Current Life Soundtrack
In an act that was both symbollic and practical, I deleted my account from Blogger, closing a year-long chapter in my life of weblogging, friends, and writing. I was sure to print out every post I had made and have it bundled in a safe package in my closet at home. It will be fun to peruse them in twenty years or so.
Looking for a house has taken up the better part of my weeks lately, next to spending time with Jeff. It's tough because buying a house is a big leap. I'm convinced that getting into the market is a good idea, however, and know I'll have to bite the bullet at some point if I ever plan on getting into a house, period.
Driving back and forth between Denver and Colorado Springs has kept me in the car for a greater part of the week. My drives are really the only time I have to listen to music, which has always played an integral part in my life. I love adding and attributing specific music to certain periods of my life, because I can always pop in a CD and be instantly transported back to that time. I've selected a few albums to compliment the recent uncertainty and calm my anxieties:
- Ben Watt & Jay Hannan - Lazy Dog Deep House Music
- Saint Etienne - Interlude
- Saint Etienne - The Sound of Water
- Cocteau Twins - Stars and Topsoil
- Janet Jackson - Janet
- Pizzicato Five - Fifth Release from Matador
- Daft Punk - Discovery
The summer has filled up unbelievably fast. I had figured that once I graduated college, I'd have more free time than I knew what to do with. Not true. I'm running around, quite honestly, like headless poultry. Most of these plans are with Jeff. This weekend, we are camping. Next weekend is Pride in Denver. The following week is Outward Bound. The week after that is soccer tournaments. The week after that is road trip to Iowa and Missouri to meet Jeff's parents. Whew...
This is what I asked for. This is what I've wanted all along. I just wish I could slow down and enjoy it, make it last. Perhaps if I tend more to this journal, I'll be able to enjoy these days later on down the road. Well, gotta go. I have to grab some last minute camping gear for this weekend.
