love lost

Thanks Google Chrome - as if I'm not well aware I'm logging some extra hours these days.  Each time I open a new tab, here's the sobering reminder of my most frequented websites:

1) test.salesforce.com 
2) login.salesforce.com
3) salesforce.com
4) gmail.com
5) facebook.com

Facebook is only #5?  This project is totally inflicting upon my work/stalk balance.

Fortunately, I'm sick at creating playlists.  These days - when I'm staring at my computer screen for upwards of 14 hours - I've filled Config Zone Out* with The Temper Trap.
(insert obligatory [500] Days of Summer soundtrack shout-out here)

The entire album is magical, but Love Lost is a clear front runner - maybe that's why it's the first track!  I recommend first listening to Love Lost while driving - hopefully you're alone, it's dark and you're not hitting a lot of lights.  Oh, let's add the backdrop of rain too.  Now you're ready to love this song!

At first I didn't like the video, but when the little girls ran out (around 2:50) I felt nostalgic for the years when me and Maggie would stay up late singing Mariah Carey in the reflection of our living room window, pretending to serenade our little 4th grade crushes.
4th grade crush = Steven Wood

Ok time for me to get back to work GET A BLOODY MOVE ON!  Don't mind that I'm going to tag this Australian band with British Invasion ... hot accents ... all the same.
