I am moved! Not unpacked, but moved. And possessed of some very generous, incredible friends and family.
You will have to imagine the pictures I didn’t get a chance to take of my old place: the 1940′s doorknobs, the weathered wood bottoms of kitchen drawers, sunlight honeying the wood floors. And you’ll have to wait for pictures of my new place, because right now it’s a minefield of boxes and crumpled newspaper.
In a turn of events I’m sure you didn’t expect (I know I didn’t), my new-February-songs are Chris Brown’s “With You” (or the “hearts all over the world” song, as I think of it — a little sadly, since YMJ only offers a 30-second clip) and Akon’s “Shake Down”. I know, right? I blame the former on the hip-hop dance class I took at the gym last week. The latter would have to be the club Sara and I went to, the one that started all the faxing. It’s bopping music. As is, lord help me, Britney Spears’ “Piece of Me”.

Have you even tried listening to them? They’re boppy! It’s not my fault! They have billions of people writing these songs, people who know how to make them all infectious! Crack-injecting song-writers! Who can be proof against that 100% of the time?

They sound a little country to me. ;-)
But no, I understand the evils of pop radio. I’m sure you will stand strong! Related to music, I turned on the TV yesterday just as VH1 started playing the video for “Falling Slowly”, that song from Once (which I still haven’t watched). Such a great song.
