i got two cds from two different people for my birthday, and i am loving them both. one is the norah jones cd, which is too slow to listen to at work but is just right for winding down in the evening. the other is the newest sister hazel cd that i never would have discovered for myself but is totally my kind of cd. i dunno if it’s intentional or not, but she definitely knows my taste in music.
there is a verse that goes “i’m not right / i’m not fine / i wanna be rain that tastes like wine / i wanna be good / i wanna be great / i wanna be anything except for your mistake“… i love the line about rain that tastes like wine. i dunno why. it’s probably because i just like the music. i had this conversation over the weekend. a lot of people listen to songs for the lyrics, and i do sometimes. but often i find myself singing either depressing or downright dumb lyrics, and realize that i never paid attention to the words at all and that i’m just singing it because i like the tune. i think it’s a byproduct of being in band forever, and not chorus, but who knows.
speaking of cds and stuff, i just remembered the fact that john mayer and counting crows are going to tour together this summer. ah, i’m in heaven.
we had our first softball game of the season last night and i am so excited because i played really well! i went 2-for-3 with two doubles, two rbis, and two runs scored!! i was so excited; i never play that well. both my hits were legitimate hits too, not errors on the other team–both hits went straight down the third base line just beyond the reach of the third baseman. woohoo! maybe i am starting to have some athletic talent after all. yay.
becca’s computer just went haywire in a way unlike anything i’ve ever seen before. it started flashing alternately green and yellow screens. very weird.
