Tired, not listless

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, [livejournal.com profile] 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 [livejournal.com profile] 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

Anneli Drecker is one of my favorite singers, but "I'll Strangle You" really doesn't show off her voice to best advantage. I still love it, though.

And yes, I'm loving this weather. Given how much I need to do, the calming effect isn't quite what I'd ordered this week, but it is very calming, so cool and rainy... sigh...
