I need something to help center me today. The gorgeous harmonies in Shai’s “If I Ever Fall In Love” will do nicely. #songoftheday

“Stop, I’m Already Dead” by Deadboy and the Elephantmen seems a perfect start to another Monday in dystopia. I housecleaned myself into a flare, and the state in which I live is all over the news again for all the wrong reasons. So. #songoftheday

Woke up with “To Be With You” by Mr. Big in my head, though it’s unclear why. The piece is sweet, determined, and spirited. So I’m gonna roll with it… Happy Sunday. 🌞 #songoftheday

Today I need the joyous, unifying senselessness of “Come Together” by The Beatles. It’s lyrically discombobulating while musically and spiritually assuring. I dig it. #songoftheday

I like to put item descriptions in my checkbook register along with the company I ordered from. But when I wrote “Chewy cat litter” into that field today it made me laugh a little too hard. I think a better term would be “crunchy” in this instance. I think I need more sleep 😂

The good news is, my boyfriend put new strings on 2/3 of our household violins. The bad news is, I either strained or sprained my right wrist somehow. So practicing again while teaching my son how to play will have to wait. 🎻

#songoftheday “A Sadness Runs Through Him” by The Hoosiers has been haunting me since last night. This song moves from the second it starts to the second it ends. The music mirrors the chaotic throes of depression, desperation and addiction. And it is relentless. 1/2

#songoftheday More celebratory than sorrowful, Paul Desmond’s cover of “All the Things You Are” is the song I started the day with. We sang a version of this song in high school that was wistful and frankly, a bit heavy. The lyrics would make extremely effective pick-up lines, though. 1/3

#songoftheday As I began another day in this bizarre timeline, “Crazy” by Gnarls Barkley started playing in my head. It’s one of those songs that makes sense to me from start to finish. Paired with the brilliant video? Perfection. 1/3

The song “Angel Eyes” revisits me at random with its bluesy feel, and the emotional sincerity in Jeff Healey’s vocals. Healey developed a rare cancer early in life that resulted in the loss of his eyes. He went on to be a musical prodigy and all around bada*s musician, from the sound of it. 1/2

When you have a whole trunk full of braces to deal with your allegedly “idiopathic” -itises. But due to a med change (and avoiding alcohol due to an increasingly severe allergy), you lost weight and the braces don’t compress correctly anymore. Good times. #chronicillness

My five year old was a forward thinker. Here is his depiction of George Washington (or as I like to call him, Funkalicious G). I wrote a poem about the ideals of liberty. It’s up on the blog. #poetry

The defiant, ominous tones of “Play With Fire” by The Rolling Stones are steeling my head and my heart today. It’s re-igniting some spark I thought circumstance had suffocated long ago. Parts of my self-worth have recently been restored. And I am done being toyed with. 🔥 #songoftheday

Let’s say you could ignore the fantastic collaboration between the vocals, instrumentation, and impetus behind “Need Your Love” by The Temper Trap… And frankly, how DARE you… 1/2

So if this nerve pain med is still making everything come out like morose, bad poetry, can they list “deeply depressed Dr. Seuss syndrome” as an adverse reaction on my chart? Moderate seems to be slipping into one of those major episodes…forgive my stanzas in advance

Whenever I hear “And So It Goes” by Billy Joel, my heart returns to holding hands with my fellow classmates in junior high as we sang the piece a cappella. It’s one of those songs that is deeply affecting even if you have limited personal knowledge of romance. 1/2

#songoftheday “Sign Your Name” by Sananda Maitreya is the song today, for reasons. I’m not spelling this one out for you. 😘

New poem is up about things that still threaten to bring me down. My son needs me and if I don’t find ways to process prior events, I will not be fit to continue to fight. thedefunctdiva.wordpress.com/2025/02/14/c...

I remember when the pandemic started and they were handing out free masks. And some of the folks here burned them in protest outside the Capitol. Because you know, it was an “assault on their freedoms.” 1/2

#songoftheday “My Funny Valentine,” by Rogers and Hart, has a gorgeous melody. We sang it as a ballad in one of my high school jazz choirs. I used to think it romantic. But recently I revisited the lyrics, and exclaimed aloud, “What IS this? Negging?” 1/3

A line from “Mission Impossible” (1996) keeps echoing in my head today: “Kittridge, you’ve never seen me very upset.” I just listened to the clip and now the entire scene is haunting me. Buckle up, buttercups
