Enjoying Music

For some reason I seem to enjoy music again. At the moment, I can't seem to access my iTunes (seems my shitty old computer won't turn on) and my iPod is quite ancient (like I have to carry it with both hands its so heavy).

I'm thinking about, thinking about adding a new iPod to my lists of wants and addressing my little iTunes misfortunes.

What do ya'll think about these fancy little Nano's?

Sitting Kitty

Meredith and I have been reunited. She's sitting in my lap blogging with me. I think she missed me, Meredith does not typically blog, nor sit in a lap for any period of time.

Life Is Short...

I had forgotten how much I loved this song...

Song:But the Days and Nights Are Long
Album: Sylvia Hotel
Written by: Cheryl Wheeler

Life is short, but the days and nights are long
Time will heal all these wounds
Some day soon
I'll be rising I'll be strong

But now I'm loosing all my battles
Now I'm down and dropping still
And this snow's blowing through
Like some ghost
With this blue I know too well

Broken hearts keep on beating just the same
So I guess I can too
Go through these moves
Facing forward, walking straight

But now my glance keeps drifting downward
Now my feet can't find their way
And this cold's creeping in
Through my bones
Whisperin it's here to stay

I'll bide my time, like there's any other way
It moves too slow, moves too fast
It's gone and past
And stopped entirely today

I know there's light on some horizon
But I can't see so far ahead
Patience and grace, blessed is love
I'm loosin my faith
In most of that stuff those wise men said

Let Me Sum Up A Biased Pictorial Of The 2010 Emmy's...

Mariska, Mariska & Chris...

(Err but no hottie husband Peter!)

P.S.

Because I can't stand the cuteness (and how romantic) this is...

“Mariska Hargitay, who celebrated her anniversary with husband Peter Hermann yesterday, walked the red carpet wearing the exact same hairdo she wore on her wedding day. Her Emmy dress is also inspired by her Carolina Herrera wedding dress.”
