Spike" and kissed him on the cheek.
"Yep." Erik stroked Tyler's forearm.
"Where are your fangs?"
"Oh, those?" Erik formed his hands into claws. "Those are for later." He grabbed Tyler's ass.
Tyler grew bashful with a giggle. "Night, Bella."
"Have fun," I said with a little wave.
They pawed each other as they made their way through the crowd. Their PDA was akin to Edward's and mine. It didn't matter where we were, we couldn't take our hands off each other. We were in our bubble, and no one could get in.
Alice was nowhere to be seen when I left. I wondered if she abandoned her own party tonight, but Tia, her assistant, said she had to meet with the manager and didn't know when that meeting would end. I felt the size of a penny. It was as if she were pulling away from me first. It was unexpected, but probably for the best. Even if Edward hadn't come back, I couldn't stay here. Where she and Erik lived day in and day out wasn't reality.
Twenty minutes later, I hopped on the D train, nostalgic. My visit to Alice's dreamland was coming to an end. I needed the Klonopin, though. I didn't know how I'd sleep without them. I would schedule an appointment for a psychiatrist this week. I didn't think talking to one was necessary, but I couldn't deal with my insomnia again. I'd do anything to keep dreaming of Edward.
I walked to my apartment in the early morning chill with a new plan in mind. Thursday would be the day I would tell her. After we were stuffed on barbecue pork and sugary liquor, we would part ways. It would be a perfect send off and a huge thank you for everything she had done for me. I'd wait for Erik to leave, then end it. A perfect thank you. A perfect goodbye. Then, I'd be perfect for Edward.
I showered, sure this would be the right course of action. Seeing her later this morning would be tough, but manageable. We wouldn't exactly talk that much when she arrived. We never did. We were too busy doing other things.
In my bathroom mirror, I looked exhausted. My shorn hair was wet and my collarbone jutted out more than it should have. I turned my face to the right, noticing how prominent my cheekbones were, now. When I pinched the skin at my hip, I felt the bone where I used to feel at least a thin layer of fat.
The trip to Alice's dreamland had transformed me. I was barely recognizable.
I changed. From the inside, out, I changed.
When I crawled into bed and shut my eyes, I didn't dream of Edward. Instead, darkness seeped into my skin and make me cold. Mercifully, the doorbell woke me a few hours later, ringing like a foghorn.
Alice was right on schedule. Groggily, I made my way to the front door. It was time to step into her dreamland once more.
"You're not gonna watch the episode when Aidan leaves her again, are you? You know I hate that episode!" She whined as soon as I opened the door. I blinked the sleep out of my eyes. When I didn't get a full night's sleep, I was left disoriented and numb from the world. Klonopin required at least ten hours, although it depended on the person. Miraculously, Alice's sharp voice worked its way through the fog.
"Not even a hello this time, Miss Grouchypants?" I blinked again, and saw her clearly.
"Had a lousy fuck last night, alright?" She took off her green fedora, fluffing her bangs. "Some people weren't as equipped as I thought."
"At least you got some," I mumbled.
It had become routine for her to stop by my apartment after an event. She came over to watch a "Sex and the City" marathon with popcorn and grape soda pop. I never thought Jake's birthday gift would be used so often. I hadn't watched TV at all when I was at the penthouse. Now, it was on for hours on end.
"I would've been more satisfied if it never happened, believe me." She pulled out the giant bag of organic goodness from her shoulder bag. "I have popcorn! Your favorite."
"Mmmm! Thank you."
"Anytime, Bella."
I shut the door, wondering about her quick cheer. She was so aloof, nearly nonexistent, at the party. Now, everything was back to normal. I couldn't just let this go. It was pretty clear why she paid me no mind when we arrived at the club, and I had to put it out in the open before never seeing her again.
"Look Alice, I'm really sorry about what happened a couple days ago. I just felt a little uncomfortable, but I don't feel weird anymore or-"
"It's fine. You're still fragile about your break up." She opened the bag and popped one into her mouth.
"Oh." It wasn't a break up. "So, you're okay?"
She chuckled. "I'm always okay."
"You'll be okay with an abbreviated marathon today, then, right? I've gotta meet Jessica later."
Alice gave me the most fake smile ever before walking to the couch.
"Oh boy." I ran my hand through my hair. "What's your problem with her? She's cool."
"Whoa! Whoa! Whoa! When'd you start drinking her koolaid? She's a cold-hearted bitch who wouldn't save a dying nun."
"Actually, she's alright. And it's not like I like her. She's just better than I thought."
"Yeah? Well, you have fun with her now and get back to me when you're lying on this living room floor with a knife in your back, bleeding to death."
"What the-" I pulled both of my arms inside the oversized Tisch sweatshirt Alice bought me last week. "Did she do something to you?"
"No. I'd never let her."
"So, why do you get so riled up? She must've done something."
"She was born, that's what she did to me. Now let's drop this." Alice plopped down on the couch pulling off her flats. "You smell nice. Uh-" She cleared her throat. "The apartment smells nice. Like coconuts."
I sighed. "Thanks. It's a new shampoo. I got tired of the old stuff." When I grabbed the DVD from season four, She threw her hands up with a groan.
"You've gotta be kidding me, Bella." She whined.
"Suck it up and deal." I whined right back. "We can watch your favorites for the rest of the morning."
Alice hated Aidan and Big. She thought most of the men on the show were annoying, actually. Her favorite episode was when Samantha threw the Hamptons party at Richard's mansion as a settlement. She wished she could "settle" her exes in the same fashion, which she said to my astonishment as the end credits played.
"You have exes?" I asked after wiping my eyes with my sleeve from the devastating ending. Carrie looked so tiny in the middle of the hollow apartment. Aidan's love wasn't enough to overcome the betrayal. She'd have to find her love elsewhere, and there was nothing she could do about it. "I thought you were the 'use them until they're useless' type?"
"Not always." She passed me a tissue. "I've had a couple of torrid affairs. I had one last semester."
My ears perked up as I blew my nose. "Aidan or Big?"
Alice popped the popcorn into her mouth one at a time. It was the most mechanical motion and only two of her fingers got greasy. "Neither. Richard. Slimier than swamp mud. I wish I never touched that man's dick, and I hope he gets herpes."
She grabbed the remote from the coffee table to eject the DVD. "I'm not talking about it, so don't ask. Let's watch the final season. Steve reminds me of my dad in this season. A good guy. I don't think it's in the cards for me, but you have a chance."
I blushed, grabbing a fistful of popcorn. "Why, 'cause you've sworn off guys after this mysterious bastard messed with you?"
Alice shrugged. "He definitely made me want to take a sapphic oath, but I like playing in the middle. Maximum pleasure." She winked.
"Oh, you like being a whore, then?" I asked, giggling, which made her throw popcorn at me, which made both of us giggle for a long while. She crawled over to the TV with popcorn sticking in her hair and some rolling to the floor.
"I just hope you find a man who treats you right. Someone who loves you." She dropped the disc into the tray, pushed it in and pressed play. Leaning back on her heels, she looked over her shoulder. "The only thing my ex gave me was this hat. He swore it was one-of-a-kind, but I saw him give the exact replica to one of his hookers last year. Ugh, he's such a slut!"
I stayed mum, reveling in her rant. She'd said she didn't want to talk about it, yet here she was going on and on about her mysterious hook-up.
"If this ex didn't mean anything, why do you still wear his hat?"
Alice grimaced. "I told you I don't wanna talk about that asshole."
I pursed my lips to fight a grin from appearing. "Okay."
"It's a nice hat, alright? I like it."
"I'm sure."
"It wasn't serious, Bella. It was just sex. Anyway, I hope you find someone better. You deserve it."
Pulling a throw pillow up to my chest, I said, "I already found him, Alice."
She scoffed. "That wasn't love."
"It was," I whispered, hugging my knees.
"No, he hurt you." I shook my head as she spoke. "When Edward left, you almost died. Love doesn't leave us weak, it leaves us strong."
"What would you know about love? You've never felt this way. You don't know what it's like."
She turned away, her dark head bowed.
"Oh, I'm so rude." I smacked my forehead a couple times. " Of course you know."
Alice shifted a bit so that I saw her profile. She chewed on her bottom lip. "Yeah. For someone very special."
"I'm sorry about that. You were only thirteen, but Jasper was the one, wasn't he?"
"Yeah." She turned to the TV again to watch Carrie get splashed by the bus. "Someday, you'll have that. Maybe that high school friend of yours will have a better shot at you."
