Blood For Poppies

I know it’s been awhile since I last wrote. Hmmm, I can only blame it on this pesky chest cold, * cough, cough * It took me out of commission late last week and I’ve been trying to stay warm, in this icebox of an office, wrapped in a thick flow-y sweater and drinking lots of hot tea. I can feel the stirrings of Spring fever as I sit here listening to some tunes from Chicago (the Broadway musical) on Pandora music. The jazzy vibe from the music is intoxicating today.

Yes, I have a soft spot for Broadway musicals. Hello? it makes sense, I love music. Wish I could hold a tune better because I’d be out there peddling myself as a musician. But alas, the gods chose to make me a shy, wilting wallflower. BAH! That last sentence made me laugh out loud. Maybe my next collaboration will be for a Broadway musical. Good golly miss molly....that is a huge undertaking that my poor sickly constitution can’t quite allow me to wrap my head around. But wouldn’t it be fantastic!! It would have to be a love story...but whose? Perhaps it can be part cabaret with a story threading its way thru a series of songs and dances. Yes, my wheels are turning. That’s going to have to be for another day though. My to-do list seems to be growing by the day.

I am in the process of pulling my writing portfolio together so I can start sending it out to some NYC studios again. I need to find a full time gig preferably writing for television. I’ve spent enough time spinning my wheels trying to finish this novel. Right now I wish I had my laptop here so I can pull strong scenes from plays I’ve written. I also need to convert some video footage from VHS to digital to burn DVDs to include in that packet of work that I’ve put up. It’s going to be a full-on package of works produced by yours truly. I am excited and very nervous. I have giant butterflies in my stomach just thinking about.

So my song choice for today is Garbage, Blood For Poppies.

I love Shirley Manson’s voice and OMG! Duke Erikson's bass playing on this album is sick. I keep listening to it just to listen to the man riff. I can’t wait for their album to drop. I looked up tour dates and sure enough tickets are already sold out to their concert in NYC. I am a day late and a dollar short. Story of my life....

Rock on people...rock on!!
