I was going to do this meme because it sounded fun:

"Go to www.popCulturemadness.com and select the year you became 18. Snip the top songs from the list and paste it in your journal. Bold the ones you liked; strike the ones you disliked; and italicize the ones you know but don't exactly like nor dislike. The ones you don't know will stay common text."

But I didn't feel anything stronger than apathy for any of the hits the year I turned 18.  Still don't, actually.

my grandmother

I finally got around to looking at the CD my dad made of photographs of my grandmother, taken throughout her life. She looked so happy when she was young, the perfect picture of a young woman in love and starting her family. She looked pretty happy when she was older, too, doing the hula, but those older photos just have a glow...
( photos, should anyone care to look, including what I looked like in 1985 or 86 )