I chuckled as the title of the episode appeared: "One. " "Jake's like my brother. He'll never be more."
"Well, when he gets here in a couple weeks, maybe I'll change your mind."
I kept mum, my stomach curling with the thought that that could never happen. Alice could never meet Jake, because I could never see her again.
After watching Steve and Miranda finally give into their attraction, I brought up the lunch. Erik had come up with a great way to reel her in. She'd never expect it this way.
"Hey, did Erik tell you about a study session on Thursday? He said you had an exam on Friday on the Cold War. You're gonna meet him, right?"
Alice unbuttoned her vest then re-buttoned it. "Um, sure, yeah. He wants to go to the main library on 42nd and 5th instead of my place. I love that library. Maybe I'll get married there, too, like Carrie and Big were supposed to." She sighed.
"I'll go to help if you want? I got an A on that paper last semester."
Her face lit up, and she smiled at me from her end of the couch. There was her genuine smile. "Yeah. Sure, yeah!"
"Great! It's a date."
November 4, 2010
Erik was gonna kill me for being late. I was on the 4 at Franklin Ave when I realized that in my haste, I had forgotten the final season of "Sex and the City." Alice loved it so much more than I ever did. I went back for it, almost slipping on a sheet of ice from last night's ice storm, and now it was 11:30. He would bitch about putting up the balloons himself throughout the entire lunch. I would have to buy his meal this afternoon, too, as if I could afford it. Living back on the funds left over from my scholarship was brutal. I wanted to find work, but no one was hiring now with the recession, especially not an undergrad.
I took one step off of the 2 train, running through today's agenda once more. I'd meet Alice and Erik, then head downtown for class. I chickened out over the last few days, but thought of going to the penthouse later. I was too afraid that he might see me. If he did, he'd see Alice all over me, and I couldn't risk that. The shame changed my mind again. My apartment it was. Maybe I'd even call my mom.
At the foot of the staircase, I gasped.
There was no way. No way.
After maneuvering my way through the crowd, I climbed the steps up to the main station and felt them tenfold.
Unmistakable. Nothing felt like this.
I stopped at the top of the steps and hurried over to the side to get out of the way of the throng of people going up and down. I was trapped behind them, a sea of black coats and dismal or determined faces headed to destinations most seemed to despise. I clutched my neck as I became wholly distinct from them. I didn't have a destination. Neither did I have a mind nor body.
All I had were tingles.
They shot up my neck, into my cheeks and up my forehead. They zoomed down my arms, around my chest, and into my heart. They paralyzed me from the waist down so that all I could do was watch the crowd.
I would see Edward's fire. Soon, his thick head of red hair would appear, and I would tell him how sorry I was. I had to protect him from the truth because it hurt him. I would tell him I loved him so much that I'd do anything to keep him happy, and that we had to make this work because... just because.
How could I speak? I couldn't. No, I couldn't see him. I wasn't ready. I had to see Alice one last time.
I pressed my back against the cool tiled wall, waiting for the tingles to die down. Maybe he wouldn't see me. Maybe the Klonopin was fucking up. It wasn't prescribed for me, anyway. Yes, it had to be the drug. He wasn't here. When I pushed myself off the wall, they intensified, stealing each breath from my lungs. My heart was beating so fast as the fire warmed the lead and slowly replaced the dread. Every person around me was determined. They were cloaked in darkness. They had no fire. In this moment, I was made of fire.
Suddenly, I felt a cool hand clasp my wrist and pull me away from the wall. It was a rough hand. When I looked up for its owner, I found another black pea coat, a thick gray scarf, and the most volatile green eyes I had ever seen or will ever see in my life. They jumped around my face unraveling a spool of emotions from relief to fear to desire to sorrow.
It hadn't left him. Still, his wound gaped from his irises.
Oh God, Carlisle.
He pulled me against another tiled wall away from most of the crowd. Some still crossed behind us. Some were so close running by us that my hair fluttered from the movement. They were too close, but quickly forgotten with one breath.
I breathed in Edward. Irish Spring. This was the first thing that was familiar about him. His hair was down his neck, curling around his ears. It moved when he moved, like a firestorm. Blond highlights made him seem softer and younger. He was sun-kissed and so red. His cheeks and lips and the tip of his nose were cranberry in color. These traits lent him a vibrancy that the hollows in his cheeks stole. A lump formed in my throat from how his coat engulfed him. His legs looked so skinny beneath him. His Adam's apple bobbed from his neck like a golf ball. There were so many new things, but the second familiar facet were his eyes.
They were open.
"Bella," he murmured as he pressed me up against the wall. My memories of the sound of his voice didn't do it justice. It was like the sun on a humid day, it weighed me down back to the earth. It heated my cheeks and my reawakened limbs. I could feel something hum deep in my belly, and it began to fill me.
I licked my lips, hungry for more of his words. My name held a different meaning when he spoke it. It meant adoration and relief and surrender. I ached to hear him say it again, to redefine me. I needed to be made like I was before. And with every utterance, his new words would drown out the old screams that were beginning to fade. Our life before the lie came rushing back to me.
"Bella..." His hand was an icy grip on my right wrist causing my hand to become numb. I was about to pull away when he just... let go. His brows furrowed as he said the next few words to me.
"Your hair..."
Those two words reminded me of everything and everyone I didn't want to think about since his departure.
He scowled as his index and middle finger pinched the tip of a lock of hair near my shoulder. I pouted, realizing that he never saw me with my original cut. That was when I looked like a true icon. I wanted so badly to be as magnificent as Elizabeth. She had a grace and ferocity about her in Cat on a Hot Tin Roof. I was a fool to attempt to resemble her.
Slowly, his lips reformed from the deep scowl to a thin line. Following his gaze from the strands, to my lips, to my neck, and up to my eyes, he stared at me as I did him, trying to soak in every last drop. We remained like this for a couple of minutes. The sound of him breathing me in sent me back to evenings at the penthouse. He loved doing this when greeting me after a day of working on the set with Ben. Just like then, his thumb swept over my cheeks in the way that made every hair on my body stretch and reach out for him.
I hitched a breath when he bent his head down to my neck. We both shivered when his frosty cheek met my collarbone. Yet we remained this way until the tip of his nose and his soft lips no longer felt like icicles. He melted into me, with his arms tight around my waist and his breath warm and steady. With every warm breath on my heated skin, I emitted a shaky one and held him closer. The soft hair on the nape of his neck was so much softer than what my paltry memory had remembered..
I gripped him tighter when he lifted his soft cheek from my neck's curve. Beads of sweat formed and slid down to the tops of my breasts, and he stared as if he could see it beneath the layers of my coat's red wool and cotton.
The feel of his smooth jaw on the backs of my fingers relaxed and thrilled me. It was a fresh shave and meant he had an audition. What if he were staying in New York indefinitely? Where was he staying? Would I be able to see him? Everyday. I had to see him everyday.
I reveled in this possibility as he pulled my hands down from his cheeks and held them between us. His long fingers intertwined with my tiny ones. I became enraptured by the fresh scent of mint emanating from his breath.
I could taste him again in my mind. I could feel his passion on my tongue.
Gently holding my flushed face, he leaned down with a flick of his pink tongue over his lower lip. He was close enough to kiss me and catapult me back in time.
"I missed this face. I missed the fuck out of your face."
Edward's ever-changing eyes, the shade of red on his cheeks, the lines creasing and disappearing on his forehead, the arch or ease of his eyebrow, the curve of his lips all said more to me than a word. His face was my compass. It guided me to what I should feel, where I should go, what I should do with my life. It led me to places I would never imagine going in the world and even in myself. This was how it was and hopefully how it always shall be.
I memorized the cadences in his speech before responding.
"I missed you, too." My voice sounded so loud in my ears after hearing only his breathing for the last few minutes. It also caused Edward to pull back. I read every line on his beautiful face and saw something I didn't want to see.
