unmotivated...and music obsessed, now!

i am so unmotivated these days and i blame it all on the summer! i haven't worked on anything craft related with any kind of regularity since last month. i have read more than i normally do...having read through the twilight series twice in less than a month! now i'm back to reading harry potter, having started goblet of fire today. the hope is always that i will reread the series up to & including the one that is currently in theaters, before i actually go see the movie...i give myself about 3 weeks from opening day before i actually breakdown & go see the movie. i figure that within that time i've read the books (again) and the crowds are thinned out so i can really enjoy the movie! it's worked pretty well in the past and this year i told stephen that i would take him with me. normally i wait til it's on dvd before i let him watch it, but since he is getting older i thought this would be fine.

but now my book/reading obsession has veered off to a music obsession as well! i've always liked music of nearly all kinds...i've never much enjoyed rap or metal so i tend to avoid those (nothing against those who do like that music, it's just not for me!). anyway, since watching twilight i have "discovered" two bands (paramore and mutemath) that i now absolutely love and cannot get enough of their music! i have purchased and downloaded their latest albums & listen to them daily, while anxiously awaiting their newest releases later this year! for the most part, i can be found with headphones stuck in my ears, either attached to my laptop or my mp3 player, listening to those bands while i read, workout, clean, and just generally go about my day! i find that music in my ears helps to drown out the shows that my children insist on watching, that i can't quite frankly deal with on a daily basis! luke thinks i'm just trying to ignore the kids, but it really is their shows, movies, games, etc. that i'm ignoring by always having the headphones in my ears!

that seems to be where i find myself today...unmotivated to do anything but read and listen to music. and a bit obsessed about the music that i am choosing to listen too!
