"Don't Leave False Illusions Behind"
I have a full on raging cold. I spent the night guzzling special therapeutic herbal tea with honey, and watching back episodes of Buffy the Vampire Slayer on dvd via Netflix. This is too much info but I am thinking about doing that teapot thing where you get pour a salty brew literally into one side of your nose and out the other with a special ceramic pot. But that seems shocking and painful - worse than getting thrashed in an undertow. Anyone ever done it?
I think I might work on a little project when I get home. I have been having ideas of creating a soundtrack to my office and making copies for everyone when I leave. The songs in my head cover the full gamut of my 4plus years here. The optimism and hedonism of 1999, the dotBomb, happy hours, drama and intrigue, the songs that Dawn or Jeremy would blast over and over again, the music I listened to at 9:30 on a Friday night, AIMed to me by Derek as we worked with burning hatred on NGM. Personal songs about love, despair, happiness, frustration, rage, contentment, and moving on. Funny songs that are so Geographic or Society, or songs that would get stuck in all our heads because they shared a title of a project (Eye in the Sky).
Some of the songs might seem a bit too personal, some a bit too aggressive, but they’re completely honest and relevant. And um, fuck it, I’m going to be gone. :) If I make enough time, I can do CD art, pull quotes, or hopefully, full lyric sheets. Perhaps even a little interactive design a la the early Sarah McLaughlin cd’s that took advantage of cd drives in computers.
So we’ll see how motivated I am once I get home. I’ve got big plans, and low energy, perhaps one will lend to the other.