In this moment, his face was more than a compass. It was a time machine. In a second, it transformed, and I was hurtled back to the present.
There was a slight but noticeable shift in his eyes. Rapidly, he blinked. Then, his palms, now wet with sweat, fell from my face to down between us. I tried to keep his gaze, but he turned away to peer at the escalators.
I couldn't tell what he'd do next. He scratched the crown of his head, his face still turned up for another minute. Then, he stared down at me. This time, it wasn't engrossing, nor did it take me back in time. It was an easy stare. He could've been looking at a fleet of pickup trucks.
"Edward, I missed you. I missed you so much."
Rubbing his ear against his shoulder, his body loosened up some, and he shook his hands a bit. Then, he wiped them on the side of his coat and stuffed them into its pockets. In a fluid motion, he straightened his back. His eyes cleared and a cool smile took over his face.
"How've you been?"
I blinked slowly, unsure how to respond to this Machiavellian shift in mood. What could I have said that made him change so suddenly? The rush of stimuli from the station hit me as I thought of a response to his question. Everyone's voices, the click-clacks of their steps, the stations beeps, dings, and bangs filtered into our bubble.
A liar.
A liar.
A liar.
"How was your birthday? Did you get my gift? I've wanted to give it to you for a long time." The volatility in his eyes from before was gone. Now, they were calm seas. No storm was on the horizon, no fury. Not even the foreboding viridian was hidden between his golden flecks.
"Yes, thank you. I love it." I had the iPad in my bag for something, but I didn't remember what.
Suddenly, a Mariachi band began to blast the station with a cacophonous mess of accordion and guitar. It was a group of four men behind a couple of pillars across the way. The crowd of determined New Yorkers lost their focus and converged near the sound. We were surrounded by strangers.
I hated New York City in that moment as Edward's eyes veered off my face and down to his watch.
A sense of deja vu throttled me.
Chocolate and cigarettes. An obligation. A commitment.
I realized this was the same spot we were last May when we first kissed. The escalator had been abandoned and a comforting darkness had shrouded us from the rest of New York. We were in another dimension back then, in our bubble.
Now, the darkness was illuminated. Edward's skin glowed from the fluorescent lights. The last time we were here, he blended with the shadows so that the only parts of him that shone were his eyes and his hair.
There were two escalators transporting dozens of people up and down a new exit leading to 42nd St. and 7th Ave. One of those people, a teen with a bunch of chains in his back pocket, bumped into Edward. The kid kept going with a barely audible "sorry." Edward shrugged it off, but his body was turned toward the new exit already. Rather than take a step towards the escalators, he asked me another question.
"Are you back in Brooklyn?" He yelled over the music. His loud voice wasn't filled with concern. He asked this as if we were recent college graduates who hadn't seen each other in years and were now about to complain about New York's ridiculously high rent prices.
I nodded, following his fingers as they disappeared in his hair. I used to know where his hand would go when he would touch me. I knew when he'd take his next breath, because it would be the same time I would take mine. Now, I watched him lower his hand from his hair to check a watch I had never seen before in my life.
"I'm still..." He gulped and spoke louder. "I'm still at the penthouse. Have been since I got back."
"When did you get back?" I stammered.
"What?" He grinned. Charm and ease but so false.
When I repeated the question, I took a step closer. Our coats touched but just barely. Immediately, as if shocked by an electrical current, he backed away.
He ran both hands through his hair this time, staring down at the concrete.
"Edward, please-"
"I, um..." He took a deep breath, glanced up at me- not my eyes- then somewhere lower on my body, then up at the new fluorescent lights overhead. The next breath he took was an easy one. He lowered his face and a friendly smile greeted me. "It was good to see you."
He reached his hand out to my shoulder but stopped it mid-air and shoved it in his coat pocket.
"Maybe we could meet up?" I yelled over the music. Mid-question, the band finished their song, and my voice carried over the crowd. Everyone stared at me. Everyone except Edward. He watched them over his shoulder until they began to separate and hurry on to their destinations.
His apologetic eyes traveled from all the strangers surrounding us to the wall above my left shoulder. Placid apologetic eyes.
"I'm real busy now with the play. I don't think I'll have time."
His avoidance made me feel small, as if I were a pebble he could kick around. But news of him working on the play warmed me up all over. This must've been what Ben's good news pertained to on meant he was staying in New York. It meant more chance encounters. Then, my earlier worries galvanized.
If he was back in New York, did it mean Carlisle was truly gone? I wanted to console him but thought bringing up his dad would make the wounds in his eyes as vast as the black hole in my stomach. What if his shaven face didn't mean an audition? What if it was for a meeting concerning his dad?
With a huff, I admonished myself. I couldn't possibly know why he looked like this or any way, not anymore. I couldn't console him. I had no right to ask about his dad. He would never let me touch him again, let alone confide in me. I was as much of a callous stranger as the kid who bumped into him. No worse.
He never knew me. He never loved me.
As if he read my memory of his words, his eyebrows rose, and he rubbed his chin.
"You take care."
He headed for the escalator, determined, heading for a destination I couldn't even fathom.
The humming in my belly died down, and my fingertips prickled.
I didn't deserve to know where he was going.
"Edward, I'm sorry," I said to his back. This time, no one stared at me. The crowd was full of people preoccupied with life's errors and omissions. He stopped, though. His right hand appeared out of his pocket to rub the back of his neck. Then, he kept going, joining the line at the escalator.
The tingles rushed into my skull so quickly, I saw stars. I had to lean back against the wall to take a breath. When the dizziness subsided, I searched through the people in the escalator to see him peering down at me.
From his profile, I could see his lips were pinched as he faced the turnstiles ahead. Then, a foot away from the top, he stared down at me. He was high above me but not so far that I couldn't see the expression in his eyes. Instead of the volatility from when he first grabbed me, or the easy placid friendliness during our brief exchange, I saw something I never thought I'd see in his eyes again after what I had done:
Pure lust.
I tried to follow him. I ran up the steps, pushed through the turnstiles, and maneuvered my way through the thickening mass of bodies at street level. To my dismay, only darkness pervaded the concrete. The bright screens of the Jumbotrons lit up the streets brighter than the midday sun, but there was no light. People bumped into me as if they wanted to walk through me. I wished they did. I didn't want to be in this body anymore. I wanted to be in his.
The tingles were like champagne bubbles down my throat, like steamy summer hail on my skin. They poured into my heart, and I felt it beating. It was still functioning because of Edward. This city was huge, and the chances that fate would bring us to this place for a third time were slim. So, I reveled in the tingles until they became pings in the heels of my feet and the palms of my hands.
I rode the 3 train to my apartment, thankful. Who knew if I would see him again. If Carlisle were gone, he wouldn't be able to do the play. He'd be a wreck. But if his dad was alive, Edward would be here probably until the end of January. The uncertainty riddled me, making me drowsy.
Now, I wouldn't need a pill to sink into ten-hour body-numbing slumber. I had his new words. And whether I was in dreams peeking through the clouds of my subconscious or grasping for memories, he was fresh.
Time would change this renewed sense of Edward. I would worry more about his thin frame tomorrow. Today, I grasped for the memory of the way his lips and tongue caressed my name.
An hour later, as I hopped into bed, I forced myself to lock away his curious shifting disposition and the fact that I revoked my license to find out about Carlisle's condition. Instead, I pulled my blanket over my head and mouthed every word he had said to me as if he were whispering them in my ear.
"I missed this face. I missed the fuck out of your face."
"How've you been?"
"I'm still at the penthouse."
This was what I needed now and forever. His voice rang in my ears as I stepped off the ledge of reality. In reality, his dad could be dead, and he couldn't stand the sound of my voice. In my dreams, his eyes were open. I tumbled down into his green pools and drowned.
A/N: Thank you so much for the reviews last week and to the new readers, welcome!

