Quill and Me 2009: The Music and Distractions by Quill

And here's my version of 2009!

May
1. A business card for Paris Texas.

2. A little rock with eyes painted on it.....no, seriously :).

I did actually put that business card to use. My hair went from below waist length to just below my ears! My poor rock still does not have a name....

June
This month I was definitely distracted by our Pride Month shenanigans. I had rainbow nail polish on my desk and I was listening to Rufus Wainwright, Queen and "Don't Rain on My Parade"!! It's possible I might have got a little caught up in our theme :).

July
Or as I like to call it, Travel Month. I was listening to "Star Spangled Banner" by Sufjan Stevens and had my passport, tickets and guide books cluttering up my desk in preparation for a trip to Washington DC and NYC. Okay, now all this reminiscing is making me want to go back!

August to November
Apparently, I barely listened to music (but what I did listen to was good! I still have "Ces Soirees La" ny Yannick on rotation) and my desk was a distraction-free zone. Uh huh. I think is was probably more a case of, I ended up being too distracted to actually post anything! Creating that post for Talk Like a Pirate Day, for example? Very distracting. Who knew there were so many people prepared to Pirate talk for a day??
Procrastination, thy name is Quill.

December
I break out the Christmas music as early as is decent. By this I mean right on the dot of the first of December. "It Came Upon a Midnight Clear" is one of my all-time favorite Christmas songs and Jack Johnson's version of Rudolph is brilliant.
I still have not conquered Traveline (the UK's transport website) but I will not be defeated! I'm going to figure public transport out in the UK if it kills me.

And that's it from me for the year! A very Happy New Year to all and we'll see you in January!

later,
Quill

  1. It Came Upon a Midnight Clear" is one of my all-time favorite Christmas songs. I so owe you big time for posting this one. I hadn't heard it! It's now one of my favs, too. :D

    I'm going to figure public transport out in the UK if it kills me. Good luck with that!
