brightbluegirlOk, so I'm at work, bad hair day and all. But I can't really care. Today is day 7 of my 7 day work week, I've been here for half an hour, and I'm already counting down the hours until I get home.
I burned a CD for Caric and I really like it. So much so that I'm burning a copy for us as well. It's kind of post-rock-y/electronic-y. The thought I had was that I wanted to burn this super visceral cd, full of the kind of music that makes my stomach go funny and my knees weak. The kind of music that makes me feel like a superhero.
The first song is Konception, the last, Emerge. I called it viscereality. I'm so nifty-keen.
The songs are:
Konception - Plastikman
[Untitled] - God Speed, You Black Emperor!
Help Us Stay Alive - Explosions in the Sky
ifish - Halou
Stay With Me - Shakespeares Sister
When Day Chokes the Night - Do Make Say Think
Windowlicker - Aphex Twin
Rocks in Your Head - Sybarite
Politik - Coldplay
There's More to Life Than This - Bjork
Stop Whispering - Radiohead
Emerge - Adult remix of Fischerspooner
Anyway. It's rare that I'm so happy with a CD I burned that I talk about it. They tend to be shit. At the time that I'm creating them, I'll think it's great, fun, even eclectic. Afterwards, I'll be like "What the hell was I thinking, putting the sesame street song next to Punk Rock Girl next to I'm every woman? I don't even LIKE I'm every woman!!!!!!!"
But I digress.
Last night really wasn't much... I biked home from work, we ate a spectacular dinner (bbq chicken, baked potato, and cabbage salad with almonds..... mmmmm......), we walked down to the co-op to get Organic Thousand Island Dressing, and were STUNNED by the beauty we saw.
We found a little house we'd never seen before, on the road we always walk. A sweet little bungalow with trees and bushes all around, with a garden gate we could just see through the ivy.
We happened to look at the mountains at just the right time, as they were kissed by the setting sun. It took my breath away.
We've been through the pink flowering trees and the white flowering trees, and now we're into the purple flowering tree season. Well, there's also these other gorgeous pink flowering trees, but what stunned us was the trees with the magenta flowers that grew everywhere on them... even the trunk. And the trees with purple flowers that hung over this one house, in the corner. Delicious.
And I had calories left in my day, and even if it's unhealthy thing to eat a lot of sugar, we stopped at Flying Star and I had Strawberry cheesecake that melted in my mouth and he had strawberry/rhubarb pie. We wanted to stay and chat for awhile, but I got soooo tired, just out of nowhere.
So we walked home, instead.
Back at home I called my brother and we chatted for awhile, and then went to bed. I slept REALLY well.
I love nights like that. I *love* our life right now so much that my heart threatens to burst from the strain of holding it in.

Hey! I LIKE "I'm Every Woman."
Date: 2003-04-07 02:23 pm (UTC)I don't know why you were so worried. I don't have any of the songs on display here (with the exception of Bjork, of course, and it's my favorite too); but even if I did, it's all about context for me. Like most things. Put a familiar song in a new setting and it sounds completely new.
This really looks incredible. I can't wait to hear it. Give.
