I actually like this song

I’m sick, y’all.  And not in a good way.  I’m sick in a sinus infection, coughing a lung up, can’t hardly stand it anymore kind of way.

I got sick at the tail end of vacation, which sucks, but at least I had a few days left to rest.  So, I spent 2 days laying on the couch with my dog, watching movies and sleeping and reading and sleeping.  Then back to work, but still sick, so it’s basically working and sleeping.  This is the first time I’ve even opened my computer since last Friday morning, 6 days ago – and to be honest, I made myself do it.  What I really want is to lay down again.  I mean, I’ve been up a full 3 hours already!  Enough is enough.

But I decided to pop in and do something I’ve never done before, which is post a video link that’s not mine.  Just because I like it.

What I was reading those first days was Entertainment Weekly (I have a big unread stack of them, which is why I’m not allowed to subscribe to magazines).  I was working my way backward and finally got to one about Amy Winehouse’s death.  I hadn’t heard her voice before, that I knew of, and to be honest, I just always assumed that I wouldn’t like her music.  But I was curious, so I started looking the songs up on my phone.  Mostly I was right.  Her voice is good, but…just not my kind of music.

Except this one:

I just love this song!  I can’t get enough of it.

It’s a shame about Amy Winehouse.  I may not particularly like any of the other music I heard, and I went through a lot of YouTube video trying to find more songs I would like.  But she clearly had a talent.

It’s just a shame, the things we do to ourselves.  I may not have a drug problem, but I do plenty of other detrimental things.  Even just through negligence.

Once Upon a Time, I Could Multi-Task.

I’ll give you an example:  Laundry. I turn the water on and pour the detergent in.  Then I give it a few minutes to fill, so I can swish it around and mix it up.  Is that necessary?  I don’t know.  But it’s what I do.  The swishy is pretty much the only part I enjoy.  I will swish.  Meanwhile… continue reading…

My Totally Inconsequential Earthquake Experience

For those of you who are used to earthquakes, you’ll just have to bear with me.  I live in Virginia and we’re simply not accustomed to that kind of thing.  I was in my thirties before I experienced my first quake, a lowly 3.1 or something.  And that was soon enough for me.  That measly little three-pointer would have lasted me a lifetime.  Think 100 by 100.  An interesting thing to experience, but I was in no hurry for it. continue reading…

You like me! You really like me!

I have been called plenty of names in my life.  And some of them were even nice.  I was recently called a Versatile Blogger by thesinglecell, who is a smart, talented, funny, insightful and all around wonderful human being.  And I really, truly, honestly mean that, from the depths of my bloggy little heart. continue reading…
