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.
