overstimulated

[lenox]

sometimes i'd like to listen to some of my favorite music when i read a good book. i'm sure people do this all the time. but the problem is, if i really like the book, it's in the forefront of my mind, of course. i'm trying to absorb the words and think abstractly about their meaning. however, that part of my brain is also devouring the music, swishing it around in the top of my skull...

i can't seem to do both - i have to realize that each love has it's place. somehow you have to find time for both, to balance out your life.

speaking of stimulus - i got my economic stimulus, what a joke.
