comes my way

it's always weird for me when i hear a different version of a song 

that was very prominent in another time in my life

i just experienced that with 

efterklang's modern drift from their recent daytrotter session

i really dug that song when i first heard it two years ago

and have ever since.

i immediately loved the piano and the lyrics and the 

moving, moving, moving rhythm.

it's a perfect car ride song

because it just goes, goes, goes

and i listened to it quite a bit that year,

and hearing a new daytrotter-y version of it got my thinking

about how much has changed 

since i latched onto modern drift in early 2010

2010 was a year of very big decisions for me

2011 was a year of enacting those very big decisions

and now it's 2012

and i'm just living

just doing my reading for classes

making coffee

planning sexy-book-club meetings

re-watching buffy

obsessing over the pens

writing

walking

and listening to a new version of efterklang's modern drift

on this unforgivably cold saturday 

in january

2012

my point is that i've always been a planner

always been thinking two days, five years, broad strokes ahead

(and i still am to a degree

because i have a lot left in my life i want to accomplish)

but it's just nice to have a few months of downtime

to enjoy the current place my life is in

before the next wave of decisions comes my way.

basically i'm enjoying this time i have right now to just

oversee + legislate + regulate my life

before i have to start campaigning again this fall

how's your weekend?
