Went out and bought myself a timer today. I expect to have a spectacular startle response when the bell rings. None of this electric beep, beep, beep for me.

Have you noticed that all of the electronic noises that inhabit our days have faded so much into the background that we only notice them by their absence? It's an extra treat when the power goes out--the luxury of silence. We don't have enough of it in this urban world. I'm a hypocrite. I'm typing and wearing earphones to listen to music so I don't become fixated on the ticking timer. Gah. Trying to not edit as I go is almost impossible.

Let's give this another shot.

There's a light samba rhythm weaving through my consciousness. The round-noted voice of the smooth singer is tasting the round syllables of a Japanese song. Conga drums are playing a basic mother beat, the strings swell behind like a sail. The sophisticated jazz syncopation of the vibraphone rides out the bridge. All I need is the sound of cocktails being shaken, ice clattering, and the sun setting into the golden hour.

Song's over. What will we have next? Ah. Intricate guitar, Spanish influence. Woot! We've got some serious dance-y stuff going on here. Yeah.
