newest obsession

oh jeez. ok - so dave was gone this past week (he had to go to vegas to work for the week - ask him about how much he liked it. ha ha.), which left me to my own devices, which resulted in all sorts of, um, interesting side-bars and lack of sleep weirdness. Some of you might not know this, but if it wasn't for dave, i would just stay up all night every single night just lurking around the house doing things....it could be cleaning... reading... internet-ing.... songwriting.... singing... sewing.... watching youtube videos about whatever is most recently catching my fancy... sorting through mail... looking at old pictures... picking my nose... my toes... god only freaking knows where all the time goes, but it's a problem. he hardly ever goes away, so it doesn't come up very often anymore. but wow, it doesn't take long to revert to one's old ways now does it?! anyway - in a long chain of events that involved procrastinating checking e-mail (i loathe it, i really do...no really...i really do)... trying to google a list of aerial tissu moves, which morphed into finding a few new tissu videos on youtube, which morphed into watching a few pole dancing videos and suddenly i'm watching this woman from england do a pole dance demo (to promote her pole dancing studio) and i can't focus on what she's doing because this song she's dancing to is so freaking haunting and chilling and beautiful and eerie and making me excited that i've found something new and just when i'm thinking, 'who the hell IS THIS!?', I scroll down into the comments where a bunch of people asked the same question and so i am introduced to Damien Rice for the first time.

It was this song: 9 Crimes

i can't get it out of my head.

there is also an actual video, like mtv video, which is pretty freaky, but i want you to really hear the song first before being caught up by the visual medium.

i bought two of his albums today.

i spent an hour and a half last night watching all his youtube stuff. i felt like a teenager. it was kinda fun. :)
