Random Post
Okay, so in knitting news, the clapotis is coming along well. I clearly did something wrong in the set up rows, becuase when I dropped one of the stitches it came a little more unraveled than it should have, but no big, I can fix that in the end. It did not unravel completely. It is a wonderful project to knit and I am enjoying it. In theory, mindless knitting, but right now it is becoming reflective knitting. I could go into it, but read Zen and the art of knitting and you will understand.
In music news, I am so glad I found this on Youtube.
So I recently watched the first season of Gilmore Girls and I LOVE the episode where they go to the Bangles concert. This group is called the Saw Doctors (Should help Becca with here 101) Enjoy.
Okay, and just a bit of randomness. Now I am on a very tight budget now, so when I see a clearance table I am drawn to it. I am not opposed to buying something that might be a day or two past expiration (it is only me, I am not getting it for someone else) Not opposed to buying socks and underwear that might be factory seconds. Maybe even a random makeup color that I am only going to wear once or twice. But folks, there is a line that must be drawn when it comes to buying things that are clearanced and on major discount (and I saw it myself) Folks, please don't buy discounted condoms. If you are that desperate, go get the freebies at the doctors office. That is my public service announcement for today.

5 songs (okay, so I did more. SUE ME!!)
Oh this is fun, I am taking a note from becca and giving you the 5 songs that remind me of high school. I frequently say that the soundtrack to my life would be fabulous, mainly because I have that whole thing where I personalize music. So here it goes.
(I am separating into catagroeis, because I am a dork like that)
Indigo Girls
This is the Wood Song. This song really covers two points for me in High School. When I was a freshman and sophomore I went on a Work Project iwth my church. I went on this trip because my sister had gone on it in the past. It is through that trip that I learned about the Indigo Girls. It also covers my best friends in the world. As Becca mentioned, we did skip rehearsal to go and see them. This song always makes me think about the summer we spent at the Stony Creek Puppet House. A little theater in Stony Creek, CT that is literally falling apart. But working there meant so much to us. So here is to the KY trip and the Puppet house. And thank you to Amy and Emily.
"The prize is always worth the rocky ride"
"Sent me skippin my class and running from school"
"Tommy"
After the senior Prom Vik, Chris, Torello, and I went to see Tommy in New York. It rocked.
"Company" Sondheim in general
This show will always make me think of Torello. Sondheim will always bring me back to high school. This particular version is from the revival, which I got to share with all of my friends. (I am quickly becoming the female version of Bobby.
Billy Joel
He will always have a major influence in my life, and that is because of my parents. I chose this song because I wish I new it more when I was in High School, I think every high school student and teenager should know this song. (This is from his inside the actors studio, the entire thing is on Youtube. Seriously, the man is brilliant)
Sisters
"These are the TImes"
Okay, so this is the song that was played durig hte closing credits of Mystic Pizza. WHen I graduated, my mom put the lyrics to this song in the newspaper, with a picture of me and my sisters. This song will always bring back memories of my sisters. Now the video shows Harry Potter!!! How much does that rock.
One Voice
Okay, so this just brings me back to childhood in general. I have 2 sisters (that makes 3 of us) do you know how few artists sing things in 3 part harmony. I heard this song just this year. They are the Wailin Jenny's. They are amazing. THis song brought me to all those times with my sisters singing in the car.
This was SOOO much fun,. I could do this for a very long time. I could add more. . . . come on, please.
