chestnutcurlsEveryone should go buy the new issue of Elle, which has a major story about Clay, complete with stunning photos. I'm getting my copy on the way home. That darn Clay is turning me into a magazine-buying fool. :)
Last night I went to sleep at 9:30. I hadn't done that in a couple of years. I had a bad headache and was extremely tired. Today, I feel more refreshed than usual, so maybe I should make an occasional practice of it. In the night I accidentally kicked something at the foot of my bed. Then I felt tiny teeth biting my foot, realized it was Gandalf, and went back to sleep.
What are some songs that always cheer you up (for one reason or another)? I thought of that topic over the weekend.
1. Stacy's Mom - Fountains of Wayne So wrong, yet so hilarious.
2. Say It Ain't So - Weezer Actually, every Weezer song cheers me up, but this is my favorite. It's one of the greatest songs ever recorded, IMHO. And I like the harmony.
3. Harder to Breathe - Maroon 5 Come on, this is just a fun song. Though I just found out that Evan and Ryan hate it. What's up with that?
4. Come On Over - Christina Aguilera A release for my flirty side. And a much better choice than Shania Twain's "Man, I Feel Like A Woman," which I have unfortunately sung along with, enthusiastically, several times.
5. Under the Bridge - Red Hot Chili Peppers It brings back my few happy memories of middle school; plus I have to sing weirdly and dramatically to sound like him, which I can't do without laughing.
6. Dive - Steven Curtis Chapman This song always reminds me of our RUF trip to Tallahassee in 2001. We went to a place called Wakulla Springs where you jump off platforms into the water. Evan and I were too afraid to jump off the high one, so we just stood up there and watched the local pre-teens leap off happily. :) It's a great song and a happy memory.
7. Love Is A Verb - dC Talk Another song I loved in middle school.
8. What's My Name? - Snoop Doggy Dogg Wow, this is an eclectic list. Anyway, this is my favorite rap song of all time and I have no idea why.
9. Ice Cream - Sarah McLachlan One of the happiest love songs I know.
10. Save Me - Hanson Yeah, I like Hanson. Be quiet. :) This song cracks me up with its extreme melodrama. Also, I like the way Taylor sounds at the beginning of the song, so I often start it over several times before letting it run.
Gosh, that took two hours because people kept bringing me work.
