in these delusions of grandeur..

The newest Itunes update includes a section named Genius. I am pretty unsure about it. One of Genius' features however, just made me very pleased. Clicking it's atom symboled button while a song is highlighted takes what's in your library and picks out a playlist for you based on the general mood of the song. My first thought was that it can't possibly know the quirky ways I listen to music and therefore isn't good enough, but regardless, I did actually like it's systematic mechanical opinion on my first try.

It's just what I needed right now. The playlist it plucked from my library sewed by Devendra Banhart's "A Ribbon"

I am wishy washy and lukewarm. It's too bad my mind's spin cycle never seems to be as fun as my washer's.



You may ask yourself, Oh my god what have I done? Letting the days go by...let the water hold me down.

maybe.

Calling myself a late bloomer is kind of a cop out, but we shall see?

It's okay that I don't have an explanation. I have never before been fine with that.

Love,
Human -Being-

I've been with Terry, Sarah and Sierra almost every day the last few days besides going to work out at the gym. Today's Stephanie's day off!

Getting Bambi's cousin Sheila to Seatac by mid-morning with the ticket I bought her to Kentucky and then her ford escort is mine!

Riding with cousin Claire & Izzy from Alexandria to Aunt Anne's in Kilmarnock, coming back after Thanksgiving.