To the staff at Children's Hospital, Valentine's Day also means a visit from one of the funniest couples on Earth. This is the second year the hospital staff and children had the pleasure of seeing Dave and Cherie on Valentine's Day.
"We absolutely love seeing Dave and Cherie each year," said Child Life Specialist Lois Simpson. "They are so incredible with all of our patients. They even brought out a chuckle and smile from some of our older teenagers who are treated here. It really was entertainment for all ages. Their wit and quick interaction is so off the wall, you never know what they are going to say or do next."
In fact, it was Cherie who came up with an addition to their "Goodbye" routine. Along with "See you later, Alligator," and many more goodbyes, the patients at Children's Hospital at Erlanger witnessed the first ever "Take care, polar bear."
Dave and Cherie not only share the love of clowning around, but also 21 years together as a married couple. They participated as clowns in the circus for five years before "running away" and becoming Ambassadors of Laughter. For the last seven years, they have traveled from state to state promoting the upcoming circus.
The circus will be in Chattanooga, March 14-17, at the University of Tennessee Chattanooga McKenzie Arena. Visit www.ringling.com for more information.

text: The Volume One wiki last edited by pikahyper on 03/07/14 01:12PM View full history The fifth grade. The threshold to puberty, and the beginning of the end of childhood innocence. Shuichi Nitori and his new friend Yoshino Takatsuki have happy homes, loving families, and are well-liked by their classmates. But they share a secret that further complicates a time of life that is awkward for anyone: Shuichi is a boy who wants to be a girl, and Yoshino is a girl who wants to be a boy. Written and drawn by one of today's most critically acclaimed creators of manga, Shimura portrays Shuishi and Yoshino's very private journey with affection, sensitivity, gentle humor, and unmistakable flair and grace. Volume one introduces our two protagonists and the friends and family whose lives intersect with their own. Yoshino is rudely reminded of her sex by immature boys whose budding interest in girls takes clumsily cruel forms. Shuichi's secret is discovered by Saori, a perceptive and eccentric classmate. And it is Saori who suggests that the fifth graders put on a production of The Rose of Versailles for the farewell ceremony for the sixth graders — with boys playing the roles of women, and girls playing the roles of men.Wandering Son is a sophisticated work of literary manga translated with rare skill and sensitivity by veteran translator and comics scholar Matt Thorn.Table of ContentsThe Boy Who's a GirlThe Wandering Son Wanders OnOscar and AndreWandering DaughterNitori-kun's BirthdayFriends and Their WordsTakatsuki-san's CalamityEverything I Want

