Tunes running around my head, through my ears, over my heart today...
"It Feels So Good"--Sonique
"Plowed"--Sponge (one of my favorite songs ever in life, ever ever)
"Brown Eyed Girl"--Van Morrison
"Human Love"--Dirty Vegas
"The Way You Love Me"--Colton Ford
"Insomnia"--Faithless
Well, that's a strange mix of Hippo and Hammerjacks, isn't it? LOL!!
One of my colleagues is the fabulous Dr. Ed Baker, who's been teaching here at Chesapeake since it was founded, I think. He's a big lively storyteller with loving words for everyone he meets, and I can only aspire to be as openhearted as he is. Anyway, he was telling me this morning that in his classes, he asks his students to come up with a "passion name" for themselves...the name that they would be called if they got to choose a name...something reflective of their personalities. Hm. I thought about that for a hot minute, and realized that if I could pick a passion name, it would be FRANCESCA. I have always loved that name. It sounds like champagne or sunshine or something. I would love for that to be my name. But I guess I've been Andree a little too long...Andree is stuck to me like glue. It would seem vacuous to change my name at this point. I feel like I could start my life over if my name were Francesca. But I have the life I have as Andree, and that's what stays.
Gotta get ready for class.

I'm pretty sure I have only heard one of those songs...and Van Morrison is right up there with Bob Dylan on my playlist...lol
What about "99"?
Romie! I love you, you crazy thing, you. Write to me and let me know what's going on in the state of confusion.
