Anyhow, to get my mind off this stuff I can't really control, I've been listening to music and perusing jewelry... and just in time for Friday Favorites!
Music
1. The new albums from Fleet Foxes (Ragged Wood) and Tokyo Police Club (Elephant Shell). Sit in a big comfy chair and look out of the window for the Fleet Foxes one (I like the song "English House"). Drive fast on a highway or go clean your room and jump around with the duster for the Tokyo Police Club album. These have been on repeat in our house.
2. Re-issue of The Glow Pt. 2 by the Microphones. Before I had any conception of life as it is now; life on the beach, life with the fella, I used to drive down to Long Beach at 2 am (when the moon was full) and listen to this over and over again. On a portable CD player. It's a wonder I didn't get killed, now that I am thinking back. But I mostly remember being overwhelmed by how lovely the moon looked and how the waves were slightly scary in the dark.

I love the Microphones!! I hope you could post a list of awesome music to check out one day!
Oh my, that's crazy about work!
I really like that ring, it's so different to the rest
love the crown bracelet and vintage looking earrings - music really does help everything!
That sounds like a rollercoaster ride at work. The jewelry is cute, though!
I have no more ability to differentiate bands. I usually don't realize this until mid-sentence, when I'll be attempting to refer to a hip-eight-years-ago band like The Walkmen or Forget Cassettes and I just end up making up band names to seem hip. "Yeah, the new Voices of Celery 7 inch is pretty cool," I say, knowing I haven't owned a record player in five years.
My parents are fine, thank goodness.
I hope the work situation settles down, I can't imagine how aggravating that would be.
And as for the jewelry... I was immediately drawn to the hydrangea earrings, of course the ones the most out of my budget! Boo.
I forgot about the Microphones! And I love your story about listening to them at the beach.
The ring is beautiful, and I love the hair pin/clip.
I grind my teeth at night when I'm stressed too - maybe you could get one of those mouth guard things to bite down on?
I like the little earrings, so spring-y.
It's a shame about work; hopefully it'll get sorted soon?
I, too, always enjoy it when you post about music. My favorite song on Elephant Shell is Your English Is Good. It makes me want to skip.
