rabies = zombies

i have been inspired! listen to this episode of This American Life, specifically the first story about the raccoon. i think we may have something here...we could turn it into a commentary on ecology/the environment/urban sprawl.

did you know that electrons have mass?

i didn't even know they were catholic!

what not to do

i put the coke in the freezer in an attempt to chill it fast. i told myself i wouldn't forget about it. i woke up to this.

that was harder than it looked

* carpenters - i love karen carpenter's voice. it also hails back to my fear and consequential high school obsession with aliens

* yankee doodle - don't you laugh. it ALWAYS gets stuck in my head. i think it's the rhythm of my own walking

* calling you - this is for ian and me "our song"

* three days grace - transformed me from the college goodie two-shoes into someone to whom my youth kids could relate as i realized that people became punks for a reason, usually

* chevelle - my favorite band. had to choose a song. figured it might as well be ian's ringtone.

* heal the world - among the many eco songs they made us sing in high school that helped me become the hippie i am today

* matchbox 20 - just expressing my love for superman

* why georgia - always expressed my constant desire, as an ingrained transient, to pack up and leave without notice. i used to imagine loading my laptop, guitar, and a few items of clothes into my backseat and taking off.

*bulls on parade - one of the first songs that turned me onto my lifelong obsession with rock band. of course, this song was in guitar hero 3, but you get the idea.

* scarborough fair - probably the first song i learned to play on guitar. and the name of my rock band 2 band!
