Song Of My Present

I listened to this CD during the summer right before Steven and I got together every night on my hour drive home from waiting tables. Most of the time I was normally on the phone with him.

Shucks, I'm feeling sentimental with my pending move. My apartment is a MESS! Lots to blog about if people would put up my graduation on facebook I could post some pictures!

It Won't be Long, Yeah!

Since I've been experiencing an Across the Universe obsession lately and I get so see my honey this weekend, this song basically sums up my life right now.

Vinyl Sighting

This is one of my favorite songs. I actually have this exact record! I really loved the hand and just the whole set up of the video.

I know I'm so old fashioned, but I still love records. My collection is tiny, but I've got some goodies including a version of Peter and the Wolf narrated by David Bowie! That was a great Christmas present from my manager since she knew my obsession with both Peter and the Wolf and David Bowie. Oh Bowie.

Cherokee Nation

This was one of my FAVORITE songs growing up. Did I mention grew up completely absorbed in the 60's and 70's? Dad was the only one who ever listened to a radio and that was always what was on. I still dig it.

Anywho. Long story, but I found precious little feather earrings at Target this morning. Then I couldn't get the lyric from Cher's Half Breed "give her a feather she's a Cherokee" out of my head...yeah, not sure if I'm Cherokee but I'm 1/8 something. Great-g-maw on Mom's side was full something but because everybody wanted to white-wash every amount of non-whiteness out of the family...I have no idea what tribe we are. Most tribes set limits on blood ratios, usually at 1/4. Who knows, maybe I could register if I knew. Laughs. Pipe-dream, but I always thought it was cool.

I also love to tell people that and have um double take. Cause I look nothing at all like I've got anything but the big bad German in me.

1. Like Janis Joplin, this picture is amazing

2. It has affirmed my need for "love beads."

3. And long hair, and bangles, and summer... :D

Last Dance for Mary Jane

Pandora must think that I'm obsessed with this song by Tom Petty. I am, now that Pandora has played it for me every day, multiple times, for a month. I went with a live version (not as kickin') because the music video for this song gives me the creeps...

What the heck. I know you're curious.

Country-lite

I've never been much of a country girl except for a brief fling I had with Garth Brooks in the 2nd grade and a love of the little-known (now) Bobby Gentrie when my dad got me started on records. However, lately I've really been loving Taylor Swift.

ok...now we need some Bobby Gentrie...she's love.

I think I could listen to the Beatles all day, every day...

but wait, I already do that. I don't think more than a day has gone by since this summer that I haven't listened to the Beatles... not old yet and they haven't been since my childhood.

Jack Johnson is Always Impressing Me:

I am so ready for Christmas!

I really want to get my shopping done. Next paycheck I just might have to go out and spend it on the people I love.

I want to know everyone's plan for the holidays and what are your favorite jingles of the season?

One of mine is Happy Xmas (War is Over) by John Lennon.

If you've never heard it or want to listen to it again, check it out:

Weekly Peace

1. I love this song.
2. I always think of it when Steven goes out of town.
3. The drummers face is so priceless... check out that action.

Wear Some Flowers in Your Hair.

I've had this song stuck in my head today. Maybe it's because we hope to move to San Fran when we graduate. What a childhood dream.

How ironic is it that this song is also on our new cd at work... I found that out after I originally posted this morning. Of course I freaked out. How very like me.
