So we made it.

Still digesting here... The album is so good.

That's fabulous about the tour. Your birthday is going to be amazing.

And I'm getting the same vibe off of a lot of the press this time out, too. It's confusing, irresponsible and their loss. Not sure what the motivation is (or am I?) but she's been undermined for her entire career so. Fuck it. I'm riveted as ever by her.

Swiped a tattered copy of Sunday's New York Times magazine supplement today from a laundromat. Aside from the blatant promotional opportunities presented by carrying this around, the friction between Madonna and the publication AND the juxtaposition of early era Madonna images torn through by Madonna now? A mood...

This wait until Friday for Madame X is painful enough. Godspeed on that extra day you're endeavoring.

So, listen to Madame X Friday and then feign surprise on SATURDAY like you've never heard it before. Just don't slip up and start singing along with lyrics you're not supposed to know.

No, that ain't right. Stay strong. I'm holding out until Friday to listen and that's difficult enough. Still love the excitement that builds whenever a new M record is almost out.

Not doing the tour this time (unless someone surprises me) but REGARDLESS OF MY PRESENCE she better do "Rescue Me" finally. And "Waiting". Are you going?
