random little stuff
I keep thinking of little things to write down on here, but I forget them by the time I get to the computer next. Here's two things that I thought of so recently that I didn't forget them yet.
Maybe it's just me... because it seems to run contrary to the "popular wisdom" (or is it a popular lack thereof?)... but has anybody else (guys particularly) noticed how women get better and better looking as they grow older? There may be a limit to this phenomenon, but among people in my approximate generation (friends from teenage to thirties), it seems to be true lately. I'm quite serious, and have no alterior motive for saying this; it's just something I've noticed.
Secondly, songs that have the word "breathe" in the lyrics bother me--a lot. This morning I heard two of them back to back on the radio. I seriously cannot figure out why anybody would put that word in a song; I also can't figure out why I dislike it so much; I just know that I do. The only song that I actually remember liking that has the word "breathe" in it is Vienna Teng's Feather Moon, and the words to that song are pretty nonsensical throughout; I like it anyway because the music is so artfully inventive that it makes up for the meaningless set of words. Other than that I've never heard another song containing that word that has good enough music to make up for it (in my opinion, of course).
