Zeitgeist-- Smashing Pumpkins. Rocks. My. Face.

a little hunger
a little wonder of
death from above

death from above

oh mary mary
what are we askin of
death from above

yes love im sinkin
i wonder just how far
what was i thinkin
of when i fell apart


i see the moon move
cover me under the spell
i see the few souls
cover me hungry and cold

i know the first thing
running up under your path
i know this can't last
death from above

shoot here comes
death from above

a little reject
a simple conjure of
death from above


yes love im sinkin
i hunger where you are
whats left but notice
to notice just how far

i see the moon light
cover me under the spell
i see the few souls
beggin bury us now

i know the valleys
running up under my path
i know the (spare leaves ?)
death from above

oh here comes death from above

oh lord im sinking
i just dont know how far
its death from above


yes love im sinking
i hunger where you are
death from above

death from above

yes lord im thinking of
death from above

yes lord im thinking of
death from above

I had some really great concept in my head last night before I went to sleep and I totally lost it by the time I woke up. I really wish I didn't have to work today because I really feel some musings to write-- both about trivial things and possibly less trivial things. Not to mention...I have 2 papers, a final, a portfolio, and sound editing to complete. It's going to be a long day. Plus, there's so much fun holiday stuff going on, I just want to do all that and none of this. Alas. :-P

Romeo and Juliet recordings have gone well. I appreciate all my friends and their help on this project. Luchsingers concert went AMAZING...I was so pleased with the turnout and the performance. It's been a long week for Rex and Olivia because her mom passed unexpectedly. Bless his heart, baby boy has been good-- we hung out Friday night and he was awesome during the service. He loves him some bath time! There are bath toys all over my house.

Courtney moved, so I'm looking for a roommate currently...I think I need a college student (I'd prefer it at least)...I'd like this process to be done with, to say the least. Anyway...
went to see "Season's Greetings" at the Alliance...hung out with director/cast, etc. after-- had tons of fun.

Anyway, this seems like a diary entry and I thought of something I was going to write. I hurt my finger last week at work and typing makes it throb. Amazing timing...
Peace, love, and hope.

love her!

"There were always in me, two women at least, one woman desperate and bewildered, who felt she was drowning and another who would leap into a scene, as upon a stage, conceal her true emotions because they were weaknesses, helplessness, despair, and present to the world only a smile, an eagerness, curiosity, enthusiasm, interest." -Anais Nin

Best prof on the planet

Okay, So Betty Scott Noble, with a million titles, is officially the best professor on the planet. She rocks so hard and so loud. I must go into more detail at a later date.

I just bought a bunch of music on itunes and I'm really excited about it. I got Ryan Adams' Rock and Roll-- and numbers 4 and 5 rock my face off. "cotton candy and a rotten mouth-- you know you're so fucked up-- you know I couldn't help but have it for you..." and "Watched the boats in the harbor...I am on your side, always on your side"....love Ryan so much!

Happy/loud music:
Hooray for Me (Bad Religion)
The Middle (Jimmy Eat World)
I'm gonna be (500 Miles)- Proclaimers
Umbrella- Rihanna
Shut up and drive-Rihanna
I'm gonna be alright- Jlo

Sad/quieter:
Nothing compares 2U- Sinead
Better man (Pearl Jam)
Hate that I love you- Rihanna
Say it Right- Nelly Furtado
BEst of you-- Foo Fighters (well, it's loud and sad)

Okay, so I love these songs all for a bunch of different reasons. It makes me happy to have them. THE MIDDLE has been a theme song of mine for a couple YEars now. Crazy!

If you don't love me, let me go

this is a decemberists song: the only one I know:

I'm an engine driver
On a long run, on a long run
Would I were beside her
She's a long one, such a long one

And if you don't love me let me go
And if you don't love me let me go

I'm a county lineman
On the high line, on the high line
So will be my grandson
There are powerlines in our bloodlines

And if you don't love me let me go
And if you don't love me let me go

And I am a writer, writer of fictions
I am the heart that you call home
And I've written pages upon pages
Trying to rid you from my bones

My bones
My bones

I'm a money lender
I have fortunes upon fortunes
Take my hand for tender
I am tortured, ever tortured


And if you don't love me let me go
And if you don't love me let me go

And I am a writer, writer of fictions
I am the heart that you call home
And I've written pages upon pages
Trying to rid you from my bones
I am a writer, I am all that you have hoped on

And I've written pages upon pages
Trying to rid you from my bones
My bones
My bones

(And if you don't love me let me go)
And if you don't love me let me go
(And if you don't love me let me go)
And if you don't love me let me go

this is not a very creative post...I'll go somewhere with it oneday...I'm actually not sad right now, I'm really happy. Very ancy (how do you spell ancy?), but happy. My wise Janet Aunt said something to me yesterday including the line, "if you don't love me, let me go"-- and I guess I'm brought (probably) to a U2 or CM (how do you tell someone) or REM (everybody hurts) song...where exactly does that love go? I mean, where did it come from? If you are calling nouns, they are persons, places, things, and ideas-- and when explaining that concept to 6th graders, the example for "idea" is ALWAYS love. Love is a many splendid thing...love lifts us up where we belong. What is love? It's a thing, but it's a special thing: it's an idea. An ideal even. I'm idealistic...another talk I had recently with Janet aunt referring to a kind email I received confirmed that. I get convinced that I'm realistic when I'm down, and then I realize that my head is always in the clouds-- I'm always hoping for better things and believing that everyone shares this hope-- but it's just not true. I wish you could. I wish you could share this hope-- this idealism, because it feels good. It's a warm, glittery, flittery feeling in my heart and it feels like home.

Okay, I wasn't going to go anywhere with this, but it seems like when i have writing for a grade due, I have lots of writing in my head worth writing down and maybe even sharing. :-/
