Unemployment and a month (going on 2) stuck in a small condo with my parents in a place so un-me (and so far from anyone else I know) as Miami Beach is leading me deeper and deeper into a most unfavorable state. Not that I don't love them, but I need a break, or at least something to occupy my time.
I give you the Animals (a hit during the Vietnam War...thank you for adding this song to my repertory, "Popular Music of the Vietnam War" capstone paper! That was a good decision on my part):

Directions
Every time my navigation says "turn slightly right," Queen ensues:
- "I'm Going Slightly Mad," album: Innuendo
Which reminds me: I love Sirius satellite radio for the Classic Vinyl station, but they are seriouously lacking in the Mercury/May dept. Let's trade some Bob Seger or Jimmy Buffet out for one of the greatest bands of all time. What do you say?
In further news, it's been about 14 days since I've utilized my iPod. I MUST BE going slightly mad!
These directions are given to me upon my return from Scuba-ing in Key Largo. Which means my head then begins playing The Beach Boys' "Kokomo:"
"Key Largo, Montego, baby why don't we go..."
And yes, this is the muppet version. Why? B/c they introduced me to this greatness when I was a wee little girl. It's absolute brilliance both ways.

Send my regards from Kihei
I've been spending the last 3 days scuba diving and surfing in Kihei. This, of course, means that I've had Israel Kamakawiwo'ole's "Somewhere Over the Rainbow/What a Wonderful World." And yes, it is a wonderful world I'm livin' in (ignore this: feline feminine fantastical women...).

How Am I Not Myself?

- I love music. I think I'm addicted, though I've never gone long enough without it to know if I'll have withdrawals or not. There's definitely a mad rush of dopamine when I hear it, and a dopamine overflow when I see it live. I'll be posting my songs/artists of the day anytime I am moved to do so. This happens pretty often, whether it's a new song I've just heard, an old song I've rediscovered, or a show that I just went to. In terms of genre, anything goes. I must warn you, however, that I've been really into chill stuff lately: stuff that relaxes and refreshes me. I have a theory that this is due to my current stress level, but we'll see how it plays out in the long-run. I believe that if you listen to these artists/songs in the right context, they can have absolutely positive effects on your being. DISCLAIMER: If you're not into the songs I post, don't write the artists off based on those alone, because many of them have quite the range of style & emotion. So welcome to my world of music. My hope is that you might find music that will become meaningful to you. At least, that's what my life is all about.