When it took it out of the clamps, Doug's Shoe Bench was almost done and almost due. It was just before Christmas I needed to have it 100% finished and ready for presentation on 12/25. That lead me to spray lacquer, one of the quickest finished I know of.
|All finished, except for the finish.
When I tested spray lacquers last year to see which finish looked best on a spalted maple backpack rack I made, I settled on Deft Gloss Clear Wood Finish as the rattle can spray lacquer brand with the best combination of finish and ease of use. It worked well on Doug's Shoe Bench too.

The vegan banana coconut patty is what makes this - and on an English muffin?
I think we all know what tomorrow's breakfast is going to be.
Celine's Peanut Butter Banana Bacon Sandwich (V) The bacon is actually the chickpeas - but they're prepared in a unique way! Ooh, this is a must-try, also!
I've never thought about adding chickpeas to a peanut butter sandwich, but it sounds like it could be really tasty - not to mention a great way to add even more of a healthy protein punch!
Dana's Peanut Butter and Basil Sandwich (V)
It's yet another unexpected flavor combo, but I imagine that it could be quite good - especially on fresh baguette with a nice, cold glass of milk on the side! I'm definitely of the opinion that chunky peanut butter (aka the best kind) is needed for this recipe.
Maria's Elvis Sandwich
Haniela's Grilled Apple Peanut Butter Sandwich (V)
I'll have to try making that one to share with my little sister the next time I'm home - I bet we'd both love it!
We all get super excited when the baguettes at Harris Teeter's bakery go on sale :)
Anyway, remember my own unique nut butter sandwich idea?
Well, I love dried cranberries! The only thing is that, since cranberries are such sour little fruits, dried cranberries always have some sort of added sweetener. While some organic versions are sweetened with apple juice, many are sweetened with lots of added sugar.
And sometimes it really can be lots of sugar. A little is fine, but at some point that healthy dried fruit snack becomes more of a candy kind of situation...
Choo Choo Cherry, Freckle Face Strawberry, Rootin' Tootin' Raspberry (teehee), and Goofy Grape are the four flavors out there to tantalize your taste buds!
All with less sugar than the usual.
Compare that to the 23g to 26g of sugar in many popular brands of dried cranberries! And there's added fiber - do you see that whopping 56% of your daily RDI for dietary fiber?
Kids may say they're not that into fiber, but they'll certainly be into these snacks!
These super-sweet cranberries are so a new favorite of mine as a topping for yogurt messes, ice cream bowls, and (yes) peanut butter sandwiches!
What's your favorite dried fruit?
What are your favorite things to add to a peanut butter sandwich?
Are you going to try any of the above combos? Which one?

Sony begins to flex its 4K ecosystem. What's an ecosystem? It's what happens when content owners also control the means to distribution.
We don't want to labour the point, but 4K televisions are coming faster than most people think they will.
Perhaps the biggest progress in TVs in the last twenty years is the sheer beauty of their design, and the engineering marvels that have made it possible
It's started. The most important part of Sony's 4K ecosystem is in the shops: an 84" Bravia TV with quad HD resolution.
Sony's setting the pace for 4K, from the Lens to the Living Room, to use one of their favourite marketing phrases. And to show their commitment to the format, they've annouced that the're remastering some of their Blu Ray titles from 4K masters. It's good because it's a source of higher quality content for 4K display owners. But RedShark contributor Freya thinks it will also confuse customers. Here's her thoughts on the subject
Curved screens are shaping up as a key differentiator between top and lower tier television brands, especially those jumping in the race to put an UltraHD television in your home. Sony is the latest to follow the curve, introducing its first (less) curved line of 4K UHD televisions.
Ever since the launch of it's flagship 84 inch 4K Bravia, Sony has promised a 4K downloading service. Now it's here, and we know the prices
Well, Sony promised it "after Thanksgiving", and here it is: the first details of Sony's new 4K delivery system which may or may not show the way to the post Blu-Ray era
Nearly lost in the bustle of NAB 2014, Sony announced pricing for its new BRAVIA 4K UHD televisions, and a clearer picture of its designs to transform your living room.
The mighty Consumer Electronics Association has defined 4K as UltraHD. Kieron Seth reports

