September Song Project

Welcome to the third set!

The September Song Project was something I started in 2019; the basic idea behind it is to get back into writing more regularly as the vestiges of summer take on more autumnal hues and – in doing so – to use Music as Muse.

If you’d like to see some examples of past posts, feel free to scroll through the archives here.

Otherwise, if you’d like to join me, the general ‘how-to’ is as follows:

The September Song Project: Third Set

What It Is: a musically-inspired writing/posting project

How It Works: use music in some form/fashion (styles, genres, lyrics, instruments, periods, dynamics, band names, song titles, etc.) as inspiration for creating new content on your blog

When It Takes Place: September 1-30, 2021

Posting Schedule: post as little or as often as you wish within the month of September — do whatever works for you!

Allowable Topics: whatever you want to write about

How To Join: {1} create a musically-inspired post, {2} note within the post that you are playing along with a link back to this page (use of the badge is optional), and {3} let me know you are playing in the comments below so I can come find you

And that’s it!

Saturday Night Fever: Old-Fashioned

So we’re at the outlet mall, right? (This is an unusual place for us to visit during ‘normal’ times; even more so after 18 months of shut-down-the-world. However, I’m in the mood to shop — I have things I need for work that need to be tried on and are not easily found second-hand — and I’m sick to death of the unexciting/unreliable retail experiences available online.) And I pull out this blue sweatshirt(?) that has little tigers on it and I’m like…

“Is this cute?”

My husband just looks at me.

Looks at the shirt, looks at me.

Looks some more.

“It’s a grandma shirt, isn’t it?” I ask.

“I’m not sure how you want me to answer that,” he says.

“But it’s a cute grandma shirt.”

“Uhmmm…”

“I’m gonna get it.”

“There ya go, hon. Embrace your oldness!”

OLDNESS, schmoldness.

: laugh :

I can be fierce in this shirt! I mean, look:

This fellow won a blue ribbon.

(We went to a fair over the weekend.)

“We should get a rooster” -and- “Maybe we should get a gurnsey cow” -and- “Why don’t we have a llama of our own?” are common subjects of discussion between my spouse and I after attending one of these events.

Of course, the logical answers are “They attract rats” -and- “You wouldn’t be able to handle the poop” -and- “We wouldn’t be able to ride him, so why bother?”

But it is fun to the talk about the possibilities.

“We could buy that old bus we saw sitting out in front of the reptile zoo1 and load it up with our freshly minted llama…” I start,

“…and drive it from here to South America,” he continues, “with the rooster in a rack on the top.”

And so forth.

: laugh :

You know… All the completely PRACTICAL planning steps to creating new adventures in life.

And it all begins at the fair. 😛

In other news, where cocks are concerned, I had a rather strange dream about some the other night. I don’t really remember the details, but Goldie Hawn was there and somehow we were testing the usefulness of cocks (of the penis variety) — which had been detached from their owners and were laid out on a board with labels for whose was whose — and most of them got hard fast, came (too) quickly, and were grossly misshapen.

Needless to say — unlike the pretty fella up above — none of the dream cocks were Prize Cocks.

Go ahead and armchair-psych that one if you want to entertain yourself for a minute.
