Ok, let's try this again:

***Apparently, my initial post was a bit too cryptic and required access to the deep inner workings of my mind (or at least my iPod). It's a really simple request, but I guess I'm one of those people who has a hard time asking for the things she wants directly. Here are some hints:***

Dear readers [1],

I need your help. August is already slipping through my fingers, and I can't help but feel as though something is missing [2] from my normal summer routine.

I'm not talking about a summer fling [3]; I don't need a man to bring me flours [4]. I just need a little bit of help turning off the mathematical side of my mind [5] and refocusing my creative lenses (turning my inner camera on [6], if you will).

If you know what I mean, 1) please send me your suggestions or post them in the comments below, and 2) I think I might love you.

I'm in a pretty adventurous mood, so I'm willing to check out [7] whatever you suggest (once I pay my overdue library fees) - - just please [don't] [say] [this] [8].

Many thanks,

EDB

[1] people who read, broadly

[2] something is missing . . . from the picture . . .

[3] So that thing that's missing? Sometimes people use that word as a verb. That's not what I'm doing.

[4] Aside from being one of my favorite cinematic moments, the title of the film from which I stole this clip is important.

[5] So that thing that's missing? It's the name of a band. And this is a reference to one of their songs. Happily, this song is featured on the soundtrack of the film I referenced earlier.

[6] Also a song by that band, also on the movie soundtrack. THE TITLE OF THE ALBUM ON WHICH BOTH OF THESE TRACKS ARE FEATURED IS THE ANSWER TO THIS RIDDLE.

[7] I was just trying to be cute here.

[8] 1st link - you click here because you want to access recipes to cook and eventually _ _ _. 2nd link - you go here if you want to _ _ _ _. 3rd link - though I would strongly encourage you (based on personal experience) not to waste your time here, you can access this website if you want to find _ _ _ _. Combine these words, and it becomes the only wrong answer to this riddle (because I'm halfway through it and I want something new).
