Recently while driving I was thumbing through my CD case and, somewhat randomly, popped in a disc that I'm pretty sure I haven't listened to in at least 2 years. The album was Dummy, by Portishead, and for several years back then it was one of my favorites. I guess I just moved on to other music for a while and kind of forgot about it.

Turns out, there's nothing like rediscovering a band you used to love and haven't heard in a while. All the giddy feelings you get when listening to music that you connect with come flooding back, and suddenly your transported back to the instant you first heard the songs and fell in love with them.

Wonderful.

I might start packing all my favorite CD's in a box and not touching them for a year or so, so that I can come back and fall for the music all over again.

On a different note, the weather down here in Texas is absolutely beautiful. 70 - 80 during the day, about 55 at night. Its almost perfect. The only bad part about it is that this is March. August is gonna suck.