Poor guy! This year is definitely taking a toll on Luke Bryan's body. Luke fell from yet another stage, this time during a concert in Noblesville, Indianna.
Carrie Underwood has joined the soon-to-be mommy club! The 31-year-old announced yesterday (September 1st) that she and her husband Mike Fisher are expecting a baby!
Trisha Yearwood's 'PrizeFighter' is her first single in six years, and admittedly she had some catching up to do as far as recording and promoting new music in a digital world. Empowering songs that feature two of the top country vocalists of all time always win -- that's something she learned decades ago.
Even though Kristen Bush co-headlined the HAWK's Spiediefest and Balloon Rally concert August 3rd in Binghamton, and said on stage that he and Jennifer are not "broken up," Sugarland continue to fight off rumors of a breakup, as they have been since announcing their solo ventures.
Chely Wright is recording a new album, and she's letting her fans get in on the action. The singer has started a Kickstarter campaign to release her upcoming project, with a goal of raising $175,000.
Country siblings Kimberly, Reid and Neil of The Band Perry sat down with Larry King on his Emmy nominated series "Larry King Now" to chat about touring overseas for their first headlining tour 'We Are Pioneers'.
Florida Georgia Line recently compared themselves to legendary country group Alabama. I know HAWK fans have fond memories of Alabama playing the Arena here in Binghamton but Southern Tier fans also love "Cruise" and "Dirt" from FGL.

After Reconciliation, Steering South Africa to a Reckoning
By SHARON LaFRANIERE
Published: April 27, 2004
JOHANNESBURG, April 26— In his first four years as South Africa's president, Thabo Mbeki proved himself an able administrator. He is largely responsible for taming the economy, pummeling the government into postapartheid shape and extending water, electricity and housing to millions. He has helped mediate conflicts in other African countries and has campaigned for democracy across the continent.
But as he looks forward to a second term, which begins Tuesday courtesy of an election landslide this month that granted his African National Congress unshakable power, his most distinguishing characteristic seems to be that he is not Nelson Mandela.
Mr. Mandela is an all-but-impossible act to follow, a man so widely idolized here that one writer recently proposed that the nation stop renaming street after street and just proclaim itself ''Mandela-land.'' Mr. Mbeki has carved out a role for himself as an important transitional figure, one who has taken South Africa from Mr. Mandela's vision of racial healing to consolidated black rule.
Where he differs most from Mr. Mandela is how he treats the issue of race. If Mr. Mandela transcended his people's racial divide, Mr. Mbeki reminds them of it, sometimes unpleasantly. If Mr. Mandela was a peacemaker, Mr. Mbeki sees himself as a truth-teller. He figures, associates say, that South Africa is ready to look squarely at racism's legacy.
''Many whites, I wouldn't say all, have a particular stereotype of black people,'' he said in a revealing 2001 interview with the Mail and Guardian of Johannesburg. ''They would deny it, but it's true. They see black people as lazy, basically dishonest, thieving, corrupt. 'They can't really govern any country. Look at what's happened in the rest of Africa.' That would be the argument.''
Now 61, Mr. Mbeki seems driven by a grim zeal to debunk those stereotypes. ''If he has a mission in life, that is it,'' said Steven Friedman, a senior analyst with the Center for Policy Studies in Johannesburg. ''He wants to be the leader who is going to prove white racism wrong.''
He declined to be interviewed for this article. But if his often caustic public writings are any gauge, that zeal underlies some of his greatest successes -- including his crusade for a democratic Africa and his refusal to allow South Africa to become mired in debt to Western lending institutions like the World Bank.
It may also stand behind some of his most glaring failures, led by his obstinate refusal to urgently address his nation's AIDS epidemic while H.I.V. spread to more than five million South Africans.
That failure brought a public reprimand from Mr. Mandela in 2002 -- an act almost unheard of in the intensely loyal world of the African National Congress. But then, the two men, though tied by their fight against apartheid, have never been totally comfortable with each other.
Although Mr. Mandela picked him as his deputy president, Mr. Mbeki was not his first choice as a successor. The two men are vastly different: Mr. Mandela has a gift for the perfect public gesture; Mr. Mbeki tends toward bloodless speeches and carefully honed strategies. While Mr. Mandela is adored, Mr. Mbeki settles for respect.
If that troubles Mr. Mbeki, however, he hides it well. He displays the certitude of a man who not only survived 28 years in exile while the world ignored his cause but who consistently bucked his own movement's prevailing trends as well.
Throughout the struggle against apartheid, he advocated negotiation over armed resistance. Later, he helped shift the A.N.C. -- whose officials still call each other ''comrade'' -- from socialist to free-market policies, likely saving South Africa from economic ruin.
In both cases, ''he was called a sellout, a softie, a spy,'' said Mark Gevisser, a biographer of Mr. Mbeki. ''But, hey, he was right. I think he has the sense of being the light unto the nation -- the person who can see what other people cannot see.''
While negotiating with white rulers to give up apartheid, Mr. Mbeki was considered seductively persuasive. He later told journalists that even though he considered the white negotiators racist to the core, he refused to confront them, because that would have led to defeat.
No longer. These days, he is out to challenge racial prejudice head-on.
He has thrown himself into pan-African organizations to counter what he sees as Africa's image as a futile, conflict-ridden continent run by kleptocrats. He helped pursuade Zambia's former president, Frederick Chiluba, to leave at the end of his term rather than seek a constitutional change to stay on. He was the force behind a common African economic development plan.
''He was convinced it was the right thing to do,'' said Essop Pahad, a cabinet minister, ''and he convinced other people, not by shouting, not by playing the populist card, but by hard slogging.''
Critics say Mr. Mbeki's refusal to use South Africa's immense economic and political sway over Zimbabwe to push its authoritarian leader, Robert Mugabe, toward reforms blots his crusade for competent, democratic black governance. Mr. Mbeki's aides reply that in this case, he believes pressure would only backfire.

