My Current Interest

                 I came across this book when I was looking for conspiracy books written by Richard Belzer.   A book about love and a search of conspiracies probably sounds like an odd combination, but there is a logical reason these two things came together.   Richard Belzer wrote the afterword for Remember How I Love You .   With the new search function my county library system has put in on their website, when I type in Richard Belzer everything involving him comes up.   This is how I went from conspiracies to love.                            Jerry Orbach portrays my favorite detective on Law & Order , Lennie Briscoe.   I watched him on the TV show Murder, She Wrote and in the movie Dirty Dancing .   Even though I did not know it until recently, I also listened to Mr. Orbach as Lumiere in the animated film Beauty and the Beast .   I have been watching Mr. Orbach for quite awhile, but I did not know much about him as a person.   He spent many years in the theater, nobody ha

               My brain is not a brain that slows down very often.   It is constantly running with one topic or another.   Always thinking, I have a tendency to combine sentences when I speak because I am trying to get both thoughts out at the same time.   This usually leads to people looking at me as though I am not too bright in the head.   That is not a look I like to see.   I know what I am saying.   It just comes out a bit jumbled because of everything else going on.   This has nothing to do with intelligence.                 Lately, in order to give my overactive brain a rest, I have taken to doing nothing.   I do not mean I just stare at the wall or lie on the couch and have my eyes glaze over watching the TV.   Instead I give myself time to just be.   Sometimes I read or do a puzzle.   Often I lay with my eyes closed and try to clear my mind of all thoughts.   No matter which direction I choose, I make sure to concentrate on one thing instead of several as I usually do.  

                  Matchbox Twenty is my favorite band.   When I pick up one of their albums I know I will enjoy it.   I would be absolutely shocked if I did not.   That is how much I like this group.   Now, this does not mean I do not have any objectivity.   I do, but I like this band so much that the negatives of an album are always far outweighed by the positives.                          To be honest, I am not sure where to start with North , Matchbox Twenty’s newest album.   It is the first completely new one in quite awhile.   There was Exile on Mainstream awhile back, but not all the songs on that one were new.   North is completely made up of new works.   When I found out this album was released, I was very anxious to hear it.                 Before I heard the whole album, I saw the videos for the two singles.   “She’s So Mean” is the first one.   It is very upbeat despite talking about a woman who is mean and does not treat the person who she is in a relationship with
