Lately I've acquired some more cultural appreciations. And by that I am referring to music and tv shows. (Yes, I can hear thoughts of derision.) Let's start with the music shall we?
I saw a dance choreographed to this song a while ago and watched the music video the other day. After listening to some of her other songs, I have come to the conclusion that I appreciate her music. It's sort of interesting. Not outside of my normal indie genre for sure. But the music is almost soothing while the words are quite... not soothing?
Another artist whose music I've recently discovered is Ingrid Michaelson. She also is an indie artist with catchy tunes. Her lyrics are rather more upbeat than Christina Perri's.
Enough about music. We're sick of your indieness, you say. Well, my cousins have mentioned a tv show called Downton Abbey. And a blog I read mentioned it. So I decided to check it out, considering my fondness for all things British. (As Time Goes By, Midsomer Murders, Agatha Christie, Jane Austen, strong unsweetened tea. That last is probably arguable.) As might be expected, I love it. It shows life from both sides instead of just one... something I feel is probably rare in a movie or show.
In other less exciting news.... Summer is finally here. But it's not as exciting as I dreamt it would be. Sad day. The reading and crafting is not getting done. Neither is the homework. Procrastination is one of my character flaws apparently. So is joblessness. At least thirty applications, three interviews and nothing, zip, zilch, nada. Not really sure what's going wrong. How's this for shifting the blame? Maybe they're calling my previous employer and they are giving me a bad review? Even though I heard they aren't actually allowed to do that. Oh, well. Something will turn up. Someday. Maybe.
