The months just roll by don't they?
I think
s'bout time I post a little life update.
The new apartment is just about feeling like a home now. I've got much of the unpacking done at this point. Barring a pile of luggage,
doggie crates, 21"
tv and stand, box of books/photos and various odds and ends banished not-so-inconspicuously to a corner of my bedroom. I've lovingly dubbed it "
Madame Trash Heap". It's likely to be there for a while, til I can figure out how to sell some stuff on e-bay or Craig's List.
Porthos and Cole are with me this week, and I'm happy to have them. It's amazing how happy they are to see me after a week. They just overdose on attention for the entire first night, and then sorta settle into the routine much quicker than they did before. When they're with Ted, they've got him home all day, every day, but when they're with me, they have to adjust to my schedule of not being home all day. It makes me feel awful but I try to compensate with lots of walks. Oh... and peanut butter. And I pretty-much restrict myself to a life of "
hermititude" in the evenings while I have them. Although.... now that my apartment looks like a home... I can have guests!
Anyone wanna stop by and see me? : )
Blah... not very interesting for a first post in well-over a month, but it's the best I can do for today.
Discovered a fantastic not-so-new artist recently: "Skye Edwards". She's the former lead singer of a band called "
Morcheeba". Her solo debut is called "Mind How You Go", and I love it. It's
acoustic, yet electronic, thought-provoking and tender. Her voice is soothing and emotive.
I'm posting the lyrics to one of her songs called "Stop Complaining", but if you'd like to hear her, I'd recommend clicking
"HERE" to watch her awesome, awesome, awesome video called "What's Wrong With Me". I was going to post the lyrics to that, but they're really depressing and I didn't want to go there. : )
"Stop Complaining" by Skye
I don't know why but I can't seem to find the right melody today
I can't make the words fit how I feel
I don't know when was the last time that I slept the whole night through
And when morning comes around I feel tired
I woke up from the strangest dream
With a dancing dog and a beauty queen
They said nothing
Nada
NienteI'm empty
But you're here and I'm here
so I stop complaining
It could be raining
And I see the answer in your eyes
You're here and I'm here
I keep on singing
Just keep on singing
Singing
Do you know why I can't seem to find the right melody today
Can't make the words fit how I feel
Do you know when was the last time that I slept the whole night through
Another morning comes around I feel tired
I drive down to the rodeo
Gonna ride a bull in a video but nothing
Nada
NienteI'm still empty
But you're here and I'm here
so I stop complaining
It could be raining
And I see the answer in your eyes
You're here and I'm here
I keep on singing
Just keep on singing
Singing
Singing
Just keep on singing
Singing
Singing
Singing
Singing
Singing
Singing
