Odd Bits

I’ve had all sorts of odd bits to share and as I sit here writing this up, they seemed to have dissipated. The weather has warmed up but my body refuses to believe it and I’ve been running cold all week. Hmmm, feels like a spring cold is fast approaching.

It’s Friday, my favorite day of the week and I’m trying to put together some plans to go out tonight. Alas, I am the fickle type, one minute I’m up for going (want to check out some live music); the next I want to go home with a good bottle of wine to curl up on the couch and read Mike Carey’s The Devil You Know. So I’ve called for back-up. Music is still a strong component right now so perhaps I won’t need to strong arm someone into coming along. We shall see how it pans out.

So the other day, I read a writer’s blog and she wrote about the three book deal she just signed. My green-eyed monster came out. Every time something good happens for one of us (creative writer types) there is this little petty fire-breathing dragon that comes out in its wake. The rational part of me thinks it’s fantastic. The dragon part wraps my insides up tight with craving-want. I know I’m not the only writer that has ever felt that way so I won’t add any guilt or shame for feeling this way. Rather, I just acknowledge that it’s there so I can move on. Writing this up right now even makes me giggle a bit. Because the jealousy is not coming from a rational place. I have a strong desire to finish the two projects that I’m working on but they have taken a lot longer than I have anticipated. I’m impatient but I know I just have to keep plugging away at it. How else will these projects come to fruition?

Anyway, that’s all I have...now I’m off to listen to some head-thrashing punk music.

Rock on people!!

Zola Jesus is Amazing!!

Let’s see the suggestions I’ve received have ranged from Robin Thicke (really?) to The Black Keys (solid group) to Zola Jesus.  Gotta say that I’m stoked on Zola.  Her music is very theatrical and I’ve already found a few favorites.  Her way of singing was a bit strange for me at first but the more I listened the more I was intrigued.   I was given Vessel as the video to watch and it’s crazy good.  But I have to say…SKIN is AMAZING!!  The song breaks my heart into a million pieces...this is one I can lose myself in.  So today I will be listening to everything I can find on this artist.  Her sound reminds me of Florence + The Machine which isn't a bad thing.  How much do I love women that can wail!!!  Peace~
