Enjoying a lovely and quiet Sunday

[alee_grrl]

Yesterday I was in a strange mood, contemplative and uncertain but not necessarily sad. It's a hard place to describe. I wrote out my thoughts though, and that and some conversations with friends on and offline helped. Today has been a good day, quiet and relaxing. My roommate and her daughter went ahead and gave me my birthday present, which was one of those car adapters that lets you route your phone/mp3 player through the FM radio and a stand to put my phone in. I went out and tested it/played around. Very exciting and will make my drive to work a little easier. :D

My dad called and we chatted for a bit. The age of electronics makes it a whole lot easier for him to remember birthdays and other anniversaries.

Right now I'm switching up the music that I had on my phone and listening to some of my more recent music discoveries/favorites. Am going to switch over and watch the last two episodes of Sleepy Hollow soon. Maybe catch up on some of the fanfic that I haven't had time to read this last week.

For those interested here are some of the songs I've been listening to a lot recently (besides the one I shared yesterday):

Katy Perry, Roar (Like "Brave" this is a very empowering song)
Delta Rae, Dance in the Graveyard and Bottom of the River
One Republic, Counting Stars
Avicii, Wake Me Up
Dido, The Girl Who Got Away, End of Night
Passenger, Let Her Go, Keep on Walking, I Hate (last song contains explicit language, but made me grin)
Swedish House Mafia, Save the World (bonus, the video is awesome and makes me misty eyed every time I watch it, bad things start to happen and then some dogs charge to the rescue.)

If you're interested here is my current favorites playlist at grooveshark.

I'm glad your strange mood morphed into a good one.

Happy early Birthday!

I *adore* Wake Me Up by Avicii!! It is on my cool songs playlist along with Katy Perry's Roar. *g*

Thank you! I've been hearing both on the radio a lot lately and really fell in love with them both. Same with Counting Stars and Let Her Go. I discovered Delta Rae over the summer, but have been listening to their stuff again more recently.

I have one of those adapters and they are the best thing ever!

Also, happy birthday!

Thank you! :D

Happy Birthday! Yay that you got an adapter that will allow you to route content from your phone through your car's stereo, that is fab. I've gotten quite spoiled by having audio books and my favorite music along for any long drives, they make the time pass much quicker.

They do make the time pass so much more quickly, and take away some of the stress of being stuck in traffic. :)
