Waking Ear

We have a pact, you and I. I write down what song I had in my head when I woke up in the morning. And, maybe, why. You click on "What's in your waking ear?" and tell me what's in your head right now. We discover new music and maybe learn something about how our minds work. Yeah?

Attention: It is now time for bloggers to stop using the words "bananas" and "binoculars" to describe really cool music. If I had been posting with any regularity, I would have used them too, because they are fun words. But enough already.

Also, I just figured out what "trill" means. I can't believe it took me so long.

Reason #546,783 why I love the Internet: Amazon.com's discounted gift certificates to local restaurants, many of them quite good. A $25 gift certificate to Campisi's for $10? Hell yes.

We call them Waking Ears; others call the "earworms." But now, this we know: the dang-blasted things reside in your auditory cortex. And you can partially blame Brodmann's area 22 for those times when you have "Ob-La-Di, Ob-La-Da" in your head.

I'm sorry I've been AWOL, but I'm going to ask you for a favor anyway. Chelle broke her ankle last weekend playing Ultimate Frisbee (a sport I have warned her against playing on pure moral grounds, of course, but that's another issue at the moment) and apparently it's a pretty bad break that's going to require surgery and physical therapy. It's a bummer because Chelle is like Jazzercise Barbie or something and she's always really active and out and about and I know it's killing her to be laid up like this.

So. Please send the good thoughts and stuff her way. I don't think she'll be spending a lot of time near a computer in the next few days, but if you make some well-wishing comments I'll print 'em out and make sure she sees them.
