road trippin

meme oh meme oh meme

one of my blogamis has recently moved from south africa to taiwan for a while to teach english as a second language. his writings have shifted dramatically since just before his departure and it has been quite exhilarating to share the pics he posts. i especially love the shots of his class. they look just as all kids should look- playful and happy.

anyway he has nodded to me with a meme and i thought since he's so far from home, i will acknowledge and oblige. of course, he has such beautiful eyes, i probably would have just done that anyway. but, i digress.

in case you haven't stopped by his sight, he's absolute willie (ain't that a kick?) and he is charming, loves music, and has a keen eye for art and photography.

the meme is named road trippin and i am long overdue for one. so here goes....

So … you’re about to embark on a road trip to a theme party. You’re only allowed 5 CD’s, 3 essential items and are prompted to take along one outrageous/stupid item of clothing that you have to wear at the theme party to make you stand out (you must currently be in possession of this item of clothing).


Do this and then TAG 5 people:

My CD collection:

1) Feist - Reminder....priceless
2) Jamie Leidell- Multiply Addictions..........thank you Lexx
3) Nancy Lamott- Broadway Baby- .............vintage, but I love love love "Help is on the way"
4) Buddha Bar-10 years retrospective.........amazing
5) Queen Latifah-The Dana Owens album .......relaxing

Essential Items: who can name only 3?

1) cell phone
2) laptop
3) wallet
4) flashlight
5) digital camera
6) my current book- "how to be an adult in relationships"

Finally the item of clothing:

this definitely would be some baggy white gauze/y nehru collared east indian styled ensemble. easy to move, cool in crowds, and camouflages flaws, and can facilitate opaque if necessary. nearly perfect

tagg ur it!

1) northwest
2) java
3) steve
4) stephen todd- because he's getting out soon and it might be a really fun exercise for him
5) daniel

i am hoping my next roadtrip will be as fun as this musical one i took many times in the 1970's. i think you'll get my meaning. it is the trip to techno that began with these four very clever german guys with some synthesizers. another example of how travel can open a whole new world.
