Better

I've been having a weird week. Swinging from feeling so very happy when I fell asleep Sunday evening, to having my mind clouded up with frustration and negativity. I'm feeling better right now at this moment though. Maybe it was a fun night with friends. Maybe it was cleaning the house. Maybe it's the night of fun with Josh in store for me- quick errands, Chipotle and games. Maybe it's all of the above. Whatever it was or is, I think the Joni Mitchell I've got playing right now is helping too.

Court and Spark

Last year Josh's Uncle Gary bequeathed to us his turn-table and LPs. It's really been a joy having the sound of vinyl in our little apartment. It seems silly, but there really is such a different feel to music when you hear it in this way. I was just discussing it with Steve & Meri the other day. Steve felt that the physical action of turning the album to side two makes you more conscious of what you're going to hear. The past few days I've been listening to Joni Mitchell's Court and Spark. I love Joni Mitchell, and this album is really good. It has songs that are really enjoyable, with little notes and phrases that make me smile.
