me vs playcount: round fourteen
the other night my husb and i are listening to music via airport express. (side note: airport express makes things like doing dishes and cleaning some of my favorite activities.) said husb decides he wants to watch tv, switches the receiver's mode, and proceeds watching tv.
this prompts a mini anxiety attack. on my part.
i jog (literally. i know. i wish i were exaggerating.) into the office to pause the music on itunes. and i swear to you i sighed. as if i had just saved the world.
ben finds this hysterically funny. apparently, he is not driven to have an incredibly accurate playcount. (how could this be?!)
isn't the first step admitting one has a problem? well, i'm admitting it. but riddle me this.
why would anyone want music playing silently on and on and on?? why would you want to have some random song's playcount be 15 if you've only heard it once??
(sigh.)
i have a feeling this is a losing battle, people...
on a related note, i have a new favorite song for this week.
the song is not new...nor is my liking it. but is the next (after 'lonely day') to be needed. to be yearned for.
my song recommendation for this week is 'all kinds of time,' by fountains of wayne. perhaps it is a sign that my soul is crying out for football season. or perhaps whenever i hear it i picture peyton (as in manning. is there another?) in slow motion. it is the kind of song that you replay right before it's over so that you can hear it multiple times without your ipod knowing. oh right. that's only me...
folks, give it a listen. it's the kind of song that makes me want to lie down in the grass and let the day pass over me like a whisper.
you heard me.
p.s.

dear peyton,
how are you doing during all of this 'march madness?'
i think it's trivial.
and boring.
i am counting the days until august...aren't you?
i am hoping that my jersey-wearing will bring more good luck to you
in the coming season...
also, you should listen to 'all kinds of time.'
i mentioned it above.
i don't know what kind of music you like, per se,
but it's about a quarterback so i don't think you can go wrong.
hang in there.
only about 165 days left until the season begins...
all of my best,
emily b.
