Tired, not listless

[hummingwolf]

The tunes most likely to run through my head at random moments for no apparent reason:

1. Hector Zazou with Anneli M. Drecker & Gérard Depardieu "I'll Strangle You"
2. Peter Himmelman "Climb"
3. the first movement of Vassili Kalinnikov's first symphony
4. Loreena McKennitt "The Mummer's Dance"
5. Ashford & Simpson "Count Your Blessings"


On the 23rd, penguinboi posted a list of five favorite smells. Here are the 5 I came up with:

1. Old trees after spring rain.
2. African tea roses.
3. Potatoes & onions fried in olive oil, with freshly-ground black pepper on top.
4. Sweet-smelling spices like cinnamon.
5. Fires with apple wood.


While bored last weekend, I kept writing out the first word that came to mind for each letter of the alphabet. I threw all my lists away, but jeweldevil, having the same idea yesterday morning, posted his. So I decided I should post some as well.

My first attempt at the alphabet list yesterday began with apple, banana, carrot, dark chocolate, eggplant, so I figured I should go eat something and try again later. Here's my list this evening:

arboreal, banana, clearance, dance, eagle, flight, garage, height, incense, jasper, kaleidoscope, lemon, mind, nine, open, paradise, queenly, righteous, solid, tungsten, universal, variegated, wobbly, x-ray, yellow, zoomorphic

Hector Zazou with Anneli M. Drecker & Gérard Depardieu "I'll Strangle You"

That song. I have it on a tape a friend made for me. I've been trying to find, I think it's blue sahara. Not yet.

Zazou's Sahara Blue is a terrific album. Though it's probably out of print here in the US, I'm pretty sure you can get an import on Amazon.com without having to pay too much for it. "I'll Strangle You" isn't really like the other songs--the rest are much more laid back--and yet it is. Anyway, it's too early in the morning for a coherent album review, so I'll stop now. :-)
