Musica

I get obsessed with music. I'll listen to one song or one artist or one album on repeat for days. Right now, my speakers are graced with the sounds of miss Sara Bareilles, specifically Kaleidoscope Heart. Holy cow, this album is uh-mazing. "Uncharted" and "Bluebird" are knocking my socks off, and of course, "King of Anything" is the most amazing "screw you" song towards anyone who tries to control your life. Poor Jake.... if he asks me to help with the dishes or move his laundry from the washer to the dryer, he gets "Who made you king of anything? You dare tell me who to be? Who died and made you king of anything." Of course, nobody I know is trying to control my life, so I can't really empathize with Sara's lyrics, but that doesn't mean I can't jam like a madwoman to this song.

That's really all I've got today. Go buy some of Sara Bareilles' music, she's brilliant.

Oh wait, I'm going to Chicago on Thursday. I'M SO FREAKING EXCITED. I have loads of family up there who I don't get to see enough. The real icing on the cake? My almost-one-year-old twin cousins who I haven't met yet. They are the absolute most adorable babies I've ever seen, and I can't wait to play with them!!! So yeah, I'm counting down the hours at this point (59hr, 42min until we land in Chi Town). Woohoo vacations! Lord knows I need one... in eleven consecutive shifts, I'll have worked ten by tomorrow night. Yeeeah, I'm kinda tired. But it's worth it! A vacation isn't very much fun if you don't have money to frolic about with. Jake's never been to Chicago, so I'll be taking him to all the awesome tourist-y places (think Ferris Bueller's Day off), so the extra cash from all this working will rawk.

Ok. That's really all now.
