More Song Interpretation Fun

I woke up with "Front Row" by Alanis Morissette in my head, so I turned it on while getting dressed. For the first time I made a certain connection - the line "I like you to be schooled and in awe, as if you were kissed by god full on the lips" - immediately I thought of the movie Dogma, in which Alanis, playing the part of God, does indeed kiss Jay full on the lips.

Then other lines, such as "I started by saying things like 'you smoke,' 'you live in New Jersey,'" and "why can't you shut your stuff off?" reinforced the implication. It's a weird, highly unlikely interpretation, most likely totally wrong, but it's fun to think about on a Sunday morning before I've reached my usual level of sanity.

Tattoo designs and other art.

I have an idea for my second tattoo, and it's so appropriate on so many levels (particularly in contrast to my other one, which struck me as very appropriate about a year before I got it, so much that I immediately decided that's what I would get if anything), that I doubt the design will change much between now and when I might think of getting it, which probably won't be until at least next summer.

Here are the two designs I'm thinking of, which are similar in many ways. I'm leaning towards the one on the left, though I may end up getting both eventually.

I realize either of these would be a very good counterbalance for the more intellectual tattoo on my right arm; I may put it on my left arm, or possibly under the one on my right.

For those who wonder where the idea came from, they're inspired by this sgraffito box I made in high school Ceramics class.
