Music to Snood by.
I spent a good hunk of yesterday evening listening to different internet radio stations. I was in a mood to listen to music while The Prof was out teaching his night class, but I didn’t want to listen to anything tried and true. I might live near a major metropolitan area, but most of the radio stations play the same small subset of top forty gibberish. For whatever reason, I wanted music to listen to, not music for background noise. The radio simply falls short when it comes to that.
I had bookmarked Live 365 at some time in the far distant past, and explored the stations listed there at length. I stumbled upon WomenWhoWrock.com there, and ended up spending most of my free time last night listening to that while playing Snood. There were a lot of artists I’d never heard of before, and I’m going to have to see if I can’t find out more about them.
I’ve been seriously thinking about taking one of my two weeks of vacation and going somewhere by myself. I haven’t approached The Prof about this yet, since I anticipate a less than enthusiastic response about it. I’ve been toying with this idea for a while, but then *somebody* reminded me of EarthWatch the other day. I don’t know if this is worth the grief it will cause if I try for this, but I’d dearly like to do an EarthWatch expedition and there’s no way The Prof would be interested or could afford it. I’d wanted to do one years ago, but the then-spouse wasn’t interested, and there was no way I’d have gotten to do it on my own then. I’m just kicking the idea around right now, and this might not be the year to do it in. We’ll see.
