I made it back to Btown. It's still really odd not having to go to work or classes. Every so often I stop and spaz thinking I am missing work.
I sorted through some things at my parents to see if there was anything I needed or wanted before the big move.
Now that I got it out here, I have resorted through some of it and got rid of a couple things.
Still need to get rid of a bed and a couple of chairs.
My new apartment called to let me know my application had been approved.... I had called them over a month ago to see if they had gotten all my paperwork and she told me then that I had been approved, that the lady I had been working with had been on vacation all week.
Fast forward and she is just getting around to calling me. Since I had her on the phone i asked about utilities and things, and she was all "You don't have any information on them yet?" Uh no. Moving 690 miles, why would I. So I asked her to give them to me, so now I need to set that up. yippie.

When I was at the parent's I went to my hometown library and picked up some CD's one was Seal's new album System. To be honest I had completely forgotten it had come out. I like Seal, I have since the very beginning, but unlike some bands he falls into the group that I own all or most of their albums and like all of them I just don't keep up with them. Train falls into that group too. Anyway, back to System... it's really good. Not that I wasn't expecting it to be, I think it's just that every time I hear Seal, I remember how fantastic he is and wonder why I don't listen to him more often.

Today I get to take my cherry tree out of hibernation. When I was in DC I bought a grow-a-cherry-tree kit.I hope it grows, but my expectations are pretty low. It has spent a month in the fridge - per the directions and I get to take it out today. If all goes well I figure it will be years that I can keep repotting it in bigger pots and by the time I am settled down and ready to buy a house it will be big enough to go in a yard.
Speaking of repotting - two of my shamrocks got replanted when I was home this weekend.  I asked the parents to try not to kill them.

Did I tell you I got super-fantastic luggage for graduation? I did. It's super-fantastic. I have never had a real suitcase before. I have always carried duffles, but I figured since I have a big girl job now, big girl luggage might be appropriate. When I get motivated I will take a picture for you.

Well I think that is everything for now, the wind has left my sails.

Not being able to browse my album collection, this was the only one I could think of that seemed to stick out as one that I really liked.

Placebo swg

It's Placebo's Sleeping with Ghosts album

What were your top 10 favorite songs or albums of 2007?

Ouch...

Songs
Feist - 1234

Once upon a time I could have filled that list up several times over, but I have really quit listening to the radio.

Show us a musical instrument.

I played one for about 3 months. After I quit everyone told me it was the hardest instrument to learn for a beginner.

What's your musical horoscope?  (Put your player on shuffle and write down the first 10 songs that come up.)

You would think I, a reading of horoscopes and a lover of music, would have heard of a musical horoscope. But indeed I have not. What all exactly does this mean?

 

For What its Worth, Buffalo Springfield
Love Me Tender, Lilo & Stitch Sndk
Hey, Hanson
More, More, More, Kylie Minogue
Rock and Roll All Nite, Kiss
One Sweet Day, Mariah Carey
Break Me, Shake Me, Savage Garden
Must Get Out, Maroon 5
Train, Train
Sleeping With Ghosts, Placebo

Believe me, looking at these titles I can apply some to my day.  Like this!

For What its Worth - my paper I am writing. And what is it worth? 35% of my grade and I think I am going to tank it.
Love Me Tender - not likely.
Hey - Its more like "Hey!" as in "Hey! you freaking bastard stay out of my effin way!" or "Hey! is it really almost 9 pm and I don't have my paper finished?"
More, More, More - what my professors want. And what Ticketmaster wants. Greedy bastards, the lot of 'em
Rock and Roll All Nite - the only way to keep me up long enough to finish my paper. And possibly what I am doing tomorrow night.
One Sweet Day - December 14th. When all of my papers are turned in and my finals complete. Better yet, May 3rd when I graduate.
Break Me, Shake Me - pretty much how I am feeling right now.
Must Get Out - I can't even begin on how right this may be.
Train - I dunno. My cellphone ringtone is Long Train Running and I can hope that Hanson covers it tomorrow. And there is one that runs through town.
Sleeping With Ghosts - no. sorry, since I didn't get the number for the guy at the Bluebird, I am sleeping alone.

sometimes I am such an over achiever when it comes to QotD.

Do you tend to like music in particular genres, or are your tastes all over the place?  What are your most and least favorite musical genres?

Its all over. Way all over. But a good pop song always makes me happy. The classics that i grew up with make me happy.

Hard core rap is probably my least favourite. Not to say I don't have some on my iTunes, but not a lot.
But I'll listen to everything.

Audio/Video: Share a great use of a song in a commercial.

There is just something about it that seems... right.

Music-wise, what was the first 45, single or download you bought? 
Submitted by Paddy Melt Wagon.

I actually don't really remember.
I had the Ghostbusters theme on a 45 but I think that might have come in a Happy Meal.

I am pretty sure I didn't have an cassette singles.

So it might have Savage Garden. Okay I am 98% sure it was.

I think it was I Want You

Iwy

And then To the Moon and Back
