Top Five Returns! Again! (Eventually, we can do a Top Five Top Five Blog Reboots)

Top Five Thoughts of the Day:
5. Time to get my teeth cleaned. Sheesh.
4. Kitties are the best. Evah. Especially when they distract you from writing your ethno paper by sitting on all your references, looking at you pitifully, and mwrorring.
3. The standard bell pattern (long long short long long long short) of Southern Ewe (Ghana) drumming relates to African sensibility by its cyclical as well as structural and cultural function. The repeated pattern allows for the other ensemble members to fit into the groove and add their part without disrupting the overall flow of the dance, and can be seen as a metaphor for how the individual functions within West African community life.
2. Horny. Sheesh.
1. When you're really busy and really focused on getting through the day or the week or whatever's next, do you get the feeling that everything's holding together...just barely? I feel like I've got everything together and under control, but yet it's still just hardly over the line of 'falling apart into a big ugly mess' and 'in waaaay over my head and about to drown'.
Eh. It's more fun that way.
