Dance

There've been a chain of rain and thunderstorms here lately, so I've been staying in listening to music and dancing around my living room. Maybe if I dance enough I might actually start slimming down again...

Psytrance isn't for everybody, and even I'll admit that SUN Project is on the slightly cheesy side of things. It just speaks to my soul and makes me groove around no matter the circumstances. Cheers!

Just Like A Woman

The title for my blog comes from a Bob Dylan song, from his album Blonde on Blonde. There's something about it that just resonates with me. I'm more than a little taken with Bob Dylan though, from his traditional folk music in the 60's to his newer albums now. (I was even listening to his Christmas album around the holidays and I never listen to Christmas music!)

She takes just like a woman, yes, she does
She makes love just like a woman, yes, she does
And she aches just like a woman
But she breaks just like a little girl

It's not upbeat, it's actually rather dark. But something about it... I don't know how to explain it. There's a tenderness to it, an unhidden weakness and vulnerability. It's just beautiful and real. If you don't like Dylan that's probably hard to understand but there it is... Cheers!

No Smiling

Yesterday was a hard day. Smiling wasn't something I really felt like doing when taking the photos. I often prefer my face without smiling lately, just something about neutral features that I find interesting.

I've been hooked on Iron and Wine for the last few months. His voice just sweeps me off my feet, and the songs are so beautiful. I don't think there's yet a song on any of his albums that I don't adore.

Several hours after taking those first photos, I got to spot-cleaning snake tanks and doing other pet related activities, and they got my smile out. Trust creatures to bring a smile to my face, no matter the occasion!
