This blue right here
May 17th
OK, so here’s how the color turned out. Pic is slightly fuzzy, but that’s because I have the Too-Many-Cups-Of-Coffee jitters. Cup for breakfast, cup for lunch. Whoever made the coffee this morning did a really good job.
Special appearance by my blink ring.
I think it's bluer in the sunlight, but I couldn't be bothered to go outside.
I’ve hit the productivity wall. I think it’s time to go home.
JOY Day 312: “A Kind of Magic”
May 17th
It is best-day-of-the-week Thursday, the cream filling between punk-rock-socks Wednesday and Friday-shirt Friday. Rock on!
Queen’s Greatest Hits II is my getting-ready-for-work soundtrack this morning. (Epic days should kick off with epic music.) Of the three “official” Greatest Hits albums, I think II is just barely my favorite. I listened to a lot of Queen toward the end of my time in Chas, and Greatest Hits II was my Time-To-Drive-To-Walmart(!) music. I am indeed a creature of habit.
From “A Kind of Magic,” Queen, A Kind of Magic, 1986:
It’s a kind of magic.
It’s a kind of magic.
A kind of magic (no way) –One dream, one soul, one prize, one goal,
One golden glance of what should be.
It’s a kind of magic.
One shaft of light that shows the way.
No mortal man can win this day.
It’s a kind of magic.
The bell that rings inside your mind
Is challenging the doors of time.
It’s a kind of magic.
OK. Time to roll down the windows and crank up the music. I’ve got my purple sunglasses, a bottle of Abita root beer (I’ll share!), blue hair and adorable earrings. Ooh, and purple lip gloss. Yes, that will do just fine. Punk-rock-socks Wednesday might be over, but the music lives on!
