I’ve always loved The Roches but I don’t listen to them much anymore. My significant other doesn’t find any harmony in their harmony (try Hammond Song). So I’m restricted to playing their music only when I’m in the house – alone.
Now, it’s not that that isn’t very often, but, to be fair, their music can be distracting – it’s not background noise to me, like some classical music or jazz. I prefer to blast their songs, as inspiration, while I’m cleaning, especially the grimy, tedious stuff, you know – because the music is distracting.
The problem is, I actually don’t do that kind of cleaning very often anymore (truth: I never have – I managed to marry a man who not only is good with tools but also loves to make things shine) and I don’t include the hours on end that I stand in the kitchen or laundry room doing the daily deeds.
No, I’m thinking back to the days when my college roomies and I would blast Soft Cell or Big Country through our ragged townhouse apartment the morning after a party while we mopped, swept and scrubbed away the dreck – including the occasional soon to be ex-boyfriend – from the night before. That’s how I like to hear my Roches.
But since I got the all clear yesterday from the radiologist friend, the Roches’ Big Nuthin’ has been in my head. The kids are home for the most part and I won’t really have until possibly Saturday morning, Sunday afternoon or next Friday completely to myself. But when I do, I’ll be playing this.
Maybe even from that iPod that’s still in its box that I got with my MacBook, which I am using, and conquering.
Anyway, as for the tests? Thank God, it was a big nuthin’. Just needs another MRI in six months to make sure how big a nuthin’ it is.

And, hopefully, it continues to be so.
Thanks, Jason.
Jill -
Your post is like sweet music. And so are Maggie, Terry and Suzzy. I think The Hammond Song.

Thanks, Jeff! You have good taste in music, obviously.
[...] I got to see what that looks like today, after my second follow-up MRI – the first follow-up having been after my first-ever MRI. [...]