15:0816(155)AR - Customs Service, Region I, Boston, MA and NTEU -- 1984 FLRAdec AR
[ v15 p816 ]
The decision of the Authority follows:
15 FLRA No. 155 UNITED STATES CUSTOMS SERVICE, REGION I, BOSTON, MASSACHUSETTS Activity and NATIONAL TREASURY EMPLOYEES UNION Union Case No. O-AR-616 ORDER DISMISSING EXCEPTIONS This case is before the Authority on exceptions to the award of Arbitrator Jerome Rubinstein filed by the Activity pursuant to section 7122(a) of the Federal Service Labor-Management Relations Statute and section 2425.1 of the Authority's Rules and Regulations. For the reasons stated below, it has been determined that the exceptions must be dismissed as untimely filed. The Arbitrator's award in this case is dated January 24, 1983, and appears to have been served on the parties by mail on the same day. In the award the Arbitrator retained jurisdiction for a period of 60 days "for the purpose of supervising compliance . . . and resolving any question that might arise with respect (to the award)." The Activity submitted a request for clarification within the 60 day period asking that the Arbitrator clarify the actions necessary in order to comply with the award. On July 20, 1983, the Arbitrator responded to the Activity's request for clarification, essentially reiterating determinations set forth in his January 24, 1983, award. The Activity filed exceptions to the July 20 award with the Authority on August 15, 1983. In this regard, the Activity had previously filed exceptions to the January 24 award, which exceptions were dismissed by the Authority as untimely (11 FLRA No. 87, Case No. O-AR-516). Under section 7122(b) of the Statute, as amended, /1/ and section 2425.1 of the Authority's Rules and Regulations, as amended, /2/ which amendments are applicable to exceptions pending or filed with the Authority on or after March 2, 1984, and under sections 2429.21 and 2429.22 of the Rules and Regulations, which are also applicable to computation of the time limit here involved, any exceptions to the Arbitrator's award in this case had to be filed with the Authority no later than the close of business on February 22, 1983. Thus, it immediately and clearly appears that the exceptions filed by the Activity on August 15, 1983, are untimely. The Activity, however, appears to take the position that its exceptions are timely since the Arbitrator retained jurisdiction for 60 days; thus, the January 24 award was not a final award and the time limit for filing did not begin to run until the clarification of July 20, 1983. In arbitration cases that have come before the Authority, it is not uncommon for an arbitrator to have retained jurisdiction for a period of time to resolve question or problems that might arise concerning the award. However, retention for such purposes does not render an award interlocutory or extend the time limit for filing exceptions. Portsmouth Naval Shipyard and Federal Employees Metal Trades Council, AFL-CIO, 15 FLRA No. 28 (1984); see Social Security Administration and American Federation of Government Employees, Local 1164, AFL-CIO, 14 FLRA No. 70, n.1 (1984). Nor does a party's request for clarification of an award and the mere possibility of modification of the award by the arbitrator render the award interlocutory. See American Federation of Government Employees, AFL-CIO, Local 1612 and U.S. Department of Justice, Bureau of Prisons, U.S. Medical Center for Federal Prisoners, Springfield, Missouri, 6 FLRA 5 (1981). The Authority has held, however, in cases in which an arbitrator, in response to a clarification request, modifies an award in such a way as to give rise to alleged deficiencies, the filing period begins with the modified award. U.S. Department of the Interior, Bureau of Land Management, Eugene District Office and National Federation of Federal Employees, Local 1911, 6 FLRA 401, 403 n.2 (1981). In this case, however, the Arbitrator did not modify his award in any way as to give rise to the deficiencies alleged in the Activity's exceptions. Indeed, the Activity

Nyack News
Nyack Honors the Dreamer...and the Dream
On what would have been the 80th birthday of the late Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., Nyack College honors the dream and the dreamer in the best possible demonstration of people united to something greater than themselves.
As a prelude to the King holiday, Nyack welcomed Rockland County legislators, educators, officials, faculty, staff, and community residents to the campus to for its annual Social Justice Day luncheon. Veteran civil rights activist Rev. Dr. Richard Deats, a biographer of the slain civil rights leader (Martin Luther, King, Jr.: Spirit-led Prophet,) was the keynote speaker. Dr. Deats is a former executive director of Fellowship of Reconciliation, the nation's largest and oldest interfaith peace organization and staunch proponent of nonviolence. He reminded the audience of an aphorism recently coined that captures America's current climate: "Rosa Parks sat so Martin Luther King could walk…Martin walked so Obama could run. Obama is running so our children CAN FLY."
Further threading the day's event to Dr. King and to the upcoming inauguration of President-elect Barack Obama, the recipient of Nyack's Kingdom Justice award was Rockland County Human Rights Commissioner, Dr. S. Ram Nagubundi. As commissioner, Dr. Nagubandi investigates complaints of discrimination in employment, housing, and places of public accommodations. The Ph.D. in chemistry worked with Nobel Laureate, Sir Derek Barton, at Imperial College of Science, Technology and Medicine, in London, UK. He currently serves on the boards of Leadership Rockland, United Way, and other civic organizations.
Nyack College, represented by Earl Miller, Executive Director of Community Relations, linked arms with several community organizations and churches to make Monday, January 19, 2009 a day of service. Nyack students, faculty, and staff will be involved in a variety of activities—serving breakfast to Rockland County residents at St. Charles A.M.E. church, manning tables at Riverspace events, assisting People to People and West St. Day Care Center and attending an annual commemorative interfaith service at Pilgrim Baptist Church in Nyack. The day concludes with a jazz concert at Riverspace Nyack.
Nyack's five core values—academically excellent, globally engaged, intentionally diverse, personally transforming and socially relevant—are fundamental to the institution's legacy of service, which has prevailed since 1882. Today these values could not be more relevant and or more vital to our nation and to the world.

