It's odd to me how I manage to go through life oblivious to all sorts of things. I only discover new things as they present themselves to me.

It's like I'm secure enough in knowing exactly what I like and to focus only on that.

Or, I'm just oblivious.

At any rate, I have just now fallen in love with Bjork. Turns out that most of the pop imagery I adore was at some point engineered/initiated/exploited and developed by her imagination.

Verdict: either the cutest crazy lady ever, or the craziest cute lady ever.

Also, her type of crazy is both high brow crazy and low brow crazy.

High brow crazy: google image search Stelarc, kind of imagery.

Low brow crazy: "He left me! My life is over! F*** him!" mentality

Pretty cool all around.

May's Musical Endevor

The next cd theme is mine to command! Muwhahaha...

Yet, it is not that big a puppetry domination, so I shan't revel too much.

I've been trying to think of something good, wide enough that we can all find awesome stuff, but closed enough that there is some continuity. Coffee is my favorite thing other than Absinthe, and coffee has been done, so I thought initially Absinthe, but I don't want to impinge on the whole drinks thing, or start this as a series of thirsty mixes. After all, we shouldn't dwell on addictions here.

Which brought me to smoke. I don't like the idea of cigarettes too much beyond Holly Golightly and Humphrey Bogart and how cool they look/make you look on film etc. but smoke it self is gorgeous and difficult to capture and universal enough that I'm sure you can find a song about it somehow by almost every artist under the sun.

However, that too seemed too much like coffee. (aesthetically).

Taking into account that I'm supposed to be leaving you all for reals in May, and that being the biggest thing in my life that month (close runner up being Kelsie's wedding) I'm thinkin the theme should celebrate that!

Thus, my proposed theme (feel free to interpret, as we all would anyway, we analysts and artists) is Deployment/Embarkation.

Have at it kids!
