A little Dilly Dally..

Its 4:05am in the morning.

Ill distract by sharing a bit of what Im listening to right now, frantically trying to combat my immediate restlessness; share some Massive Attack, and easily one of my most favorite songs of all time, Teardrop.

This is a version recorded for Live from Abbey Road, a documentary series from Channel 4 in the UK. Melodically haunting yet still this tune doesn't ever seem to fail in providing me a state of ease and simplicity. I just really love it.

Delay tactics....

Im a bit behind schedule, still sorting out photos to post, and storied travel bits to point form. I know I know, late and procrastinate: its the way I do. I have a valid excuse this time though, I arrived from my 30 hr, Sydney to Abu Dhabi to Dublin travel journey last Sunday, the 30th... went to work the next day, Monday the 31st... and by 6:30am the morning of Tues. Sept 1st, I was already flying off to a new work assignment in Graz Austria. I didnt even get a chance to delete the months worth of unread emails yet. One day back in the office, still in the throes of fresh jet lag, and Im sent away the next morning at stupid o clock. I didnt get back home again till Friday midnight.. and have been a complete vegetable since. And now, not only do I have one suitcase in my livingroom waiting to be emptied and unpacked, I now have two, including the one I just brought back from my work trip. And, since Im me, those two suitcases will now sit there for a very long time, before I even bother working through them... again, its just the way I do.

Productive things I did do today though: Emptied my garbage, cleaned my kitchen, cleaned out my recycling, and purchased new pillows and a duvet set just cuz I felt like a change after being away for so long (of course, Egyptian cotton with a high thread count. We all must have some standards) Washing them right now as we speak, which, as Marty and a few others would know from experience, should be ready by November.

In the meantime (Spacehog, great song), enjoy this "People much better than me" post from Rick Reilly on Derek Jeter, date 09/04/09. The quote on #7 is probably one of the greatest quotes in the history of mankind. And Im dead serious. Who else could ever pull this off? Look at his career numbers, he's not even that great of a shortstop... yet his career women numbers is untouchable. He has successfully scooped 4 of my top 5 of all time (Jessica, Jessica, Jordana, Minka). All he is missing is Heidi Klum, and he would of went a clean sweep through my fantasy 5. The only stain really is Mariah, but only because we are thinking of crazy messed up Mariah of 2003-2009, instead of late 90s version Mariah that Derek dated, when she was still in her prime, with her Al Iafrate slapshot still in tact. Like, I don't even know what else to say.
