I’m not a religious person, but this song by Leonard Cohen moves me. Music is the closest we can claim to be in the presence of the Divine.

Hallelujah
by Leonard Cohen

Now I’ve heard there was a secret chord
That David played, and it pleased the Lord
But you don’t really care for music, do you?
It goes like this
The fourth, the fifth
The minor fall, the major lift
The baffled king composing Hallelujah
Hallelujah
Hallelujah
Hallelujah
Hallelujah

Your faith was strong but you needed proof
You saw her bathing on the roof
Her beauty and the moonlight overthrew you
She tied you
To a kitchen chair
She broke your throne, and she cut your hair
And from your lips she drew the Hallelujah

Baby I have been here before
I know this room, I’ve walked this floor
I used to live alone before I knew you.
I’ve seen your flag on the marble arch
Love is not a victory march
It’s a cold and it’s a broken Hallelujah

Hallelujah, Hallelujah
Hallelujah, Hallelujah

There was a time you let me know
What’s really going on below
But now you never show it to me, do you?
And remember when I moved in you
The holy dove was moving too
And every breath we drew was Hallelujah

Hallelujah, Hallelujah
Hallelujah, Hallelujah

You say I took the name in vain
I don’t even know the name
But if I did, well really, what’s it to you?
There’s a blaze of light
In every word
It doesn’t matter which you heard
The holy or the broken Hallelujah

Hallelujah, Hallelujah
Hallelujah, Hallelujah

I did my best, it wasn’t much
I couldn’t feel, so I tried to touch
I’ve told the truth, I didn’t come to fool you
And even though
It all went wrong
I’ll stand before the Lord of Song
With nothing on my tongue but Hallelujah

Hallelujah, Hallelujah
Hallelujah, Hallelujah
Hallelujah, Hallelujah
Hallelujah, Hallelujah
Hallelujah, Hallelujah
Hallelujah, Hallelujah
Hallelujah, Hallelujah
Hallelujah, Hallelujah
Hallelujah

Here’s another version I like, with Rufus and Martha Wainwright “rehearsing” the song onstage.

Happy New Year, everybody!!!

Bunny Graffiti

I’ve been getting into a bunny kick lately. Everywhere I look I see bunnies, rabbits, good, bad and ugly. The thing with bunnies is that you can’t just have one. When I was a kid my brother came home with two bunnies from the fair. A male and a female. It wasn’t long before we had millions. Our male bunny would try to hump the mama just after she’s given birth. I mean, that’s dedication! His balls were huuuge!!!

So of course when we got bunnies for Christmas we had to have a whole case of them.

Excuse my geekery… I’m testing my network. Bleep!

I’ve been really into bunnies this toy-buying season. Bunnies!!! They’re so cute and fluffy and badass! Like Monty Python’s Holy Grail badass.

Have a look at these Dunnies all painted up like the badass bunnies that they are. Aren’t they the baddest bunch? There’s also these Smorkin’ Labbits, adorably orally fixated little bunnies, not as badass as the Dunnies, but would make great supporting bad guys in a bunny action flick any day.

The Bunnyfish is a bit of a departure from the classic badass bunny, but I just had to have one. Who better to represent my inner mermaid/bunny self than my very own Bunnyfish (which I plan on naming when it arrives - I still don’t know if it’s a he or a she. I decided to wait. Got any suggestions)?

Enough cuteness! Now on to toys of the… uhrm… sexual variety. I love my Rabbit Pearl Vibrator. Bunny ears tickle my clit and pearls churn at my opening. I don’t know any man who can do what my Rabbit Pearl can! I’ve had this toy for a long time, and it’s still a fun fave.

A few months back Jay got me the little white rabbit that could. It’s handy for quick zip-zip’s when I need a little perk in the day, and so much fucking fun when I’m playing with Jay.
