Suddenly it's 1987 all over again

[peppermintesse]

Uploaded onto the iPod last night: Music for the Masses (except for the last 4 songs aka the songs on side B of the tape) by Depeche Mode and In My Tribe by 10,000 Maniacs (the rereleased version minus "Peace Train", which I am working on acquiring), both of which I listened to almost non-stop in high school and college. Now to decide which to listen to this morning during my commute (aka the walk to the bus station). Considering I've had "What's the Matter Here?" stuck in my head since last night, I'm thinking the latter.

I am eating chocolate ice cream for breakfast. Throat is sore—not so sore that I think it's strep, but enough that I kept waking up during the night. Zzzzz.

Two more days 'til Friday, and next week's work week is only 3 days long. Halle-freakin'-lluia.

Oh, after a course of antibiotics, Rowan (eldest kitty) is back to her ol' wheezy self. Yay!

Both are great albums! I think I'm one of the few people who likes the B side of the Music for the Masses tape.

Maybe I'll try some ice cream for my throat too. I was up most of the night coughing. :( I hate that cough medicine doesn't do much.

I never listened much to the B side of that album, but I do want to lay hands on a copy of "Pleasure, Little Treasure".

I did listen to In My Tribe while walking to work, and "What's the Matter Here?" made me start to cry. It always did, and I guess it always will.

Good luck banishing your cough. The Halls cough drops and hot tea are helping me to feel a bit better. I wish I were home in bed though.
