ubiquitouslyme

I am now over at Dreamwidth, and I was trying to see which of my friends was over here too. I know a lot of you are. Leave me a comment, and I will add you! apollonia was taken as a username, so I picked ubiquitouslyme as my new one over here...

Current Mood: hopeful

I started Monday at a Large Bank working in the credit/risk management department.

It's not exactly what I wanted to do ~~when I grew up~~ er, finished my Masters degree, but I am liking it so far. I am also still teaching on the side, which is good too.

The only downside right now is that my rheumatoid arthritis has caused my knee to swell up. The swelling is mostly gone, which is good, but there is one little place where it won't go down. Ugh.

I was going to post something introspect-y about New Years and resolutions, but I am going to have to do it Monday, when I have the house to myself.

As you can see, the end of my summer semester meant writing papers and taking tests and not posting. So I am picking the Music Meme back up where I left off...

Day 16. A song that you used to love but now hate

I loved this song when it came out. Now I cannot stand it. Too much air time?

Day 17. A song that you hear often on the radio

My favorite radio station is Rock 92 and they play a ton of Boston. A ton.

Current Mood: cheerful

Day 15. A song that describes you
This song is not well-known, nor is it popular, but it is beautiful and glorious to behold.

Current Mood: cheerful

Day 14. A song that no one would expect you to love

Current Mood: geeky

Day 12. A song from a band you hate
Sorry, I have never been able to get into Bob Marley...

Day 13. A song that is a guilty pleasure
Name says it all...

Current Mood: hot

Day 09. A song that you can dance to
I dance to a lot of songs, but this is what came to mind first...

Day 10. A song that makes you fall asleep
I have fallen asleep to the original, but I just love this version.

Day 11. A song from your favorite band
I have a lot of favorite bands. This is my most favorite one from Michigan.

This is one of my favorite non-USA bands. I wish they would release new albums!

Current Mood: mischievous

Day 05. A song that reminds you of someone

This reminds me of my friend Stacey from high school in Michigan. We went through a Beastie Boys Stage.

Day 06. A song that reminds you of somewhere

Growing up in Virginia Beach, we had a sailboat, and every Thursday night there was a race at the marina. I would go to a lot of these with my Dad, and he would play Huey Lewis and the News a lot.

Day 07. A song that reminds you of a certain event

I played French Horn for almost 10 years. After my Sophmore year in high school, at Floyd E. Kellam High School in Virginia Beach, where the band was the only reason people came to the football games, we moved to Ada, Michigan. I attended Lowell Senior High School, and the band there was only used as a reason to get out of P.E. So I started playing with a college, Grand Valley State University, an hour away from us, to play music that was the caliber I was used to. This was one of my favorite songs we did.

La Fiesta Mexicana, Mvt. I

La Fiesta Mexicana, Mvt. II

La Fiesta Mexicana, Mvt. III

Day 03. A song that makes you happy

Day 04. A song that makes you sad

Current Mood: geeky

Day 02. Your least favorite song

Enjoy!

( The Rules )

So today is Day 01. Your favorite song. This is my favorite song, from when I first heard it in Amadeus, way back when. Mozart has always and will always be my favorite composer.

This is the best version I could find on YouTube:

And this is the scene from Amadeus. Just because it rocks.

Current Mood: accomplished

bunnyjadwiga,

I know that 2009 was pretty horrid for a lot of people, and to be honest, 2010 has been no great shakes so far. One way we might make the rest of 2010 a bit better is to spread some love around. So if you care to reply to this post I will give you a response of something I like about you.
