Sunday's Ramblings

I saw Burn After Reading last night with Beth and Mike. It was good, though I was sleepy and a little antsy during parts. The Cohen brothers (sp?) didn't dissapoint. All in all it was a good movie.

I can't stop listening to What Can I Say by Brandi Carlile -- makes my head sway from side to side every time it plays on my iTunes list or on a CD in my car. Funny that I didn't pay attention to the words until like the 20th time I'd listened to it and in a generic way the words make sense for my life as well:

Written by Tim Hanseroth

Look to the clock on the wall
Hands hardly moving at all
I can't stand the state that I'm in
Sometimes it feels like the wall's closing in

Oh Lord what can I say
I'm so sad since you went away
Time time tickin' on me
Alone is the last place I wanted to be
Lord what can I say

Try and burn my troubles away
Drown my sorrow the same way
It seems no matter how hard I try
It feels like there's something just missing inside

Oh Lord what can I say
I'm so sad since you went away
Time time tickin' on me
Alone is the last place I wanted to be
Lord what can I say
Oh Lord what can I say

How many rules can I break
How many lies can I make
How many roads must I turn
To find me a place where the bridge hasn't burned

Oh Lord what can I say
I'm so sad since you went away
Time time tickin' on me
Alone is the last place I wanted to be

Oh Lord what can I say
I'm so sad since you went away
Time time tickin' on me
Alone is the last place I wanted to be
Lord what can I say
Oh Lord what can I say

It makes me oddly happy even though it seems to be a such a sad song wrapped up in dancing melody. There's something about Brandi Carlile that just hits me these days. Brandi Carlile and Patty Griffin.... my dream concert would headline both of them individually and then together at the end.

Today is one of my every other Sundays volunteering at Good Mews (cat shelter). Every time I go I want a cat more and more but I haven't found the right one for me just yet. Though Otis gave me a hug last week....
