they're only feelings baby..

i have been doing more writing in my paper journal, than here. and i have been listening to the new Garbage album a whole lot-not your kind of people. i can't get over how good it is and how every song speaks to me personally, as usual. i am so grateful that this band exists. i love every song on the album, and i feel like it's their best since Version 2.0, which was always my favorite. some of my favorite songs on not my kind of people are 'automatic systematic habit,' 'control,' 'the one,' battle in me,' 'man on a wire' and 'felt.' in 'man on a wire' when Shirley sings 'I sat myself down and shot my fear in the face,' it's possibly one of the best garbage lyrics I've ever heard. go buy the album now if you haven't yet!!


i had a very productive night tonight. it's amazing what cancelling netflix can do. i miss watching new movies sometimes, but i knew i was avoiding doing the soul searching activities that i used to enjoy so much. so tonight i did some writing, and some meditating and now I'm posting this blog entry. I'm going to read a bit before bed, just not sure yet what to read. i may buy the digital version of the unabridged journals of Silvia Plath. her journals are a literary art form all in themselves. she takes little everyday things and turns them into an inspiring subject for writing. the actual book is quite thick and heavy and i got rid of it a while ago, so i think buying the digital version to be able to carry with me anywhere on my e reader is a better option.


i also made a list of my top 100 favorite things, not including movies i own, or clothing. I'm trying to pare things down again. now that i work from home i need a lot less clothing so I'm donating a bunch i got tired of to the consignment store near me next week. the idea behind making the list of your favorite 100 things is to reconsider if you really need the things that you couldn't remember to put on your list. if they aren't memorable then why keep them around sort of thing? i read it on one of those minimalist blogs, can't remember which one right now but i made the list once before and i just can't find it, it would be interesting to compare the first list i made to the one i made tonight, but i would have to find it first.


i was surprised that i couldn't remember too many of my books, so i guess i am not so attached to them all as i thought i was. jewelry was really difficult too for some reason. i mostly listed the jewelry i like the most and wear most often. there are a lot of pieces in my collection that i really like but i just don't really take the time to wear.
