Echoes

Ever since I got a job, I haven't updated my blog as often as I did when I was unemployed. I'll keep on trying though, I just don't know what to talk about (the job isn't really much to talk about, hint: it's a bakery).
Hmm... I've been listening to a lot of English music lately. So much good music came, and still comes, out of there. Pink Floyd is the band I've been listening to the most though. Porcupine Tree is another. The Beatles of course, King Crimson also. Also some music from other places. Landberk, Bon Iver, The Mamas and the Papas, Joan Baez, Quetzal, and Opeth.
The song Echoes by Pink Floyd is amazing, just another classic to add to the list of songs that I love by them.
It's been raining here for some days now, like 3 or 4, and the forecast says it might stay that way for the rest of the week. Yesterday I couldn't stop listening to the song California Dreamin, maybe because it's raining here, and also because it's such a good song.
I miss Norman, it was pretty laid back there, compared to here. I don't know if I just miss it because it's raining here, and gray and cloudy, or maybe this type of place just isn't my thing, or maybe because I haven't made any friends yet. Whatever the case, my spirits are not high, I wouldn't say I'm sad though. I just am.
I wonder what it's like to live in Texas. It's such a big state that I'm sure different towns have different styles. I've been there some times, but not for extended periods.
Everything here is turning green though, and it's looking a lot better than it did during the winter (even though there were some beautiful places in the winter too). So it's green and gray right now, and I'm sure it will get even greener.
Hmm... How do I end this blog with a note on echoes (in order to fit the contrived title).

This place is changing so much now, that winter is now just an echo?
I'm hearing the echoes of Norman calling me back?
I'm listening to Echoes right now (yeah, I think this one will work).
