Back to Black
I think I want to marry Amy Winehouse.
What's that? You say she's taken? Taken and a hardcore substance abuser?
Well, yeah. It figures.
| No, seriously. I hadn't been familiar with her music until quite recently. I kept hearing her name in sentences that had words like 'Paris Hilton' and 'Britney Spears' in them, so I'd assumed she was just another Britney. I can't remember what made me decide to give her a serious chance, but I'm glad I did. I've developed really peculiar listening habits over the past few years. When I find something I like, I will listen to it over and over again, losing interest in everything else. This will go on for weeks; sometimes even months. At some point I'll discover something new, and then the old favorite (The Divsion Bell) will be pushed aside and begin to sound annoying. I won't be able to go near it for a while, until I rediscover it at some point, and it becomes a favorite again. |

Back to Black is the current favorite. According to iTunes, I've listened to the entire album 35 times in the past 4 days. Something about the fusion between 40s-ish jazz and edgy contemporary lyrics is doing it for me in ways I cannot describe. So, I couldn't resist going back to black. It's not a melancholy black this time - I think I'm over it. It's more like a happy black, if there is such a thing. I'm happy with these beads. Black is cool, even though working with black glass is a I'm feeling very connected to my work lately. It might be the shapes more than the colors. Or maybe both. |
I really like the beads, they look like a piece of pop art.

OMG - very cool! I love Amy Winehouse too, even though Rehab is kinda weird, but I definitely love her voice. Very cool beads - thanks for the eye candy!

Just saw this post of yours about Amy Winehouse. I can't believe it...I had the same attitude towards her due to all that being tossed in with Paris Hilton and Britney. Then I saw her on the Grammys and WOW she is tremendous! I can't stop listening to her or watching her either! Glad to see how she inspired your beads...they're totally cool.
