Twee Pop and Other Things

Okay, I owe you some songs, but more than that I owe you some actual entries. Problem with that is that there's not a whole lot going on right now.

Mostly it's just work, school, work, school, bike ride home, homework, sleep.
Day in and day out.
Not that there's anything wrong with that, I'm a big fan of tightly packed schedules myself, but it doesn't make for very interesting entries.
Though, I don't really suppose you're reading this because it's terribly interesting, are you? *laughs*

Well, the weather here is still miserable. It's consistently 110+, it's humid like swamp-country, and at the peak of allergy season. There's so much pollen in the air that between it and the humidity breathing becomes a challenge.

As a result I've taking to wearing leggings instead of pants full time. I know, I know, I hate it too. But at least I don't want to kill myself, or worse yet, feel compelled to strip down for the long bike ride home. To my credit though, I do wear either shirts that come to mid thigh, or dresses over my leggings, so the world is not forced to stare at my butt in what, in all actuality, are probably little more than opaque tights.

I also feel like I NEED to start taking a camera to school with me. You would not believe what kids are wearing these days. (Is my age showing? Eeep!) But seriously, I think I can top the walking blueberry scandal of 2010 in a couple of days. People are so weird! And amazing! The things I've seen Dear Friend, you wouldn't even believe me if I told you.

My online calculus class is shaping up to be a bit more of a pain in the butt than I had anticipated, but that may just be because I haven't started working on anything in there yet. Currently I'm staring at a checklist of assignments a mile long asking myself where exactly I thought I was going to find the time to do all of them. We both know though that I will. . . or I won't I guess, either way. But only time will tell!

Well Sweet Emmy has been prancing about the apartment complex with her pretty teal toenails, and keeps loitering outside her boyfriend's house (he's this sweet little white pitbull with a patch over his eye), hoping he'll come out and tell her she's pretty. But it seems he's been busy lately and is almost never outside when we are. So we slink back home and sprawl out on the couch. Poor heartbroken puppy.

We haven't had any time to go fossiling, in fact the last time we went was a couple of days after you left. Since then the weather's been uncooperative and we've been busy. God I hate saying that. UGH! Oh well. The archaeology season starts up soon so before long here we'll be slinging mud on Saturdays, working to repair/maintain archaeological sites around the state...which will be ALMOST as cool as fossil hunting. Almost.

Well that's all I know lovely, for now anyway. I'm surprised I managed to type all of that since I haven't even had my morning coffee yet! *laughs* Anyway, here are two songs, one for today and one for yesterday.

It's a Twee Pop kind of morning so come sing some light little happy songs with me. :) Lots of love.



"This is the last time that I'll wish you dead
I think I've decided to like you instead
I'll throw away the letters that I never meant to send
'cause now I've got more love to give than to end
therefore this time I mean it
this time will stick
you're easy to like when you're not making me sick..."


And one for yesterday!




"Let's get out of this country
I'll admit I am bored with me
I drowned my sorrows and slept around
When not in body at least in mind
We'll find a cathedral city
You can convince me I am pretty

We’ll pick berries and recline
Let’s hit the road dear friend of mine
Wave goodbye to our thankless jobs
We’ll drive for miles maybe never turn off
We’ll find a cathedral city
You can be handsome I’ll be pretty"
