Music makes the world... happy!

Anybody loving this song yet?

I heard it on the radio the other day and, for some reason, I stopped. It actually spoke to me, like MANY songs do these days (hence the references to Mumford and Sons, Florence and the Machine, One Eskimo... just to name the MOST recent). I listened and I felt all happy and oogly-googly inside. Now, I every time it's on the radio, I turn it up... I will do this until it is overplayed or, in the case of Florence, given to an edited version of horrible proportions. Seriously, the real Dog Days Are Over is longer and more dramatic. LOVE it.

I love music. I must think that this love of music came from my other love, the movie "Almost Famous". But I would also like to think that I loved music before that. I mean, I never got into the whole boy band age... my heart and brain new better than to trust the Backstreet Boys and their version of pop soul over-indulgency.

Is that a real phrase? No?

Excuse me and continue reading. I'm in a funky mood tonight. I have no idea where my brain will be jumping to next.

I'm listening to Maroon 5 radio on Pandora right now (HAHA the one boy band I DO accept!) and did anyone realize that Linkin Park is in the same station? Go figure. News to me but whatever... it's their old stuff and I accept. Thumbs up Pandora.

:)

And now for my next trick...

Ladies and gents, cats and kittens, children of all ages and pups of all stages I bring to you today the FIRST of it's kind... LIFE as we know it will change based on this wonder... people of the world, if you recall, about a month ago, I made this blog disappear... TODAY, I give you something FAR more AMAZING... far more STUNNING... and far more... well, cool?

TODAY I WILL MAKE THAT BLOG.... REAPPEAR.

1... 2... 3...

Well, actually, it's already here isn't it?

I would like people to know that while this blog was lost in the world of the unknown, I still was going on different adventures and I was still reading and trying to repair my mind after the March that was literally coming in like a lion... and leaving like a lion and tearing apart animals like a lion, etc. etc.

But, April was good... April was even VERY good and I'm hoping that it had something to do with that blog post that I started it with. At least, I'm going to believe that's how it happened.

SCRIPTFRENZY totally kicked my butt. I tried it, but instead of writing 100 pages in 30 days, I only wrote about 25. Part of it was because I was working a lot more than I normally did, but the other part was I hadn't planned it quite right. I realize this and I've learned. I will definitely be more prepared next SCRIPTFRENZY. On the bright side, I loved my idea and I'm going to keep working on it. My problem was that I liked my idea so much that I believed that's all it would take... funny how you needed it plotted and, well, everything else.

Oh, well.

The book I read for the month, and I'm still reading ... eeek!.. is The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo... hope to finish it soon and start on the second book in the installment... that way I could at least get a book in before May is over. :)

And for my adventure? I finally took a short vacation! While I didn't have a camera and lack the pictures that would have made this blog beautiful, I can at least write and tell you that Carmel was beautiful! My mom and I stayed at a place that looked like it was taken out of a Steven King novel, but it accepted Kyli as a guest. She did well too! Especially at only 16 weeks old! The picture above is from my camera phone after she got back from the trip. Let's just say, it was a lot of work for a little pup!

And, now for the final wonder of April... I got a job!

But... more details after my first day... ;)

Peace!
