Saturday Morning Music

I love my Saturday mornings. Though honestly, I wish they didn't typically start so early. Hello, 5 am how are you? But it's nice to not have to race around, getting ready to haul my carcass down to the office... it's nice to just get to chill out with some coffee and the feline companion purring contentedly in my lap. I typically try to get caught up on LJ, knock out a little writing, read some news and generally just relax a bit.

And of course, there is music. There is always music. What that music might be depends on my mood, I suppose. But, I figured I'd share today's Saturday playlist with you guys.

It's been a Pink Floyd morning for me. Don't know why exactly. But for whatever reason, the music was just calling out to me this morning.

Especially this one... though I can sort of figure out why this one was resonating with me:

Here's another Floyd classic:

And another:

Simply put, one of the greatest songs ever written:

Just one more and I'll spare you. This is from Roger Waters' solo tour... I love all things Floyd but I am totally partial to the Waters era of the band.

So what's on YOUR Saturday morning playlist, folks? Bonus points for video links!

Good Saturday, kiddies! And how are you today my fine, feathered friends? How was your week and did you make it through unscathed?

I've been frittering away my morning with some LJ'ing, writing and pondering... as you can see by my last post. Ahem.

For a short week, it felt like a long one, I tell you. I'm just thankful it's over. I need to start getting myself together to head on over to pixie117's as usual. Poor miss Annabelle had her surgery yesterday so she's in recovery mode. The trick is going to be to keep her calm and mellow. She's a very excitable puppy. lol... So it's going to be a mellow evening in... good thing we have Game 2 of the Stanley Cup finals on tonight! And it's scientifically proven that Stanley Cup hockey aids the healing process so it will be important that Annabelle watch the game. I have no ulterior motives at all. None. Zero. Get those thoughts out of your heads. It's for the puppy!

In all seriousness, I'm keeping everything crossed for Annabelle. This poor pup has been through the freaking wringer the last couple of weeks. I'm hoping that the surgery will be the end of the line for whatever nasty thing was attacking her. Hopefully removing the infected section and the mass amounts of antibiotics she's on will combine to wipe out the infection and she's on the road to a quick, full recovery. I loves that puppy and I know her mama is worried about her. So she needs to get back on her feet sooner rather than later!

So it will be a mellow weekend... we'll likely finish off Season 1 of Game of Thrones. Yay!!! Except boo also because Season 2 won't be out on DVD for a while yet. But I think they're doing such a great job adapting the books to TV. It's a really great series and I'm enjoying the hell out of it. It's a very fun show. We made it through about half of it last weekend so I'm looking forward to seeing more.

There are also a few writerly-type things that have to be done this weekend as well. So she'll be helping me wrap up a few things that need to be finished and put to bed once and for all. So that's a good thing! And of course, there will be lots of downtime. After the last couple of weeks, pixie117 needs it.

So... on to you, my friends. How was your week? How did the Universe treat you? Was it kind? Cruel? Totally indifferent? What's up in your worlds?

You know the drill by now, I'm sure. Got a funny story to share? A good joke? Or a really bad joke for that matter? Need to get something off your chest? Need to clear the air? Need to get up on your soapbox and rant to the world? This is the place for it. This is where you are welcome to purge whatever is in that brain of yours. Anything and everything is welcomed and encouraged. This is your sandbox so feel free to jump on in!

As always, the Purge Bucket is open for your convenience... spew forth, my friends!
