Music Monday

Thinking about that horrible/awesome Depeche Mode concert made me think about all the concerts I've been to. Many moons ago I made this list, and need to update it a bit, it seems.

However, I am lazy and am just going to put up a video of one of my favorite 90's songs, of which there are not many. The 90's was a vast wasteland for me, musically speaking. I so hated the grunge thing. I hated Nirvana and hated Pearl Jam even more. But I really like the Foo Fighters, so go figure.

This next song is one that I can just sort of quietly groove to and enjoy. It's a lost gem that people have forgotten since although the band wasn't quite a one-hit wonder, they were pretty close. The CD that this song is on is one I can listen to over and over again without getting tired of it. Oh, and in this video you can see Ms. Halle and Mr. Murphy, pre-Oscar in the movie Boomerang as this song was also on the soundtrack.

I do believe this was "chill" before "chill" became a common term for this style.

Yeah, they had a good run, around 1991-92, also including "Set Adrift On Memory Bliss", which I prefer to this one.

Barbarian that I am, I'd much rather hear Nirvana or Pearl Jam.

The only thing I remember fondly from the 90s was any club tunes I used to hear going out dancing during college. That would be it. For music, I think the 90s was a suckass decade. No identity. Kind of schizo.

Onward

The end of the school year, finally! Did I tell you that my son went to public school this past year? Did I tell you that my daughter was in a regular Kinder classroom this year? Although it was nice to have them both in school, there were definitely things I was not so hip on, such as having to wake up at 5:20 every morning just to get everyone out the door on time.  And then after all the driving and dropping off, going to work. Such fun! I had forgotten the dreariness of having to complete mounds and mounds of homework (even though new research has shown that homework, especially for Kinder, is for shit).  Of constant deadlines and fundraisers and things I am supposed to volunteer for. My daughter had a good year, but was definitely not without its bumps. Her teacher, an older, highly experienced, practical woman with a Master's in Education, kept referring to my daughter as an "inclusion student."  It wasn't her name or just "student" but was

Fallen Between the Cracks

Why did I stop writing here? With the grace of 20/20 hindsight, there were a LOT of reasons. My daughter's journey would get tougher and tougher, and as I added work into the mix of raising two kids, it was one more thing I just didn't have time for. And well, that work thing.  It sure does suck a lot of free time away, doesn't it?  Even though I am still only part time. I will be honest, as much as I adored all the people on the blogosphere that were kind enough to grace me with their wit and time, I just could not keep up with the constant commenting that I felt was only fair to these wonderful people.   So instead, what did I do? I did what any self respecting coward would do. I ghosted, of course. Not that I think my absence was enough to cause people to be distressed, but I feel badly if anyone felt slighted. Even as I write this, I feel like I am being waaaay too self important.  Isn't that the whole point of a blog, though?  Nobody writes a blog that doesn't

Apples and Oranges

Perhaps some of you may have noticed, but the real estate market is beginning a tumble in prices that benefit us, prospective buyers. And we're going to wait. That is cold, cold comfort to those such as J and Py , who are attempting to sell their place as we speak. But, we're not going to wait too much longer, if that makes them feel any better. There is no sense trying to time the bottom of the market, and we have been putting off moving, oh, since Mr. P was born because of the huge runup in prices. So huge that at one point, we could barely afford to buy our own place from ourselves. We should be ok even if we sell at a lower price than we could have gotten say, two years ago. We have, however, a dilemma. We have narrowed our choices down to two cities. And we are stuck there. We just can't figure out which city is better, and they are oh-so-different. Let me give you a rundown. City 1 Older, smaller houses (in our price range) Larger lots Beach city Infrastructure
