Needed to share this song

I really like this song

and wish the B.E.P. would make a music video of it

It rained all day in Cleveland today

and I felt rather out of place wearing my brown dress, with my silk scarf.

I came home and packed, for what feels like the umpteenth time in my life. It was strange to see what I had accumulated and had not during the past four years. My books I can still not let go, though I am giving away some medical books that the internet has since replaced. I threw away some photos and memorabilia from friends in the past - sad to see them go, but new keepsakes and loves need their room in both space and the heart. I anticipate feeling a twinge of sadness when my apartment looks empty again, prepped and sterilized for the next new tenant.

I have been reading Patti Smith's "Just Kids." Her sense of memory resonates with me. I know how vivid it all can be. Some things never quite leave you. I wonder if, in time, I, too, will extrapolate the great quiet messages that accompany our strongest memories, and how my feelings will change.

I think I shall take up writing again. Too much goes by and gets lost in the frenzy of intern year. Just a few snippets a day. Just like I did in high school. That's my therapy to myself.

I would like to...

... write sestinas
... stop thinking about certain people at inopportune times
... go for long walks along the canal
... enjoy the sun and friends before med school ends

Detox

My cup is too full.

I don't care what nerve says....

I think this is pretty damn good!

"Hysteric"

It's a pretty good one, and ideal for those end of years. If only the Yeah Yeah Yeahs had made a video of it!
