Yellow is the color of my true love's crossbow

I am about to say something very obvious, but I am going to let myself anyway. Music can be so powerful in such unexpected ways. Driving the other day, I was listless, tired, and full of ennui so profound, I must be 21. KRCL then played my Elvis. No, not Elvis Presley or Elvis Costello, but Elvis Perkins. I am not going to say something as trite as "it made me happy" or "feel better." There was just something deeply humanizing and comforting in hearing a voice you love when you really need it. Take a listen:

New Blog

Hi, my name is Danielle, and I am addicted to blogs. I like to read blogs about everything. I read blogs about being a mom (though I am not, and do not ever plan on being one) blogs about German fashionistas, blogs about politics, blogs about anything. Perhaps I am just a voyuer. Only today did it occur to me to start my own blog. In addition to reading blogs, I talk about myself a lot. I am the girl who gets excited about buying new earrings and must tell someone. If I overhear an absurd conversation at the grocery store, I have to tell someone. Granted, I have thoughts more relevant that these, which I enjoy sharing as well. It all sounds very pathetic, and indeed, it often is. However, instead of boring my friends and loved ones with them, I will now instead just shove them into the void which is the internet.
