Why did I tell my boss I'd be in at 5 am today? I think I have a problem saying "no" to people. 5-1:30, and she wanted me to stay longer. At around 12 I knew I wouldn't be able to funtion much longer, I was begining to feel delirius. I have no idea if that's how you spell that and I don't care. It's now almost 8pm and I've taken a nap, which only succeeded in making me feel hungover and gave me heartburn. The yoga I was so looking forward to doing tonight will have to be postponed until the morning. There's no way I can balance right now. I haven't been this tired since...well, probably last week, but it's a different kind of feeling when you have to get up really early as opposed to staying up really late. It must have to do with the sun. I was at work for 2 hours before the sun started to come up and that's just unnatural. It messed with my ceratonin levels.
Enough about sleep or lack there of. I forgot my cds this morning and only had 1 in my car, so I listened to it over and over on my headphones at work. It was Rilo Kiley's "Take Offs And Landings" and to say I've heard it before would be an understatement, but it never had the same bite as "More Adventurous", until today. I've said this for a long time and I stand by it. If you want to get really familiar with a cd you must listen to it repeatedly with headphones on. It helps even more if you smoke some pot. You're forced to listen and pay attention to things you might not have heard on a stereo. Jenny Lewis' voice is so perfect in an un-perfect way. I love hearing little imperfections in my favorite artists. It makes them human and the music beautiful and unique. I can't explain exactly what I mean, you just have to hear it to appriciate it. So heres a summer homework assignment. Get a copy of Take Offs and Landings, it may be a little hard to find. Try a big independant record store, like Finder's in BG (hands down the best record store in Northwest Ohio. They've had everything I've ever went there to look for), or you go online, but I will beat you with a stick if you download and don't pay (Andrea!). Anyway, get a copy somewhere, put on the headphones, smoke 'em if you got 'em, and enjoy. Special attention to...the whole damn thing. I'm looking at the titles, and I kid you not, I can't figure out which is my favorite. It's like picking between your kids. Peace out.
