no more wasting time in november 2009

My Itunes has been out of order for several months now, so that is why you poor followers have been depraved of my monthly playlists. I'm sure you have all been anxiously awaiting this post.

Alright, so maybe not. Just humor me. :)

Pardon my pride, but I think this month's playlist is especially good. I discovered Rosi Golan recently and can't quite get enough of her.

Also, have you ever been asked the "what song best describes you" question? I certainly have, and each time either pull something out thin air that really doesn't describe me at all or just disappoint my questioner with a shrug. Well, I've finally found that "A Better Son/Daughter" by Rilo Kiley describes me to a t, with the exception that Jenny drops the F bomb twice. And while I do find that word completely crass, I can understand why it might best get the point across. That is, however, as much debatable as besides the point. I mainly said that in case any of you decide to look it up expecting to hear an uplifting worship song or a song some musician like Taylor Swift wrote for his/her devoted and under-appreciated parent.

Here you go...

Yes, I realize #15 is completely random, but sometimes you just have to embrace random and defy social norms. I promise it will make your life much more fulfilling and mold you into the person that God, not society, created you to be. If it really bugs you though, just think how much I could have disrupted the sound flow by plopping that sucker at #9 right behind worship leader Mandi Mapes.

I hope this last real month of the semester treats you well, that studying is successful, and that Ida goes away so we don't have to tread around campus in multicolored goulashes that don't match our outfits.

With love.
