Hi, I'm a title :)

...Yeah, I don't really feel like coming up with a clever title today. And '(no subject)' just won't cut it today.

Q107 did play parts three and four of the Pink Floyd story. I missed the beginning of part three, though - I also had missed the beginning of part one, actually. It was interesting. But I didn't listen to the live cut of 'Comfortable Numb' from start to finish. It was the live cut from Live 8, when they reunited for one night.

I'm still really sad about Richard Wright's passing. In fact, I think it's starting to make me a bit depressed. I didn't sleep well - I read Twilight for a bit, but then I got too tired to focus on it. But then I got so restless I had to walk around my room. And then I had a terrifying thought - I won't say exactly what the thought was. I know it's normal for a teen's mind to wander like that, but I'm still trying to tell myself, "No, you are not going to do that. Now sleep."

I had depressing thoughts once when I was nearly fourteen. My dog had died then, and my room/basement had flooded. Sometimes I'll get depressing thoughts, but then I kick them away and I feel better. I'm hoping I don't have to go on medication or something. I'm hoping this is just my typical teenage brain playing tricks on me.

Something I put on my Facebook

I heard this song yesterday during Q107's Pink Floyd weekend to honor Richard Wright. I love it. I think I had heard it before, actually. Luckily, my dad owns the album it comes from, The Division Bell. I'll have to ask him if I can put it on my computer.

Here's the video...




ETA: The song is called 'High Hopes', and it's the last track on The Division Bell.

Late night reading

Either late last night or early this morning I read Twilight and listened to The Legends of Classic Rock. Normally it's on Sunday nights and replayed on the following Saturday morning, but last night/this morning, they played parts one and two of the Pink Floyd story to honor Richard Wright's life.

Once again, the music fit well with the story. I was reading the part where Bella and Edward are eating dinner at the Italian restaurant. I normally don't read at night, but I decided to try aiming my flashlight at one spot so that I'd have enough light. It worked. I had enough light to read by, plus I had my duvet over me to keep me warm. The music soothed me, too.

I'm kinda mad at myself because I didn't pick up the phone in time a moment ago. I had music on up here and didn't here the phone ringing until it was on the last ring and going to the answering machine. Luckily, it was just the library.

I think I'll go heat up some leftover pasta that I spied in the fridge. 'Scuse me.

R.I.P. Richard Wright

I just found out this afternoon that Richard Wright from Pink Floyd has died. I was fighting tears until I couldn't any longer. I went into the kitchen to get a glass of soy milk. That was only a decoy. I cried. In the kitchen.

I cried in the living room, and my mom thought I was crying about my annoying grandparents, because I had been talking about them. But I was really crying about Richard. When I saw him on David Gilmour's Remember That Night DVD and the VH1 program I'd seen on YouTube via the Legends of Classic Rock blog, he seemed healthy. I don't know what he died of - I haven't done an internet search because sometimes the internet isn't always right.

I wanted to meet him someday. I admire him greatly. Pink Floyd just isn't the same without Richard Wright.

Update: I just found out that he died of cancer. Thank you for telling me, Taryn.
