mp3: “Rome” – Phoenix
Another Phoenix song that I have been appreciating lately.

mp3: “Something in Common” – Free Energy
I must really like this song. I saved it in my “songs to post” folder at least three different times. Or maybe that means it’s been posted around on the music blogosphere a lot recently?? Either way, I appreciate it.

mp3: “My Will is Good” – Port O’Brien
A very different feel from the first song that I posted from them, “I Woke Up Today”, but I am  finding that I like its atmosphere a lot!

mp3: “Horchata” – Vampire Weekend
I find my body moving joyfully to this song.

mp3: “Change of Heart” – El Perro Del Mar
Nice. I hear this song and am wishing that I was walking in the woods on a beautiful Fall day. Watching two gold dusted strong men do acrobatics didn’t come to mind at all…

El Perro Del Mar “Change Of Heart” from The Control Group on Vimeo.

For the past four mornings, I have startled awake, disoriented and confused. It goes something like this:

Startled Awake. Eyes wide open.

      Consciousness? Huh?

What am I? Am I late?

      Human, you are human…and what is “late”?

Panicky…Who am I? I must be late.

      I don’t know. Oh yeah…Dragonfly, you are Dragonfly. Late is a concept I don’t understand.

Damn it, where am I? Why don’t I know where I am?

     Don’t ask me.

Do I have children? Where are they?

     You are in your room. Why do you care about children?

What? Is it morning or night?

     …I’m not sure.

What the? Why is that clock displaying nonsensical symbols instead of numbers?

      Calm down.

     You are Dragonfly. You are in your room. Starr is asleep in her room. It is morning. You are not late. Take a deep breath. Look at the clock again, see…those symbols ARE numbers. It is early, go back to sleep.

Smart ass.

Really? Do I really need to reorient myself with the universe every morning? Hope not.
