Okay, so I realized that the post yesterday, although hilariously typo-filled, was not a true stream of conscious blog, because my conscious was being manipulated through the watching of TV shows and unable to stream unburdened. So now I'm going to do another stream of consciousness blog, while listening to some delicious Vitamin String Quartet music that I just got yesterday (Weee!). Music is more stream of conscious-y than TV shows, so this should work better.
I once did this for a high school English class. I wrote a crime drama interspursed with my musings about whether this actually works while the class listened to some bluey/jazz music (I can't really remember). It was pretty cool, actually, and as it turned out it worked.
Right now, "Welcome to the Jungle" is playing and I just realized I haven't corrected my German homework. It's a good thing I got out of my lab class early, so I actually have time to fool around doing this. This song is making me uneasy. I'm switching it.
So I TOTALLY, so very much love "Iris" by the Googoo Dolls. It's one of the only song's I have rated on my iTunes. I was very happy to find the string quartet version did it justice. This stream of consciouness isn't as fun without my random yells at the TV or without my mind wondering into a crime drama. But this song is too mellow to inspire a crime drama... Nope... nothing's coming to mind.
I am seeing, however, a sail boat sailing down a slightly choppy river. There are storm clouds behind it and the single figure in the sail boat is trying to get somewhere before the storm hits and tares his boat to ribbons. But that's what I usually think about when I listen to this song. Where he is going or coming from changes from listen to listen. Right now there's land ahead of him, which you can only just see through the fog. Green mountains are rising out of the top of the island (it's apparently an island). There's a port town appearing out of the fog. That's good. He'll have some place to dock. But the storms starting to roll in might fast, he better hurry. I don't think he's gonna make it. Especially since the music isn't getting dramatic enough. Nope, storm's starting to rain on him. There are people at the dock that can see him as he struggles to get wind in his sail (it's a windless storm apparently). Oop, song's over, storm swallowed him up.
... I liked that! I'll have to do this again with a different song. See if the little dude can finally get out of the storm. But for now, I must correct my German.
PS The string quartet "How to Save a Life" just came on. This might be more condusive to Sailor-Man actually putting up a fight in his sad little sailboat*Note to self.
