this week i heard a song on my car radio when driving home from work and it blew me away. made a note of a lyric and looked it up when i got home. found out it was 'happier than ever' by billie eilish. i like the video on youtube more than the radio edit, for multiple reasons. noticed how the radio version seems to cut out most of the slow first half of the song, besides of course cutting out the swear words. it starts out with her sitting on the couch and on the phone. but we do see indications that things will change. there is water dripping on the floor and the lights flicker. then she opens the door and water rushes in, and she swims to the rooftop. i like the metaphor here. and i do like the second half more, because it is not only faster but also has more passion. and as we all know, i do like passion in music. and i notice how lady singers can bring the passion when the subject is relationships. she is wearing a shirt that says 'i don't need to sell my soul'. the lyric i really like is 'don't waste the time i don't have'. as i have known way too many people who have wasted my time.
at work it was a light day for overnight packages, just 8, fewer than christmas eve. i still stayed busy for most of the day though. in the evening i went on a walk and found 61 cents. the 'big bang theory' reruns were when the friends brought zac to the comic store and they won the costume contest on new year's eve. it was followed by the one where brent spiner, data from star trek, was a guest star, at a wil wheaton party. i went to hy-vee in eagan in the evening as well, got a few pieces of christmas candy that was discounted- in addition to my typical grocery order. some different kinds than what i was seeing at walgreen. no egg nog, will have to see if aldi has any left when i go there.
