Life's Lessons: Lots of Lyrics

Yesterday, I went to Phoenix. Not having much experience driving in Arizona (outside of Tucson itself), I was a little stressed about getting up there. I arrived without getting lost and with minimal emotional duress. I stayed in Phoenix for the night, and left in the wee small hours of the morning (8 am).

For as horrified as I was getting up there, the drive back was freakishly liberating. It's about a two hour drive, and I sang the entire way home. My throat was aching by the end of my trip. For the sheer giggle factor, the "play list" that I created for myself during my drive is as follows:

1. Depeche Mode- Precious

2. Depeche Mode- Enjoy the Silence

3. Depeche Mode- Policy of Truth

4. Depeche Mode- World in My Eyes

5. Depeche Mode- I Feel You

6. Depeche Mode- Walking in My Shoes

7. Amanda Palmer- Astronaut

8. Amanda Palmer- Runs in the Family

9. Amanda Palmer- Leeds United

10. Amanda Palmer- Guitar Hero

11. Amanda Palmer- Oasis

12. Crazy Loop- Crazy Loop (mm-mm-ma)

13. Katy Perry- Hot N Cold

14. Daft Punk- Harder, Better, Faster, Stronger

15. MGMT- Kids

16. Head Automatica- Beating Heart Baby

This relatively schizophrenic, kind of embarrassing and utterly predictable grouping of songs fueled my return. I came home feeling pretty good. I really needed it, after what has been a pretty emotionally draining week.

I work tonight. I really should be sleeping, but-surprise! It's not happening.
