It’s snowing in Seattle and raining in Santa Clara…
Snow + Seattle + From a distance = want
Well. I haven’t the faintest idea what I would do if it did snow. I should prepare myself for that before I move up.
My favorite Etta James song: I’d Rather Go Blind
I have no more food to eat because I thought my mom would be visiting me last weekend and she could cook up a storm for me. The previous week I started eating salami sandwiches every day. This week I’ve somehow sustained myself on fruit and pita chips. It’s no wonder I’ve suddenly broken out in canker sores.
I haven’t gone to the gym in forever. One of my coworkers was really excited to announce that she finally hit four miles for her run. Suddenly my body felt more jello-y. I haven’t gone running in MONTHS now. I haven’t gone swimming in over a year and a half. I haven’t even gone to the gym for over two weeks. Sigh. Fat body.
Ok. When did this song become so famous? I heard it on a Tiesto podcast and suddenly I see it popping up EVERYWHERE, but different versions of it.
This was in an interview with Dianna Agron:
What are the 5 songs you’re loving right now?
“I put my iPod on shuffle. It picked:
1. Mark Ronson & The Business Intl., ‘Someone to Love Me’
2. Alexander, ‘Let’s Win’
3. Easybeats, ‘Friday On My Mind’
4. Theophilus London (ft. Sara Quin), ‘Why Even Try’
5. Panda Bear, ‘Tomboy’”
I only know one of the songs and I don’t even KNOW three of the bands on this list!!! I need to update my indie music knowledge. I keep thinking I need to diversify from the past two years of dance music, but whenever I try to look for new music I think it’s not dance-y enough. Seattle ruined me. It was where my high school love for dance music was revived. I vaguely reading some musician’s interview about two years ago and he was saying that indie music was beginning to have more of a dance-beat vibe. I agreed at the time but now it’s so much more obvious, just looking at the Coachella lineup. I find it very weird to have been alive and cognizant of a shift in music trends, as opposed to when I was younger and thought what I liked was just what I liked.
Ok. I was ready sleep at 10pm. Now it’s 11pm. I have to go to work tomorrow. Oddly, I think I’m enjoying work more right now than other times in the year when I would leave work at 6 or 7. I leave work at midnight and I feel ok about it. In fact, every day so far for busy season has been a pretty good day. I have really good laughs several times a day, I like all my teammates, I bring a change of clothes so after six pm I can audit in jeans and a sweatshirt for a good six hours, I don’t spend any money because I’m in an audit room all day… I kind of want to not check my bank account until my client files, and then I’ll look and can be like “HOT DAMN! SHOPPING SPREE TIME!”
