Why is it that when you put words to music suddenly you can't understand the words and you have no clue what the artist is saying when he/she is singing the song? Maybe some people have better ears for these kind of these of things. There is the occasional song that I know all the words to, or have looked them up, or after listening tens or hundreds of times I finally get it, who knows, but I suppose that for me, at least, it is the beat, rhythm, or melody that moves me.

I suppose that is why I always seem to like songs that are just sung along with the guitar, or the old-school kind of rap from people like Method Man, Wu-Tang clan, even Cyprus Hill! It's the sound rather than the words. Same sort of deal with classical music, it's just melodies for a different mood.

Anyway, the excitment for today was that Jenny and I teamed up and completed the crossword puzzle from Monday's NY Times. Apparently Monday is has the easiest puzzle and it just gets progressively more challenging each day of the week, but it's a start! The two most exciting words we finally figured out:

famous large deep-blue rock: HOPEDIAMOND
seized illegaly: USURPED

Finally, in the world of biophysics, Steve has decided NOT to go to Michigan which makes me very happy. Now after this rotation I will go back to the theoretical world.

Ok, just some random thoughts to keep up the blog momentum.

Ok, here is another useless thought that I had yesterday while eating very tasty cookies. Pillsbury has these cookies that I suppose are seasonal, plain sugar cookies that have a pumpkin, or tree, or heart, or in this case a bunny-depending on the appropriate holiday. I know these cookies are just full of chemicals, however I love baking just a few at a time and having nice warm just-baked cookies any time I desire. Well, last night I was making my cookies that have this bunny on them and I had a flashback to the Donnie Darko movie. For those of you who have not seen this movie there is a freaky bunny in the movie and now my cookies are scary.

If I can figure out how to post pictures I will show you pictures.

Will I continue to eat these cookies? Of course! I will just have to push the scary freaky bunny out of my mind.
