Video’s pretty dorky, too.

2. Rock-n-roll lifestyle. Cake.
Cake! My iPod likes Cake. So do I.

I wonder if I will think these guys are dorky someday, as well.

3. There she goes. The Las.
This one of my all time favorite songs. Ever.

I had to listen to it twice.

4. Not your fault. Awolnation
Good song. Kind of sick of it tho.

Video is kind of dumb.

5. Stop dragging my heart around. Tom petty,
Yeah! Love this song.

6. There goes my gun. Pixies.
I always enjoy the Pixies.

7. A pair of brown eyes. The Pogues.
This song makes me sleepy.

8. I bleed. Pixies
My iPod loves the Pixies.

9. Plainsong. The Cure.
This whole album makes me feel sad.

And sleepy.

10. Psycho killer. Talking Heads.
Yeah!

Woke me right up.

I love this song. The melodic guitar riff. The crescendo at the end. The music aptly describes the way I feel today.

from the album Now We Can See by The Thermals

Oh dear. It appears I might have lost my blogging mojo. Well, these are always sort of fun. Perhaps it will get me back into the game. Firing up the iPod…

1. Bathwater. No Doubt.
Oh yay! Love this song!

2. So Much For The Afterglow. Everclear.
Another good song I haven’t heard in forever.

This video is rather hilariously odd.

3. Since I’ve Been Loving You. Led Zeppelin
Fuck Yeah, Led Zeppelin!!!!

4. Fat Lip. Sum 41.
OK. Call me a dork, but I love this song. When I hear the opening guitar riff I smile.

5. From Way Up Here. Pete Seeger.
I have no idea why I have this on my iPod. But whatever. It’s cool. It’s Pete Seeger. Of course it’s fucking cool.

6. I Won’t Back Down. Johnny Cash.
Fuck Yeah, Johnny Cash!

7. Skeletons. Yeah Yeah Yeahs.
God I love these guys.

8. Blue Shoes. Margo May.
I have no idea what this song is. I have never heard it before. I think there are gnomes loading up my iPod when I’m not looking.

9. Train In Vain. Clash
Fuck Yeah, Clash!

10. Deathly. Aimee Mann.
The songs from the Magnolia Soundtrack make me feel very sad.

On that note, I am going to bed. Good night, kids!

my running jacket matches the swoosh on my shoes.

I was thinking it might be good to update here every couple of weeks on how my running is going. Mostly for myself. I”m hoping that in a year I will look back and be stoked at how far I have come.

I’m working my way through the Couch to 5k program (again) because I don’t want to go too far too fast again and injure my foot. I’m currently on week six! That means I only have three weeks left of this and then I can move on bigger and better things. I feel kind of silly doing it since I had already worked my way up to 4 miles on my regular run, but whatever.

The plantar fascitis is still bothering me a bit, and I don’t like that. But I’m being really good about stretching and icing my foot when I’m done running. Yoga on my off days has really helped a lot too.

The City of Sandy finished the Tickle Creek Trail and so I’ve been running that in the morning. I am really loving it! It’s nice to get off road to run.

I found a new band a couple of weeks ago and their music makes fabulous running music. The band is Cut Copy and their latest is album is Zonoscope. The song Need You Now has an almost hypnotizing feel to it that is perfect for that state you get into when you are running.

Let’s get it started, shall we? I’m using my iPod today. There are more weird, random songs that pop up that I haven’t heard before.

1. The Shadow of Seattle. Marcy Playground.
I have this album but have never heard the whole thing. Now, at least, I’ve heard this song. It’s not terrible.

2. The Cave. Mumford and Sons.
Oh god I love this song but it makes me cry. Also, whenever I hear these guys it makes me want to learn how to play my banjo already!

3. I am a Rock. Simon and Garfunkle.
Good song. A little cynical, but good song.

4. I Am Always Touched By Your Presence, Dear. Blondie.
Blondie!

5. Anarchy in the U.K. Sex Pistols.
Yeah! good old-school punk.

6. Mantovi. The Swinging Cats.
And old-school ska.

7. People Got a Lot of Nerve. Neko Case.
GREAT song. Even though it reminds me of winter in Spokane.

8. Fairytale in the Supermarket. The Raincoats.
Yeah for old-school punk!

9. Where Eagles Dare. Misfits
My iPod likes punk today. Awesome!!!

10. American Idiot. Green Day
Well o.k. then. Let’s end it with that.
