music and the skins, of course
music has so many ways to connect with us. there's literal music whose rhythms, lyrics, melodies, beat, etc. can individually or all together can provoke. there's music in life: someone's voice, sounds of our environment (typing keys in an office is a sad example of this). it's interesting because different songs can appeal to us at different times. i would guess that there are about 42 (haha) songs that really can affect me.
the five of the moment:
across the universe by fiona apple
sweater song by weezer
clincher by chevelle
moral centralia by harvey danger
save yourself by stabbing westward
with that half thought for the day, it is time to turn to the glorious music of the nfl (hail to the redskins, hail victoreeeeeeeee....). for the few of you who regularly check this blog, you will remember that i predicted several weeks ago that the redskins would make the play-offs. check. and that they would go on to the championships, but lose there. bucs beaten (go defense), one down, one to go (seattle, who they have beaten in the regular season). my current prediction will be that the panthers will beat the bears (bears are #2 seed, both defenses are excellent, but bears' young qb will choke; delhomme has done this before). obviously, the skins will beat the seahawks, but will be too banged up to then overcome the panthers.
all right, the beauty of the modern age, i have now had a third stream of consciousness presented to me. did anybody else know there is a movie, annapolis, about the naval academy coming out at the end of this month? only caught about half of it, so i don't have an impression yet. i have to offer a disclaimer here: i went to west point, the arch nemesis of usna, so i'm feeling a little mixed about the way it's been packaged-- "the toughest military academy in the world", etc. we'll wait to pass judgement until we can gather more information. i have had the opportunity to participate in various activities with all three of the major academies (merchant marines and coast guard are the smaller siblings) and there are some serious differences between them.
