more better

today was definitely more better than yesterday.

I feel drained though, tired. I think it's leftover from yesterday and I'm sure it'll pass. Work should be full out nutso busy for at least the next 6 weeks. Pacing is important, this is a long distance thing, not a sprint.

Because I think that Ms Winehouse is so very talented, I keep an eye out for news about her. So far, she's not become another cliched pop music casualty. I found this clip of her performing at the MOBO Awards last night. The Sun didn't have much good to say about her performance and, I'll admit that it was shakey in parts. Even still, a shakey Amy is so much better than all of the inter-changeable, high-gloss, over produced, cookie cutter pop starlettes around today. At least I think so anyway.

isn't she lovely?

Despite everything she's been going through lately, she looks and sounds remarkable. I hope she's on the other side of whatever it is that has been haunting her.

I just realized that it's thursday

Seriously.

For some reason, I got it into my head that it was Wednesday night. It's not. It's Thursday, almost the weekend. Wow.

Now, I don't like to wish the week away. I say that all of the time. But some weeks, working weeks I mean, are better than others. This particular week has not been particularly marvelous.

Having said that, I'm loving my red purse. I took it to work today and it held all of my stuff just perfectly. A friend of mine has made me promise that "should I go before her" she can have it. So there ya go, somebody make note: if I die (ooh, almost typed dye - should I colour my hair?) before Kirsty, the red Coach bag is hers!!

A while ago, I found a copy of a live performance of Ms Winehouse. It was taped in February, at the Paradiso in Amsterdam. She performed a cover of a Zutons song, Valerie. I instantly loved the song and eventually found some Zutons tunes and enjoyed them too. When stuff like that happens, musical dominoes, I'm happy. Thinking about all of the news about Amy lately though, makes me not so happy.

To me, her voice is so beautiful that it literally makes me well up when I think about what's doing to herself. Hopefully, she'll change direction and not head down an all too familiar road to ruin. I know she's pretty fucked up but I can't help but love her.
