0317 Tu
  * awake 6am, hugging a pillow, with Callie singing jazz in my head
    (I don't remember the voices in my head being quite so specific)
  * up 6:20; W=186.8; drugs, nose; coffee, emergen-c
    had to go back for flonase; I've been forgetting it lately
  * charge kindle; load up mobiguide from catsittingstill's links
  * start laundry.  Should have started it hours ago.  ! chagrinned
    (Kat finished it, so everything's good.)
  & a little puttering in the office
  = http://emusician.com/tutorials/playing_concerts_second/
  * work: lunchtime talk.  So no walkies.  Grump.
  ! 4:27 oddly sad for no discernable reason
    (probably not because my deli enchilladas were made with flour tortillas.
     Who the heck makes enchilladas with flour tortillas, anyway?)
  & Buy file boxes for Chaos
  & See Colleen.  Yay for snuggles
    ! loved, loving.  12 minutes on the standing frame
    ! happy, mudita: got into wheelchair without mechanical hoist.
  ~ load some books for Colleen onto USB stick; transfer with Mac
    (not needed: she's figured out how to download from mobipocket)
  * 11:16 to bed

I don't remember my earworms as coming with specific voices attached, though it's entirely possible. Now, if this translates into an improved memory for song melodies...

I really need to make an effort to get in my walk.

Some nice snuggling on my evening visit to Colleen. It doesn't make everything better, but it helps a lot.

How else?

MY earworms are always complete recordings (Snippets, but exact instrumentation, voices if applicable.)

Mine generally feel more like reading the lyrics and hearing the melody in my head.

I get snippets of full recordings too. I've currently got Maya singing "The High Desert" in my mind, and I hope it sticks around for awhile. I've been through that territory myself, and the song just FITS so wonderfully.

I always hear specific arrangement by specific performers. If I know the song in several different versions (different arrangements and/or different performers), I tend to hear whichever version I think of as the "original" - unless there's a cover version I happen to like better. For example, I hear Frank Sinatra, always, on "One For My Baby (And One More For The Road)", but instead of the Harry Simeone Chorale, I hear Johnny Cash singing "Little Drummer Boy". Go figure.
