Too Much to Drink - Not Always a Bad Thing!

Tonight we had dinner with buddies after work. I had to literally tear myself away from my desk just to get there. It was worth it. We sat on the patio, soaked up some sun* and caught up.

Let's be honest - I drank too much wine and I'm still buzzing. Know how I can tell? I'm getting sappy, listening to some amazing music** that is making me weepy and I'm chatty - hence the blog post. I'll include some albums that are being played right now and putting me over the edge.


A good friend of mine sent an email out to a few people the other day about music. He's super passionate and it stirred something in me. I was thinking about starting to do posts about music and my experiences with it. Similar to talking about books, I love talking about music.

 I have a few friends who are heavy into music but I think I'm different from them, not in a bad way or anything. But I'm not into stats, keeping up on the latest news, who's collaborating with who - in fact I'm lucky if I even know the names of the band members of my faovurite groups.

Music for me is all about how it affects me on a deep, personal level.


I'm making a mixed CD for my Dad. I can still do this because he isn't completely connected technically, and I'm really enjoying the process.

*Sun does not equate warmth in Victoria. I had my jacket over my legs and my scarf on after that. Don't get me started.
** listening to amazing music is not a rare occurrance around here - just clarifying.

Bahaha, I am buzzed right now after a big Teachers' Union party (open bar FTW) and I love Neil Halstead too! That's a great album.

I know why we are buddies.

Oh, it is tragic we can't drink wine together in the same town.

Love me some music, too (who doesn't), but I'm SO not up to speed on new musicians, amazing albums or up-and-comers. All that stuff feels like overload to me! Just give me some Depeche and I'm fine. (Old faithful, never fails...)

PS: We are heading to the Depeche concert this October in AZ. Those guys are the same age as my dad but I totally love them!! (Man crush, even!)
