Needs.

I need a sound booth in my kitchen.

I sing while doing dishes.  It’s the only thing that keeps me from wanting to kill the world.  I feel bad about it, because we live in an apartment right above the landlord and I’m really conscious about making too much noise.  I can’t help it, they taught me how to belt in school and it’s hard not to.  So, I need some sort of sound booth.  With a sink.

Incidentally, I’ve noticed that my songbook is that of a 90-year-old woman.  This was confirmed this summer when two friends and I were in a restaurant when a 90-year-old took to the piano and I knew Every. Single. Song. Some songs in the dishes tune-belting rotation:

  • Body and Soul
  • A Nightingale Sang in Berkeley Square
  • Our Love Is Here To Stay
  • Something’s Got To Give
  • Skylark
  • Paper Moon
  • Fever
  • My Funny Valentine
  • Time After Time
  • What Are You Doing for the Rest of Your Life?
  • The Man that Got Away

Everything’s cool over here with the dishes in Lounge Land.  Don’t mind me. I’m just gonna be draped across this piano.

(Note: Thinking about swiping the Mr.’s recording gear so I can hear what exactly it is that I’m torturing the landlord with, buuuuuut maybe not.)

  2. helms-deep said: Ugh, dishes. Good list of songs though. Takes me back to auditions for show choir. Wait…did I just admit to that?
