I can't stop listening to this song. It creeped in and won't let go.

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!!

Writing Update part deux and a groovy tune.
I've spent the last couple of weeks mulling in the back of my brain the problems with Indigo. I would jot a line, a note but it stayed on the shelf. I've been working on the play, listening to music, reading, I even went to see Hunger Games on Sunday. Very cool thing to watch to get my creative juices flowing again.
Then I had an idea and spent time restructuring the arc of the story. Moving chapters around so the historical aspects are coming up earlier. Painting a clearer picture of the social landscape. It's very exciting. I can barely stop smiling and doing a little James Brown side shuffle from time to time. I haven't quite started shouting out Yea! just quite yet but I can feeling it bubbling up. :-)
I don't feel quite so pathetic at the moment. Hehehe. If you wait five minutes, I'm sure that it'll pass. *giggling *
One more little bit...in my quest for some new tunes, I came across the following song: Facing the Sun by Fritz Kalkbrenner. I know it's a couple of years old but I like the laid back sound of it. It's definitely not the thrashing music that I'm fond of at the moment but I thought folks might enjoy it.
Peace,
