Filthy Gorgeous
Sep. 16th, 2010 04:31 pmBusy week till now, but relatively ok. Tuesday and Wednesday morning were hospital time, with me seeing my psychiatrist and taking my neighbour to the hospital for some appointments. It's 82, nearly blind, with a wife with Obsessive compulsive disorder (she hasn't set foot out of her house for 13 years except for hospital time), helping him is the least I can do. On tuesday I completed the day going to do my weekly shopping.
I bought oil and other stuff for my car. After driving the allegedly better car of my neighbour I realised that I love my car. She's old, not fast and looks like the snake that has swallowed the elephant in the Little Prince, but I love Ellie (short for elephant).
Anyway On tuesday I was too tired and wednesday afternoon I went to work (another busy day Yay! and there may be overtime in my future next week), so the shopping cluttered my living room floor till this morning, when I shamed myself into putting everything in place.
Then I had lunch with a friend and then I got home and managed that rare feast: a productive afternoon at home. I did my washing and started settling the plants for the coming autumn.
On other news, I am trying some new music. Loved Sunny side up by Paolo Nutini, currently listening to Kaleidoscope heart by sarah Bareilles. It's that kind of female music, that I usually find appealling, but it makes me think: If I want to listen to Indigo girls, I'll listen to the Indigo girls. Next up on my list Emiliana Torrini.
Any musical advice (Yes I have the new Scissor Sisters and I am loving it. They have the uncanny ability of taking the most crude and some will say less apetising sides of cruising and transforming them in cheerful music that makes you want to dance and do filthy gorgeous things. Even if you are a 40 years old spinster)
