the 7 songs meme

Friday, July 11th, 2008

this meme’s been everywhere but i think the most recent post i saw was mary’s. basically, you list 7 songs you’re into right now and then you tag 7 more people. i don’t tag, but i will list my 7.

1. karsh kale - beautiful

2. cat power - free

3. the creatures - the prettiest thing

4. kate bush - suspended in gaffa

5. gwen stefani - wind it up

6. nil lara - vida mas simple

7. laura marling - my manic and i

i just realized that none of these songs are newtome songs and even though the rules don’t say they have to be new, i feel like i’m jilting you somehow. so, here’s something new to me

8. vampire weekend - oxford comma

stuff

i’ve been to the library three times this week. it’s about a mile from my house to the library and there are a lot of cool houses on the way, which makes the walk there and back pretty enjoyable, especially if i remember to bring my mp3 player. walking helps me sort my thoughts and lately it feels very cluttered in my head. wouldn’t it be cool if you could just throw some old thoughts in a bag and drop them off at the goodwill? somebody must want them. so, anyway, i’m loose on the streets, sortin out my thoughts. i have to have a destination because i have to. i cannot be wandering around aimlessly. if i was gonna do that i could’ve just stayed at home and paced around the house. the library makes a good destination. i get to pick out some new books or dvds or whatever. here’s the thing; i haven’t had enough time to finish reading the books i checked out before. i have a big pile of books to read now. i need a new destination.

jewel parking lot

life without thankfulness is devoid of love and passion. hope without thankfulness is lacking in fine perception. faith without thankfulness lacks strength and fortitude. every virtue divorced from thankfulness is maimed and limps along the spiritual road. -john henry jowett

pal needs a bed-ectomy

Sunday, July 6th, 2008

m gave the dogs the gift of new bed.

misty says no real dog would ever sleep on a cushy, pillow bed and is snubbing the bed.

pal's new bed

pal says it is his sole purpose in life to become one with the bed and will only be separated from it by force. not even treats will deter him from his new purpose.

i have nothing exciting to say. so, lets talk about bad links. i hate when my links get broken. anyway, i think it’s fixed now. who knows though. the song can also be found here. and if you are not wanting to follow my silly links anymore, here’s another song by them i really like.

motivation

Thursday, July 3rd, 2008

or my lack of it.

somewhere along the line i seem to have lost my motivation. where did it go? i don’t know. i’ve been looking for it all week. i’ve not been looking hard enough, though, cuz i still don’t know where it is. i did however find a new favorite song. i love a song that makes good use of the accordion.

why waste money on ept?

You Are Probably Not Pregnant


It seems like you’re in the clear, but you should really take a test to be sure.
