listening to the (once again) eclectic selections of music that i picked up the other day - fisherspooner and the soundtrack to confessions of a teenage drama queen - i had a brief revelation. usually i think of music with lyrics as revealing truths, whether about myself or others. but listening to a song without words, i still got the same revelation. something for me to ponder.
another shock - my sister and i actually found a musician we both like...and she was the one who found him. check out casey stratton (standing at the edge). i swore up and down at first it was a girl, but no. he's a guy and an awesome piano player to boot.
i've also been enjoying norah jones' newest and harry connick jr's only you. both fit like a glove the mellow mood i've been in lately.
strange things afoot
well, moreso than the usual ca strangeness. the weather here's been quite different than it usually is - lots of rain. san diego's really a rather arid place, and i can count on one hand the times that i remember it raining for this long. our poor backyard practically floods everytime it rains now since the ground's gotten a little saturated. as i told my mom, if it rains too much, we'll have a nifty swimming hole in the lower yard in the front of our house. wouldn't that be fun - swimming with all the gophers and ants and snakes! ;)
on the other hand, i've slept really well at night while listening to the rain fall outside the window. now you know the reason behind the mellow mood that i mentioned earlier.
dancing fool
remember my other passion that fell by the wayside a way back? it's retuned. i've started to ease back into the swing dancing scene, and i'm remembering how much i love it. the people are just so nice in the san diego scene. now if i can just get the schedule burned into my brain so i'm not disappointed when i get my nights mixed up (like tonight)...
though i'll have to start hunting for new friends - aside from dancing it seems i have very little social life at the moment. :)
