Amy’s posterous

i realized today that there are at least three songs that i hear multiple times each week.  none are current songs, but apparently pgh radio favorites.  i don't listen to the regular radio too often, but i guess it's good to know that somewhere out there one of these songs in playing.

1. california dreamin', the mamas and the papas.  many times i catch this song right as it begins.  i'll listen to it the whole way through.  another one of those artists that i actually know pretty much their entire catalog due to my upbringing. there's this one part that i really dig.  i won't break it down line by line, but i just listen for it.

2. maggie may, rod stewart.  when i was very young, like pre-K, i loved rod stewart, not b/c i was so familiar with his songs, aside from this one which i distinctly remember loving dearly, but b/c my mom liked him.  she still does. i do believe i had a newspaper clipping of rod in his full soccer kit on my bedroom closet door.  so yeah, i dug rod.  now that i think about this, did my parents show me the picture and then i begged to cut it out? more questions than answers i guess.  my aunt had an irish setter called maggie, i wonder if it was for this song?  my dad always sang to the dog.

3. edge of seventeen, stevie nicks.  i don't really remember this song from my youth, but i like it now.  i do remember when stand back came out, and i really liked that song.  the dramatics get me now.  typically i hear this song on the way to work.  now, why is some pgh radio station playing this song in the same time slot multiple times a week?  no idea.  anyway, stevie, she's good.  so many of those 80's solo stevie songs are just fun.  i wholely support that.

i left work today to pick something up in "town" and heard two of these three songs during my 10 minute car drive.

(in my quest to find out if it was maggie may or maggie mae i just learned that rod stewart covers girl from the north country.  i don't think that's a good idea at all, i'm sorry.)

things that break my heart lately:
pretty much everything.

my boss has hooked me up with the link of the century people..... let's just call it the location of my next birthday party.... the nostalgic guesthouse.  i'm not kidding. f r.star.  the tradition is over.  ps, you will all need to dress up.  if you don't want to, you don't get to come to the party.  make sure to take the tour by going to the guesthouse link, and scroll down. amazing fun right???? 

why am i feeling guilty by not doing anything but sitting, still as can be, listening to music, lights out, beer in hand, in the sewing room?  that shouldn't be a guilty pleasure, right?
comments?

since i can't get out of town, i will make the best of it this weekend. 

nothing i hate more than being called "pretty lady" by some dude i don't so much know, and i have to work with.  creep city.

5 thoughts of the day

1. last goodbye slays me each and everytime i hear it.
2. i'm waiting for this class to go home, i'm technically done working.... urgh. i cannot bring myself to throw them out.
3. the sidebar of my mail is providing me with a great website to check out: catch him and keep him .com wtf? they apparently know i have problems.
4. it's only tuesday but i'm so looking forward to the weekend. so looking fwd.
5. i have great sewing projects under way and one really annoying fix/ repair one under way that i need to just WRAP UP and get done with it. 

i still have such a soft spot for pete yorn, strange condition.  i will forever dig that song.

best issue of rolling stone ever, i guess that's a bad statement as i don't typically read it, just when i'm over the edge crazy at work and need something to look at.
anyway, great bob dylan article, and the freaking mayor o' braddock has an article too.  get to it.

sometimes the message gets delayed. it still makes my brain go haywire.
