Dirty Dishes

“A full plate is married, an empty one a widow”

Jane didn’t mean to.
It was an accident.
He was cheating,
She accidentally caught him.

It had been too long, happened too often.
This wasn’t the first time she caught him.
It would be the last.
5 years 6 months 23 days together, married.
He begged for her forgiveness.
Jane screamed for an explanation.
He couldn’t give one.
Jane wouldn’t forgive.
She stabbed him,
Killed him with an unclean knife.
Soiled from that morning’s break

The Next Big Thing

For those of us always looking for some relaxing music please look no further than Melody Gardot and her album Worrisome Heart. She reminds me of Norah Jones in fluxed with something I cant quite put my finger on. Maybe Diana Krall but not quite there, regardless its good music. Relaxing and wistful with a little more power than Jones offers. She also has a little more bluegrass twang to her and a good band behind her that reminds me of  some old Ray Charles at times. The funny thing about me finding this album is that the first song was the iTunes free song of the week. I checked it out and liked it. Then being the wikipedia addict that I am I looked her up. Turns out that she is handicapped she has a nervous system disorder that makes her hypersensitive to sound and noise and she has trouble sitting while performing because of injuries from a car accident. But listen to the CD and you will never know or imagine any of that. She sounds amazing if nothing else take the free download because its good music perfect for a rainy day, or settling down  from a frantic one.
