33: Wop A Din Din

Feeling exhausted lately, which shouldn't be surprising. I suppose it's the flu scare on campus, combined with that every present threat of mono that circles through the realms of the young quick to swat cup and kiss. Probably nothing, just a whole lot of candle burning.

Music helps. Music always helps.

(all I need now is to get my hands on some Red House Painters to complete it)

*fun fact- this is the closing song at the bar
**fun fact- when searching for Johnny Cash at WCWM, check both under the Js and the Cs. He's filed under both. Bob Dylan on the other hand, is only under D

For curling up in bed, or in a warm sunny place, with a mug of tea and your headphones.
It's a little sweet, and soft. But that's fall with a cup of chai and a toasty scarf.

11: Autumnal

Fall has really set in lately- the weather has been dipping through the fifties and sixties, making it perfect jeans and scarf weather (which basically holds through the winter for me too). I've listening to Nick Drake all morning, which just adds to the mood.

I want to curl up on some leaves and go to sleep.
