laura veirs and lisa loeb, one decade separated musical twins

Aubrey: i'm going to be a great abstracta expressionist sunday night
me: ha. why sunday night?
Aubrey: because i will be alone at laura veirs
4:26 PM sob

8 minutes
4:34 PM me: ha
i mean. i like galaxies, but the rest of her just doesn't do it for me . . . not even enough to leave free downloaded veirs on my computer
4:35 PM cubsey! send me your number so i can send you a picture of my new doggy dog
4:36 PM Aubrey: whatever
i'm over it anyway
xxx-xxx-xxxx
4:37 PM me: ha. like cinco?
4:38 PM Aubrey: de mayo?
me: yes yes
Aubrey: yup
kinda like that
4:39 PM Aubrey: just keep digging
4:40 PM how old?
me: hahahahaha
not sure. my friend and i rescued him from memorial after he wandered by ria's whilst we were eating. we ran around for an hour and a half before getting him calmed down and in the car.
4:41 PM they gave us our meal for free since we were running out to save a stray dog
he's old though. he's arthritic and has a white beard
4:42 PM Aubrey: yea, when the text said "puppy" i was a tad confused
me: ha
not a puppy at all
just puppy dog as a term:]
4:44 PM Aubrey: like you're in the doghouse like a term
me: hahahahaha
oh goodness
wit wit wit
4:47 PM Aubrey: i'm sorry, i just totally flipped when i first heard her and it was like the new joanna newsom for me and the same thing happened when i first heard her and no one liked her and i just don't get it
4:48 PM me: ha
well
i really did like that song . . .
4:49 PM she sort of seems like the 2000s Lisa Loeb . . .
Aubrey: too late dawson
oh helllllll no
you better learn to backpedal better
and faster
4:50 PM Lisa Loeb was on gossip girl last night and i was going off on how lame she is and why would anyone ever put her on the show

allow me to submit several pieces of evidence to the jury as to the fact that laura veirs just is lisa loeb about 10 years after lisa did her thing with "stay"

exhibit b (laura)

yes. yes. ms. loeb looks far more sultry with her six string than ol' laura, but you've got to admit there's a certain charm to laura in this picture. like your roommate playing a set at the coffeehouse and you going to see her . . . whereas lisa seems to be more of a sexy librarian being crushed under a guitar.

on we move:

exhibit d (laura)

once again we have sexy librarian, this time trapped in a tube top, and our good friend and roommate laura has wandered out into the desert in her dance recital best. still . . . the aesthetic and thematic similarities are too much to be ignored. i mean, there is the fact that lisa looks like her cat eyes are gonna jump your bones at any moment while laura will just glance bashfully from across the room that causes me to be far more endeared to veirs than loeb . . . perhaps they aren't twins at all but just two sides of a person. interesting.

so, to you, aubrey, all i have to say is that i shan't backpedal. not one moment. i shall forever and always pedal onwards as if on a fixed gear bike.
