Erm...What?

So I'm currently sitting in the library, a.k.a. the HBLL (pronounced H-Bill) and I SHOULD be studying. I keep staring at my astronomy (yes, I am taking astronomy and it is boring but comfortable in those planetarium seats that are padded and GASP! recline)and thinking, "Wow, I could be doing so much more right now...like watching Wentworth Miller on 'Prison Break' or even shoe shopping. Or sleeping. Or reading. Or not doing astronomy." But seeing as how my homework is due in a few days and I also have a test this weekend, I should probably get a move on that study guide. It's just that words like "diurnal" make me think of men's restrooms for some reason and then I start laughing out loud and people glare at me. It's a bit of dilemma.

SOLUTION: I will blog to get the creative juices flowing and the wheels turning in my brain. What will this blog be about, you may ask? Well, let me just tell you!

The playlist that ROCKS your SOCKS. I even put one together for your enjoyment...sorry if it interrupted YOUR music with it's automatic 'play' feature. Forgive me.

1. Glorious- Muse
Oh. Just listen to how that starts and then how it all comes together. Matt Bellamy owns my SOUL when it comes to music. I'm obsessed with the guitar in this song. I could listen to it all day long.
2. Dizzy- Jimmy Eat World
Jimmy Eat World never fails at putting out a song that makes me want to sing at the top of my lungs (did that with this song at the concert and I sung so loud and hard, I almost passed out...whoops!) or that has a real emotion that I cannot describe.
3. Why Does it Always Rain on Me- Travis
Just recently discovered on...who would have guessed it, Stephenie Meyer's website. Many of these songs were actually discovered there. I'm a big fan of his voice and the chill-ness of the music.
4. No Cars Go- The Arcade Fire
Where have The Arcade Fire been all my life? Really, I need everything and anything by them because they truly are musicians in every way. Again, I love his voice and the more retro feeling of this song.
5. Orange Sky- Alexi Murdoch
If I smoked weed (which I don't), this would be the song I would do it to. Chill, relaxed, and soothing: perfect weed smoking music. And he's got an accent. A British one to be exact.
6. Hang Me Up to Dry- Cold War Kids
Back to something maybe a little more eclectic, but I really like the bass and guitar in this song. Listen to it in the car and it's a lot more fun. I like how dark it is too.
7. The Scientist- Coldplay
My favorite of all the Coldplay songs. Chris Martin is an artist and this song is just amazing. The thing I love about Coldplay is that they use piano in almost every song. This song is just about the best one for that, except maybe Clocks.
8. Map of the Problematique- Muse
WORDS CANNOT DESCRIBE. This song has the most incredible beginning, amazing guitar playing by Matt Bellamy, good bass for the car, and the lyrics? Oh...just steal me away Matt...I will go wherever you want me to as long as you play this song for me. Every time I hear it, I turn it up as loud as my ears will allow without my eardrums breaking.
9. We Looked Like Giants- Death Cab for Cutie
Death Cab puts out good stuff. And I really love listening to Ben Gibbard's voice. It's very interesting and distinctive. Good, good stuff. This song is a bit of a scandal, but that doesn't stop me from loving it.
10. I'm Ready, I Am- The Format
My thanks to Megan Winegar for introducing me to The Format. I'm very much a big fan as of right now. And I'm very sad that they have broken up...tears.
11. Split Screen Sadness- John Mayer
John Mayer...my first real concert. And it was a good one. This song is my kind of song: slow and depressing. Love it.
12. Release Me- Mae
This song is for Annie Davies. We listened to it far too often in London. It's just...yum.
13. The Special Two- Missy Higgins
Missy Higgins is one of two female artists I like. The other is Sara Bareilles. Another slow song that just makes me happy. Piano...kills me.
14. The Lining is Silver- Relient K
I found this song randomly when I was trying to find a preview for The Office on youtube. But then I knew I needed to own it. So now I love it.
15. Gravity- Sara Bareilles
Oh...this song. The lyrics just rip my heard out and then stomp on them in a lemon and lime filled tub. DRAMATIC? Yes. Overly so. But it is STILL a great song.

16. Wouldn't it Be Nice- The Beach Boys
Heh. This song makes me chuckle. Besides, who doesn't love the Beach Boys?
17. Decora- Spoon
Just found this song today actually. Spoon is one of those bands you hear on t.v. shows like The O.C. and the new 90210 that makes you grateful they have good music but sad that it is on those shows. Indie rock like Spoon is what makes those shows bearable. And then you go and buy the soundtrack so you can have that one song.
18. Supermassive Black Hole- Muse
Pure sexy. That is the only phrase that can be used to describe this song. It is everything that is sexy in this world.
19. Invincible- OK Go
I love the greatness that is this song. It makes me want to start dancing like a maniac and scream the lyrics as loud as possible.

And now I return to the world, or rather the universe, of Galileo and Copernicus. Then on to the world of carbon double bonds and constitutional isomerism. Followed by DNA and proteins...it never ends. Will graduation ever come?
