This is your life.... in music

Well, I've done it, I've gotten the 2nd job. yeah. Oh well, it's temporary for the trip & Xmas. At least that's what I keep telling myself. Sigh. I definitely need the cash, so that'll be good.

I've started 2 new books, trying to squeeze them in before I have no extra time. Technically 3, but I put that one down with the 1st chapter. That was "Ill made mute" by Cecilia Dart-Thornton. I bought the book, plus the 2 sequels based on the prettiness of the covers and the good reviews on the back. Yeah, I know the adage, but come on people, we all judge books (and people) by their covers. So sue me. It looks to have a decent idea for a fantasy novel, but the prose is down right aggravating. I don't think I'll go back to it.

The second book that I picked up I have a habit of confusing with IMM, which is "Ill met by moonlight", by Sarah Hoyt. I guess all books with Ill in it all look the same to me. Ha! Anyways, this is a unique view of how Shakespeare got his ideas for his stories, i.e. that they happened to him. I'm enjoying it so far, but I've been easily distracted lately. So I also started another fantasy book (I'm so on a kick) "The thief's gamble" by Juliet Mckenna which I'm totally digging. I haven't read a tradition fantasy novel since, the last Robert Jordan novel, which was # 8 or 9. We'll see if I'll finish the series.

So, I just bought 4 new cds, the bookstore was having a great cd sale. 9.99 each for a whole bunch of cds!. Awesome!!!! So I bought Nevermind, by Nirvana, MTV unplugged in New York, bu Nirvana, Appetite for Destruction, by Guns 'N Roses, and finally, The Colour & the Shape, by the Foo Fighters. Which brings me to the thought, what music has changed your perception on music & life?

Honestly, I had this whole blog planned, but I just crashed. I'll finish on that thought tomorrow. Cuz, I've spent some time thinking about this. Keep the question in mind & really come up with some music.