Does the city hall & the colorful shop (by restaurant) open?
Been playing this game forever trying to find areas by cheats or evolving to open city hall trying to stop my death day to kill me. I thought it was programmed to do so but fear I've been wasting my time.Dumb idea to have them die. Am I right?
Answer from: Emtron12
I don't think you can open the city hall. I have been trying to change my sims name and nothing happened. I think the city hall is just for show or something. Hope that helped 8)

Theoretical Physics
Posted July 11, 2009
Comprehensive, well done, and cheap to boot!
When I purchased this work for little for than six dollars on B&N, I wasn't expecting nearly the legthly and well written exposition of general theoretical physics that I recieved. The first four chapters cover many of the mathemattical prerequisites to the various theories -vector mechanics and the like, and the chapters are written very well, so that anyone with enough familiarity with the mathematics could understand them. It contains a significant portion of the work in theoretical physics done in the last century and because of that is a very handy reference. Overall this was a great buy, and I recomend it to any student of physics such as myself

Excellent introduction to higher physics
Couldn't recommend a better book for self-study, that would help the reader to make the tranistion from elementary/undergraduate to advanced physics. Almost all areas of theoretical physics are covered, with each topic treated in a clear and precise manner. The required higher math is covered in the first four chapters (the reader is assumed to have undergone a standard course in Calculus including differential equations). There are numerous well placed examples that help clarify the concepts. Solutions for most of the problems are given at the end. After thoroughly digesting the material in this book, the reader can move on to the masterful exposition of theoretical physics series by Landau (Ten volumes, 'Course in theoretical physics').

Television's Ghoul Pool About To Get More Active
And bloody: Animal Practice is latest show to get axed, but others are sure to follow. And just in time for Halloween as well.
As Halloween creeps closer and the TV industry ghouls swirl around in increasing numbers, the death toll on new fall shows is starting to pile up.
The ax first swung and hit CBS's Made In Jersey – probably not the first pick you had in the office pool.
NBC then canceled Dane Cook's Next Caller before it got on the air, but we only officially count canceled series if they get to air.
Of course, that makes NBC's decision to take the Munsters-inspired Mockingbird Lane and crush and compact it from a series to a Halloween special particularly difficult to define. That's got cancellation written all over it, obviously, even if NBC wrote it in invisible ink. What the decision really says is "we lost hope entirely," which is actually meaner.
On Thursday, NBC canceled Animal Practice. Justin Kirk is free. That monkey Crystal has gone to heaven (figuratively, with a wink to the Pixies) and now everybody is a zombie smelling blood on the schedule and demanding to know which show is next.
Well, you'd have to think the poor souls of Fox's Mob Doctor are sitting in very uncomfortable chairs in purgatory just staring at the phone. That one is long overdue and Fox's indecision seems unusual if not cruel.
In a strange, sick and sad indictment of American culture, it looks like ABC may never cancel The Neighbors, so curb your enthusiasm (or blood-lust) on that one.
But nobody on CBS's Partners should start looking at property (or even cars). That ax has has already swung – you just haven't felt the blade go through your neck yet (or CBS is still working on the press release).
Next in line is probably Guys With Kids on NBC, unless the network gave Jimmy Fallon some kind of extra special bonus where the demo number has to got to 0.8 or below. Then again, NBC just might be exhausted from hauling out its dead.
Over at ABC, don't be surprised if the devil checks out of 666 Park Avenue at some point.
And, quite disappointingly, the numbers for the second episode of ABC's Nashville were depressing. Perhaps depressing enough for the writers to sub in a tears-in-beers song about rejection for Connie Britton to sing next week.
The numbers for Last Resort are also not encouraging, but ABC can't cancel everything. And besides, a little patience might be nice from all the networks. This is an exceptionally difficult new era in television to launch a successful show. The daunting number options for viewers today renders old attitudes and practices about a show's success or failure utterly useless.
Gasp! – programmers may have to go on their gut instincts. Or pray to whatever gods you want about a slow build that's just another week or so away.
Barring that, the ghouls are circling and the ax is swinging. If the CW ever truly canceled series (or had anything worthwhile on the bench), it would have chopped the head off of Emily Owens, M.D. already.
Of course, judging from the pilot, Emily would still be talking, whether her head was attached to her body or not.

If I liked Rick Ross even half as much as I liked making Rick Ross fat jokes, I would be thrilled to review his new album. But I don't so I'm not. Truth be told, real talk, keeping it one hunnid, if it were up to me,... More

Song: Neighborhood Drug Dealer
When we think of Rick Ross in 2014, drug dealer isn't the immediate occupation that comes to mind. His latest release, entitled Neighborhood Drug Dealer, is more fitting for the biggest boss of 2008. Present-day Rick... More

Release Date:
November 10, 2009
On tour in Europe, with their latest album released to mixed reviews and Nick Jago on his way out the door (again), Live documents the Black Rebel Motorcycle Club channeling the weird vibes around the Baby 81 tour to return to the languid and raw sound that brought them to prominence in the first place. As a concert film, Live looks and sounds exactly the way the BRMC ought to. The band is sparingly lit and mostly filmed in black and white, giving the whole thing a kind of stygian ambience. Where this film (and accompanying CD) earn its keep is the sound. The BRMC really shine outside of the studio; the guitars are raw and fuzzy, the band is loose, and the atmosphere is gritty and dark. The older material on the album stands up like you'd expect it to, with the slower songs from Howl seizing upon the moody live setting, but the surprise treats are the songs from Baby 81. The live versions of "Weapon of Choice" and "666 Conducer" feel more at home in a live and unpolished setting. The sound is midrangy and grimy, as if these were some kind of mythical Jim Diamond versions. At times it feels as if this was the way that the album was meant to be experienced, with no frills or editing, just raw rock roll. While live albums typically fall into the province of fan service, Live should be able to convince anyone on the fence after Baby 81 that the band still has some rock left in it. Gregory Heaney, Rovi
