theme song: sing

[mellowtigger]

Ugh, insomnia. On good weeks, I'm asleep before my head hits the pillow. Other weeks, it's just exhaustion without the respite of unconsciousness. It would be convenient if brains came with OFF switches.  Between work and politics and other issues, my brain has too much to ponder these days.  I almost let October slip by without a music post. I need something light-hearted to think about.

I think it's time to "Sing", perhaps singing along with the Dresden Dolls.

There is this thing that's like touching except you don't touch
Back in the day it just went without saying at all
All the world's history gradually dying of shock
There is thing that's like talking except you don't talk
You sing

Or, if you prefer old school, then "Sing" with Karen Carpenter and children at the Budokan in Tokyo, Japan.

I do try to keep some of my idiosyncrasies private, but I'm pretty sure that I weirded someone out this summer when I rode near them (not seeing them early enough to quit while outside of hearing range) while I was doing the Sesame Street "Sing" song from the Carpenters.  Crazy people ride bicycles too, you know.  :)
