I am a Children’s Librarian living in the Portland, Oregon area. When I am not Children’s Librianing I like to play with cameras and film. I also like playing the ukulele, knitting, sketching, and hiking.
I love this album (Death Cab for Cutie’s, “Plans”). I was lured to it by the song “Soul Meets Body.” I was just listening to it on my iPod and couldn’t help singing along with the tune. Raf came into the room and asked “were you singing?” Like, he was hearing things or something. But he wasn’t. It was I. Probably sounding like a screeching cat, but oh well.
I love this song, not only because it’s just a good song. But also because it reminds me of my visit to San Jose/Santa Cruz this past March. It was playing on the radio constantly and I had never heard it before (because the radio stations in Spokane play shitty music). Everytime I heard it I liked it more and more. And I knew that in the future listening to this song would bring me back to Santa Cruz. And, indeed, it does
For a week I’ve been looking forward to getting over this cold so I could try my hand at running outside around our neighborhood. The weather is finally warm enough in the morning to get outside. I am so sick of running on the treadmill. It is extremelly boring.
Well, I didn’t even get two houses away. I was pretty much chased back to my front door by a fucking dog.
