The visual epic of Gilgamesh (II).

As you'll remember...

BRIGHT IDEA

All you need is love.

Robyn and I had agreed to exchange gifts for Valentine’s Day, but of course, there were rules. We had to create something using only things we already had in our possession. A creative love swap.

So glitter glue and scissors in hand, I went to work and fashioned a lovely frame showcasing a never before seen photo of the two of us.

Robyn on the other hand took it a step further and turned the photo frame she had created into a CD case. Inside she included a burnt CD of songs from her iTunes that had the word “love” in their title.

So inspired by this, I have decided that today’s love list would be compiled of some of my iTune love songs.


Lay All Your Love on Me – ABBA
All You Need is Love – The Beatles
Five Hebrew Love Songs – Eric Whitacre
Love Shack – B52’s
Futuresex-Lovesound – Justin Timberlake
All is Full of Love – Bjork
Stand Inside Your Love – The Smashing Pumpkins
Love and Trust – Our Lady Peace
Love Will Save the Day – David Usher
Drunks, Lovers, Sinners and Saints - Alexisonfire
Waiting for Your Love – Toto
Love Song – Sara Bareilles
Sex, Love and Honey – Raine Maida
Where’s the Love? – Hanson
Love is all Around – Sloan
Almost Lover – A Fine Frenzy
From My Own True Love (Lost at Sea) – The Decemberists
The Limit to Your Love – Feist
Your Ex-Lover is Dead – Stars
Hate This and I’ll Love You – Muse
Love Type Thing – Tegan and Sara
A Loverless Bed – Sufjan Stevens
Love Affair – Regina Spektor


Maybe there will be a song in there you haven’t heard before and you’ll learn to love it like I have. :)

DO YOU HAVE A DIFFERENT LOVE SONG LIST? LET ME SEE IT.

That dress looks nice on you.

Like a rabbit's ear or a rabbit's belly or some even softer rabbit space.

It’s one of those days, you know?

A bolognie and fried eggs kind of day. A sitting around in my XXL Pink Floyd hoodie watching episode after episode of Scrubs kind of day. A nothing seems important but everything is looming kind of day.

You know?

I’ve been busting my ass this past week, preparing for midterms like it actually matters whether I get an 80 over a 70 (for the record, it does not).

And now I have a night of pausing before I go back at it again tomorrow.

Novels must be read. Essays must be written. Verbs must be conjugated.

I wish you a many a Valentine tomorrow, blog readers.
