Mystery Icon, and The Rabbit Song

[j_cheney]

I'm actually having a pretty good day, despite the prediction of flu. We've been having freezing mist and drizzle, but it seems to have tapered off. I got the last of the cards mailed off. The one to the cousin in Iraq will be late...USPS said the cut-off for that was 12/4...OOPS!

Laundry proceeding apace, and I was about to post about the story I'm editing when...lo and behold, one of my icons has changed. The above Icon somehow got replaced with what looked like a rock group album cover. (Bunch of guys in black standing around in front of a blank wall sort of thing). I'm going to go change my password after this.

Silly story. So Silly. Cutesy. No one dies.

I'm listening to my "Happy" Playlist, which has only songs I really like. The special songs. Looking at the titles, they don't necessarily seem happy, but they are to me.

"Happy" Playlist
Eveningland (Hem, "No Word from Tom")
Idle, or The Rabbit Song (Hem, "No Word from Tom")
Be Here Now (Ray LaMontagne, "Til the Sun Turns Black")
Praan (::shrugs::)
Naked as We Came (Iron and Wine, "Our Endless Numbered Days")
Boy with a Coin (Iron and Wine, "The Shepherd's Dog")
You Can't Lose Them All (Kim Richey, "Glimmer")
Lay it Down (Kim Richey, "Glimmer")
Failure (Kings of Convenience, "Quiet is the New Loud")
Bring it on Home (Little Big Town, "The Road to Here")


Why the Rabbit Song? I have no idea, but it really seems to speak to me.
(This may have something to do with my susecptibility ot the plot bunny)

Broken moon in the sky
Enough to pull up our eyes
From the ground where we hide
From the ground where we hide

Gonna waste some time with you
and let this world go
Keep my heart idle
Gonna waste my time with you
and let this love go
A broken heart, idle

Restless stars through the trees
Enough to fall to our knees
Make no sound so no one sees
Make no sound so no one sees

Gonna waste some time with you
and let this world go
Keep my heart idle
Gonna waste my time with you
and let this love go

by Dan Messe

No idea why I love it....

But, are you getting any writing done?

[j-cheney.livejournal.com]

Yes, almost have copy ready for you. Going through one last time now....

[camillealexa.livejournal.com]

Mystery icons? O my.

[j-cheney.livejournal.com]

Probably an electronic snafu, but I changed the password anyway...

[displacedtexan.livejournal.com]

Did you save the icon? Sounds like it might have been interesting.

[j-cheney.livejournal.com]

No! delete delete delete! I could have been the forefront of an invasion...BEACHHEAD EVENT!

I'm glad you're having a good day.

The icon change thing happened to me a couple of months ago, then it went back to normal a few days later. LJ posted something about it at the time.

Ah, good to know ;o)

[jjschwabach.livejournal.com]

So, a story where no one dies is silly?

Or is it silly *and* no one dies?

[j-cheney.livejournal.com]

The latter ;o)

[shinryou.livejournal.com]

But the world needs silly and no one dies. It makes the heart lighter and the world brighter.
I like the Rabbit Song and I don't know why ether.

[j-cheney.livejournal.com]

I'm just not accustomes to writing that ;o)

I'm glad someone else likes the Rabbit Song. It's so calming ;o)

Yeah well we need brightness and light to make shadows so all us who perfer the shadows have a place to get out of the sun...LOL
