There goes the neighborhood!

Noisy people moved into the building. So much for my "quieter way of living"! I want a refund!

Bitter End

Finally warming up! After one t-shirt, a turtleneck and calf length sweater...PLUS jeans and knee high socks with high boots....or maybe its the red wine finally doing its job!

Little Town on the River

I'm kinda startin' to feel like this town is twisting into some form of surreal Walnut Grove.

Autumnal

God its cold...and bright...and fall....and these are on continuous repeat breaking my heart.




God I always forget how much I love Alanis!

Music Mania!

So, yeah, this whole new office thing...REALLY helping me to concentrate and get more stuff done! So instead, I played this little game. It's FUN! Try it!

Put your iPOD,​​ mp3 playe​r or whate​ver you use to play music​ on shuff​le.​​ Write​ down the song that comes​ up to answe​r each quest​ion.​​ Do not skip songs​,​​ even if you repea​t artis​ts!​​ After​ you name the song,​​ write​ yes or no for the quest​ion that follo​ws.

​See how many actually make sense​!​​

This is my favorite song right​ now: Make You Mine, Heather Nova
Is this true?​​:​​I do like it...a lot...but...no



This is my least​ favorite song right​ now: Sit Upon Da Rhythm, Natural Vibrations
Is this true?​​:​​ eh, no it's not my favorite...but I don't hate it!
(No video available. Like, at ALL! They're an obscure band I found in Hawaii....)

I have no idea why this song is on my music​ playe​r:​​ Trigger Hippie, Morcheeba
Is this true?​​:​​ hell's no LOVE this song!


This song makes​ me sad: Easy Silence, Dixie Chicks
Is this true?​​:​​ Oh hell yes....it reminds my of losing two very significant people in my life, even if they were only there for a short amount of time.



This song makes​ me mad: In The Rough, Anna Nalick
Is this true?​​:​​ Hardly. Here's another one that makes me sad. It reminds me of driving home on the day after Christmas, 2005.



This song makes​ me happy​:​​ Queen Bee, Taj Mahal
Is this true?​​:​​ Oh yes, love the bouncy happy feeling.



This song ALWAY​S cheer​s me up: Ants Marching (Live), Dave Matthews Band
Is this true?​ Dave ALWAYS cheers me up! Especially LIVE Dave!



This song bring​s back lots of memor​ies:​​ Compares to You, Glow
Is this true?​​:​​ This is one of the most amazing songs ever written. (Some may be more familiar with Sinead O'Connor's version). It does, usually very significant people in my life give me copies of this song. Whatever version it may be.
(No Link found)


This song remin​ds me of my crush​/​​boyfr​iend:​​ Cry, James Blunt
Is this true?​​:​​ It does not remind me of my current flame, but rather an old one. Annnnnnd...now I'm sad. Perhaps I should rethink this little game....



This song is overp​layed​:​​ I'm Free Now, Morphine
Is this true?​​:​​ on the radio? no. At the mansion? yes



This song is not playe​d enoug​h:​​ Yes I Will, Michael Franti & Spearhead.
Is this true?​​:​​ There is NEVER enough Franti in the world!



I'm sick of this song:​​ Meet Me in the City, North Mississippi Allstars
Is this true?​​:​​ Don't really ever remember hearing it actually....hmmm...it's pretty good!


​
I can'​​t get enoug​h of this song:​​ The Slant, Ani Difranco
Is this true?​​:​​ I haven't, in the 15 years I've been listening to it. So, yeah.
(No link for THIS one either...that's unbelievable!)


Some one told me about​ this song:​​ Stronger Woman, Jewel
Is this true?​​:​​ Actually, yes, my mom sent me the lyrics at a particularly low point in my love life.



I heard​ this song on my own: Once Upon a Christmas, Dolly Parton & Kenny Rogers
Is this true?​​:​​ Awww....this is one of my favorite Christmas songs. Another one brought to me by mom. We're big Dolly fans! And you should be too! now, I want it to be Christmas...can't believe it's only 3 months away!



I have watch​ed the video​ for this song:​​ The Waitress, Tori Amos
Is this true?​​:​​ No, I had not...that is up until this point...

R.I.P

As I write this, "the Man" is headed off to put his beloved "Biggie" to sleep.
It's a sad day.

Bug Free!

They are FINALLY pressure washing the outside of my building! They haven't done it in two years, and the spider poop build up? NAS-TY!
Made myself a little office in my apartment last night, to hopefully, finally, become more productive, and stop falling asleep on the couch! I'd take pictures, but due to "Hairy Mon" and "The Old Fella", my apartment looks like I haven't vacuumed in weeks....which is not the case...its only been about two.... :(
I haven't had this much change in a long time! It feels good. Day-um good!
