stuck in a moment i couldn't get out of

random thoughts, for i am unwinding. emotional stress, y'know.

- okay, now that the misconception has been cleared up, i have made up my mind. i want that phone. i want that phone. phone > flash drive/mp3 player. i want it. i might even go so far as to say that i need it. i don't care how long it takes, i want it.

- this week i've learned two things on the piano: the opening notes of michael buble's everything, and the famous three-chord riff of the who's baba o' riley.

- i don't get it, music one has almost a complete back catalog of U2, but they're not carrying queen, eagles, or even the who's live at leeds? the concept of the "greatest hits" album is overrated, people; however, it is handy for the casual fan. especially when they cost only 'round P365. hooray for the "gold" collections!

- speaking of music one, now that i think of it, here are the CDs on my wish list (because, you know, i'm already feeling guilty enough for downloading and burning whole albums): the joshua tree and achtung baby by U2, the long road to eden by the eagles (when it comes out later this year), live at leeds by the who, chronicle (volumes one and two) by creedence clearwater revival, and the gold collections of both cream and the allman brothers band. and maybe rush's gold collection as well. oh, and that tribute to queen has piqued my interest.

- rush's 2112 has finished downloading! time now to immerse myself in geddy lee's rather annoying, high-pitched voice. still don't know how i can stand it. not.
