There is a radio station that has been playing Same Old Lang Syne for at least 24 hours now.  Before that it was repeating Alice's Restaurant by Arlo Guthrie.  Before that it was playing Christmas music, which is why I have the station saved.  Now I don't really want to listen to Guthrie or Folgelberg, but I'm insanely curious about what the hell ( Read more... )

So, I'm still not writing every day, although I'm getting better.  I hope that it is at least somewhat apparent that I am using this journal as a means to hone my writing skills, in addition to its uses as a memory keeper and friend link.  Granted, I rarely re-read the entries nowadays-- not before posting, that is-- so I'm sure there are ( Read more... )

I thought of some other song obsessions: You're My Flame by Zero 7, Be Still My Heart by the Postal Service, Umbrella by Rhianna, and Souls Like the Wheels by the Avett Brothers.  Right now I cannot stop listening to Snails by The Format.

Lindsey's graduation was oh so much fun.  I left several hours after work on Friday, called Graham upon my ( Read more... )

Happy Fat Tuesday, everyone!  Lent starts tomorrow, and I'm so very excited!  I think I'm more excited this year than ever before... not for the coming weeks, so much, as for the celebration at the end.  It's usually one of my favorite services of the year.  I am actually excited about the forty days to come, though.  For those of you who don't ( Read more... )

Oh, my.  Harris and William are running in circles around the dinning room table.  They've been at it for at least ten minutes.  Harris, who is about 13 months, is dizzy, I think, because he keeps falling and laughing; William's falling some, too, and now he's switched directions.  They're so funny ( Read more... )

I have a slight headache.  Hopefully it will go away soon.  This weekend was fun...I babysat Friday night, and then went home to enjoy some merriment with J-Money, O'Bizzle, Lance, and Jonathan.  Umm, we need more nicknames.  Anyway, we decided to go to Walmart on a midnight run for Crabs.  That was quite exciting.  Quite.  The night, overall, was ( Read more... )

I can't seem to get enough of the story people.  I read a few new ones every time I get online, but I don't mind reading the old ones either.  Brian Andreas = Amazing.

Brokeback Mountain has come to Florence, Alabama.  Careful, we might just all burst into flames.  Apparently this news was on the front page of the paper because some churches ( Read more... )

LIGHT

I CAN SEE LIGHT SLOW DOWN.
I CAN SEE IT TWIST AND TURN AND
THEN SHOOTING UP AND SIDEWAYS
OUT OF VISION.

IT'S A TEST YOU KNOW.
SOMETIMES THERE ARE TESTS.

SOMETIMES YOUR GETTING THROUGH LIFE AND
HANDLING CORNERS AND
VISION BLURS AND "OOPS"
AND THERE YOU ARE.
LIFE THROWS THAT CORNER.

SEEMS TO ME IT STINKS.
IT SUCKS.

SEEMS TO ME THAT SOMETIMES
THINGS NEED TO ( Read more... )

My kittens almost made it 24 hours without making me clean the carpet.  Almost.  So let's keep our fingers crossed... speaking of... still no word on if I get to keep them or not, although I really think they're going to let me... out of site, out of mind, really, and since Mom and Dad are never over here... hope for the best.  I got ( Read more... )
