(I Might Just Cry) It's Twofer Tuesday

This is a post in which I vent.

One of those nights where your thoughts are elsewhere, (sampling the new season) rendering you absent-minded...You have a few glasses of wine, take a taxi home, and think that you put your wallet back in your abnormally long tote bag. But really, you did no such thing...
And so, after a bit of searching, I believe I left my wallet in the taxi.
And I want to cry.
The last time I lost something so significant was when my purse fell off the back of a scooter, along the Williamsburg Bridge. I was devastated.
Gone was my corporate life-time membership to every museum in NYC (it's irreplaceable bc I no longer work for that company), my house keys, my favorite leather purse, a couple of custom made onyx and platinum and diamond bangles, a fistful of dollars, and some other things I'm sure meant a lot, even though I can't recall what they were right now...
Tonight I relived the nightmare...
The wallet I bought over 5 years ago.
The wallet that contained every membership card, every credit card, every gift card (except for the Bliss one on my desk), and every dollar bill I just took out but didn't spend....it's all gone.

and so it goes...

The only thing that takes it all away right now:

Fruit Bats - Canyon Girl
It's not as good as I remember it years ago ( and I was OBSESSED with this song), but I do have some attachment to the song/artist, and the time...Eric Johnson, or whatever his name is, also performs with The Shins. I've seen both bands live, and he is pretty dreamy any which way...Any man who plays the banjo is man enough or me.
The original recorded version is much better than the video version here, but it's the only one I could fine.
*edit* actually, after listening to canyon girl again this morning, it IS just as good as I remembered....

Oh good lord, no!! Maybe someone will find it and return it to you... don't lose faith in the human race just yet. That really stinks, Duskin.

At this point I'd like to put out a request:
If the person who found Duskin's wallet is reading this please return it to her! Take $5 as a reward but return it for the love of God!
