So the very first thing I do every morning at work is come in and turn on our XM satellite receiver. I've developed this weird superstition where the first song that comes on will foreshadow how the day will go. Sometimes this really feels true. I'll get Ryan Adams' "Let it Ride" and it'll make me try to gloss over the problems of the day. Or sometimes I'll get some wailey Sarah McLachlan song and I'll know it's gonna be a long one.
I've been very moody lately, which I hate. Predictably the song every morning has been abysmal. Yesterday I swear it was "Names" by Cat Power. Ack. I feel good today though, and everything is very surprising somehow. I can't explain it. So I was happy to flick the on switch today and hear "In Your Eyes" by Peter Gabriel, one of my favorite songs. Of course, it was followed by "This Mess We're In", but hey, it's the first song that counts.
