3 new sounds to fill her empty ears

This Bright Eyes album is a collection of his rarities dating from 1998-2005...can't go wrong there right?

I'd like to introduce the newest members of my family to you all. I had to buy music this day to carry me through the next couple of weeks... I've been sick the past week and seeing as I am the type of person who can never quite be sitting or laying still - I spent the better part of yesterday cleaning off my HD and backing all of my music onto my external drive. Forcing yourself to paruse for hours through your music does nothing more than leave you longing for something new and fresh.

This little beauty, well I just love Chan and this is her latest album - which I was too far behind on purchasing in the first place....so yeah, long overdue.

This day the weather was unseasonably warm and pleasant so Hubbers and I made a day of being outside, flitting about the city restaurants, cafe's, and finally my favorite music store. A little dive shop tucked neatly away on one of my favorite avenues. Before I entered the shop I stoppped and clapped my hands and shouted that I couldn't wait to buy 3 new albums. I held 3 fingers high in the air in a way that is so childishly my own. Hubbers asked if I knew which 3 I was going to buy and I happily giggled "No, of course not!" and busted through the front door to begin my search.

If you're a Serge fan, this album is a gold mine compared to the "I (heart) SG" compilation tribute, and I LOVE that album.

I am sure I am not the only person who immediately upon entering a music shop, forgets all the names and titles of the music they have been desiring. Well I've trained myself to counteract this phenomenom, so I headed directly for the correct letters of the alphabet right off the bat....but of course none of my titles were in stock! In any case, I don't feel I made off too badly in the end.

brooks???

do you ever swing by this page anymore?
I was bummed when you took your page down sometime ago.
I was cleaning off my HD all day today and came across a folder of music you turned me onto and I was so thankful for your ecclectic taste in music.
I miss your blog - it was one of my favorites!

bender

you can only bend something
back and forth so much
before it snaps,
is what I always say.

he bent me a bit much this day...
and it's not so much that I snapped
rather than it was the realization that I'm
perhaps just a figment of his imagination
that means little in reality to him.

because actions are louder than words
i always have said as well.
if you truly care about someone
you don't push them out and away.
especially not after you've wrapped your loving words
securely around them for miles beforehand...
giving them a false sense of comfort which leads them towards you.
just for them to arrive and see that no one is home.

Just cuz...I love this image. Winter comes and I curl up within the classics...just how I used to do. Julius Caesar is on his way next.

gym

I joined a local gym this day after voting.
I cannot wait to condition the limbs again.
I love feeling sore and spent and alive.
It gives me a rush to ache in that way.

insomnia

lay me out on cold stone
and press my knuckles white,
so that my eyes will close.

if I could cut out my tongue
and bury it beneath the house,
I think I would sleep better.
It seems my restless mind
currently rests at its tip.
