Sean and I saw Sweeney Todd on Saturday and now I sing its songs at the top of my lungs when I go for my walks. Anyway. The fact that so many songs are marching through my brain like armies into battle makes it hard for me to be in the library for extended periods of time. Even breathing loudly in the UCD library is akin to screaming naked in a regular library, tearing pages from books and pouring Coca Cola on the study desks. I've been reprimanded more in the UCD library than I have over my entire quarter century of life. Today I hummed three bars between the 820.09 stacks and in thirty seconds three libro-cops had me handcuffed and made me read my rights to myself silently in my head, and those rights were, "You have none. We would rather you die than make noise. Get out of our library, American." So lately, I'm studying outside.
Besides those of Sweeney Todd, these are the other songs that made me a wanted woman in the UCD library:
Leslie first and foremost. I have such a crush on her.
The line, "Take this sinking boat and point it home, we still have time" is particularly sticky.
I think it's a coping mechanism, really. I'm thinking of finals, next year, the thesis, Sean, so many things and then SWOOP! here comes Leslie pushing everything out with her secret heart. These songs are so calming. If anyone but my mom reads this anymore, I'd love to know the songs you're obsessed with lately. Mom, that doesn't mean you can't tell me, too.

I can't stop listening to Mayer's cover of "Bold as Love". Also, " A Day in the Life", by Wes Montgomery. The Mars Volta has an awesome song by the same name, with Rza, which kicks ass. Listen to them.
like every song by josh radin, "i will follow you into the dark" by death cab for cutie and this song called "catalyst" by anna nalick. doesn't she sound like she should be sweedish? i don't think she is. but this song makes me want to sway with somebody.
also- i just bought some of these for myself and for my madre for mother's day- a tangible way to be green! xo

Heya, That's funny you brought up the reisenthel bags for your mom. My mom bought me the green with brown flowers and a smaller one in army for Christmas. I carry the small one in my bag everywhere and people think I'm so hip at markets.
