So when i copy over the playlist each day i actually do pay attention to which song will start the next day. Thats how i decide whether to listen to 22, 23, or 24 songs. I pick the number that will give me the best "kick off" song for the following day. This is why i keep having AMAZING first songs, like todays.

Wake up and smell the AWESOME award: Daydream Believer" by The Monkees. Anybody out there wanna be my homecoming queen?

New appreciation song of the day: "Fairytale" by Sara Barielles. This is a wonderful song to throw in the face of anyone who believes in fairytale romance. Dubs gave it to me a couple years ago, but i heard it today with new ears. This one goes out to all you twilight fans out there:

So I sing, I hold my head down
And I break these walls 'round me
Can't take no more of your fairytale love

I don't care for your fairytales
You're so worried 'bout the maiden
Though you know she's only waiting
On the next best thing


Gold Star: "Single Fins & Safety Pins" by Japanese Motors. Easy choice. i found this song last last summer and it became one of my poolside anthems. Its just so damn FUN!!! download it, definately. and throw it on all your summer mix CDs. (slash playlists, for those people in the 21st century)

Weird award: "Suspicious Minds" by Fine Young Cannibals. Yes, this is that Elvis song. And yes, this is the band who sings "She drives me crazy" (all i can picture when i hear that song is the video with muppets)(at 2:26 in the video its david hasselhoff, conan o'brian, and the afleck guy. i love life). And no, i dont understand why them covering this song was okay. And yes, im confused that i kind of liked it.

Chia pet award: "Desire" by Raina Rose. It grows on me more each time i hear it. of course i have a thng for acoustic country folk bluegrass grassroots kind of music, so maybe that explains it.

"Say It Right" by Nelly Furtado was one of THE SONGS of my fall semester. wow, it was weird to hear it again you know? things have changed so much since then, all in amazing ways. TGI 2010.

Ironic song title: "The Longest Road (Deadmau5 Remix)" by Morgan Page. The song is 7 and a half minutes. so its the longest song ever. it reminds me of miley cyrus meets liz phair meets a rave. So of course i love it. (did i use irony right? i always forget what is truly ironic, mostly cuz the alanis morrisette song effed me up. ITS LIKE RAY-EEE-AAAYYYN,,,)

well, im off to dream about new cars and new perspectives!!! things are really, really, REALLY better. Thank God (literally).
