Take Your Time
by Al Green
featuring Corinne Bailey Rae

I didn't leave the house today. I woke up and finished putting the video together on iDVD, and then printed the video, all while watching No Strings Attached. I also made some Evey eggs, to celebrate Portman culture. Getting back to the point, I don't know what the fuck is going on. It can't be a coincidence that all the films I'm watching have a sickening parallel with my life. It's very funny, God! When I die we'll look back and have a laugh about this one! Jesus... When Pop got home I showed him the video and ate a fantastic chicken sandwich... Damn. So good. Until mom got home I copied movies to my PS3, since spending enough alone time with the machine makes you discover new things, and after she got here, we spent some time in the kitchen for no particular reason, I vacuumed the living room for no particular reason, and then we sat down to watch the movie again. That's right. I watched it twice, a few hours apart. Judge. And after that, I felt like listening to Corinne. My parents went to do groceries, and I stayed in, with Al Green. Wrote my Sound entry, sifted through old music and through the music on the machine, and then watched Castle. CRAYZEH CASTLE!! Now the Heat game is on, and I'm wandering. Watched The Green Hornet when the game ended and everyone went to sleep, and discovered a new industry trick. 2AM.
I didn't even notice, until around 6:30, when I decided to make Take Your Time the song of the day, that today was the three hundred sixty-fifth post of The Sound. Somehow we've come full circle here... It's been a year since my first Flogging Molly post-- and I'm not even sure if I completely remember what I felt like then. Something's changed, though. A year ago I was still thinking about her. Well, that stopped a very long time ago. Now I'm... I don't know what I am. What I can tell you is that in the past year I've done my best to find a happiness and let it take over my body-- and that's something that, despite what whatever I'm going through right now tells you, I know I've done.

Don't You Remember
by Adele

Got up early and got to work on time, before 9:30! Didn't have breakfast though, so until 4 P.M. me alimenté sólo con un paquete de Corn Nuts: sabor Nacho, y una botella de Vitamin Water. Came home to watch an episode of The West Wing, falling asleep. Ate some fricasée de pollo, y me quedé dormido en el sofa mientras mi familia se iba de compras. Woke up at like 7:30, changed clothes and drove to Aventura to watch Hop at 8:30. Of course I was late, and we ended up going to an old theater - "The Intracoastal." Potiche was showing, surprisingly! Had fun during the movie-- not just because of Carlos the tyrant chick and his coup d'etat, but with Lani wincing at every tasteless (literal) gag. Took the 112 home by accident, which took me to the airport. After navigating my way out and home, I made a couple sandwiches, watched a few League episodes, and knocked out. Tomorrow I'm writing my Anthropology paper. Wish me luck.

Lani played this song on the way back to the apartment. She's a fan of Adele... Could I ask for anything more? Enjoy this. I haven't finished listening to her sophomore effort yet, due to the fact that I don't want a gratuitously broken heart, but I've been a fan of Adele since '07, back when Hometown Glory was gaining a following back in the UK. This girl surprises me constantly, and I have no doubt that she'll surpass my impossible expectations with the rest of this album-- whenever I do decide to pour myself a glass of solemnity.
