Here we are
On earth together
It's you and I
God has made us fall in love
It's true I've really found
Someone like you
Will it stay
The love you feel for me
Will you say
That you will be by my side
To see me through
Until my life is through
Well in my mind
We can conquer the world
In love you and I
You and I, you and I...I'm glad
At least in my lifeI've found someone
That may not be here forever
To see me through
But I found strength in you
Cause in my mind
You will stay here always
In love you and I
You and I, you and I
You and I, you and I
You and IIn my mind
We can conquer the world
In love you and I
You and I, you and I
You and I...

I saw a real Oscar yesterday.
Jerome Robbins' Oscar for Best Director for the movie version of West Side Story.
Couldn't touch it though. It was behind glass.

Everything anyone needs to know about me can be found on amazon.com.

It lists the past seven New York City addresses in which I've lived and to which I've sent my orders. I'm glad somebody (or some thing, in this case) remembers them all.

The "Joseph's Store" tab that's automatically generated from the items the site thinks I own recommends books from varied genres and topics (ranging from sexuality to business to politics to The Annotated Mona Lisa: A Crash Course in Art History from Prehistoric to Post-Modern - which I've added to my Wish List."

I should edit the first sentence for clarity. The public can't see it. Thank goodness.

Runaway sock

When I used to live in a brownstone-like apartment in Brooklyn, I took my laundry to the cleaners a good seven blocks away. That was the closest one available. So, when I lost a sock, there was a lot of territory to cover and very likely that it would have been dropped along the way. I then moved into a high-rise building that had its laundry room on the second floor. I was on the ninth. I could have lost it on the elevator or someone could have taken it when moving my wet clothes to the dryer since I was taking up a washer. The next two apartments had washing machines on my floor so it was just a matter of walking backwards from my apartment bedroom door to the laundry room (usually less than 30 feet away). The next one was another laundromat situation, but at least this one was right across the street and they folded your clothes. So, if a sock was missing, it probably was because I missed putting it in the bag when I dropped it off.

So, HOW THE HELL DO I LOSE A SOCK NOW THAT MY WASHER AND DRYER IS LITERALLY OUTSIDE MY BEDROOM DOOR!??!?!??! WHERE IS MY SOCK!?!??!! Damn it!
