Like vs. Should

Specifically, I'm thinking about "Like vs Should" right now in the context of music.
I feel like I "should" write songs that are longer, more musically complex and emotionally deep.
But is that what I like doing? Is that even what I want to do? I like laughs. That's what I like. And that's probably what other people like to.

So... the choices are:
writing lots and lots of funny songs so that there is always fresh new material
OR
writing long/complicated songs that hold up on re-listening.

(probably I want to do both, right?)

The EP

It could be:

- less frivolous "departure"y stuff - like my "when I was a girl I was stupid" song and my "geek girl" song... with laughs still but also "purpose" and "emotion"(a la mr. darcy)
- upbeat (drums?) more fun light-hearted stuff - more in the vein of "ironically"
- the geek girl experience?

Also we should do a cover show.

Another effing goals post: physical edition

I just got a new app called "LoseIt" which makes me very happy. From what I can tell so far, it's pretty much like the cool Weight Watchers apps that my friends all have that make me jealous.
So - here's the thing. It's easy. I set a goal. And maybe I can achieve this goal?
And if I achieve this goal - I think I should get a tattoo. Because I've wanted a tattoo for a few years, but I've been too ashamed of my body to put something on it permanently.
Yay!
(tattoo idea is: <3 centered above my shoulder blades. alternatively, a Starfleet badge - but.... I don't know where that would go.)

I should be updating this blog more. Life is good. Vegas was fun. Nate is back finishing school.
