Come on Daisy...

"...don't drown me this time
Now the sparks are gonna fly
'cause I'm turned on again
burnin' up the future"
-Catherine Wheel, "Sparks Are Gonna Fly"

I know: how random.

It's Bret's fault, though. His recent up-bringing of Kansas and Dixie Dregs had me digging through The Doghouse* last night, populating my CD wallet with all sorts of music I hadn't listened to in a while.

And now I am.

[thought mode: randomize]

Five People I am Tagging

Guess I'll give this part a miss, since I'm pretty sure this meme has been going the rounds, recently.


* "The Doghouse" is what my mother-in-law calls the largeish bonus closet off our family room, where the stairwell would have been if we'd built the house as a two-story. Mom's implication was that this is where I'd make my bed on those occasions that I was in trouble with Sweetie, but we ended up lining the entire 6'x10' back wall with shelves. About half of this space is taken up by my collection of compact discs.
