A cool and cloudy September day… perfect for wearing boots! However, I have given the boots a break and they are at home, apart from me. Sad boots! I do love autumn. I have seen other people refer to turning on the heat at home already, but I am enjoying a break from the cost [...]

End of Summer
September 2nd, 2011 · No Comments · Endless Blathering, Music
I went with my boyfriend to see the movie Another Earth last night at Ragtag, and I pretty much hated it. I really, really disliked it. But even as I sat there, hating that movie, I didn’t know if the reason that I hated it was that it was not what I expected, or if [...]

Struggling, struggling, struggling to make a mixtape today. Well, months now. It’s been a project on my mind for months, and time is ticking by, and I have no mixtape produced. This weekend! This weekend I will finish the mixtape. My problem, among all my problems, is that this is for the guy I’ve been [...]

Atonal Hypnotoad

It’s been a busy week with house showings. I am the very definition of ambivalent towards continued interest over the weekend. Of course I want people to come and see it (the odds of selling it go up with the number of people who have seen it), and I prefer that they come while it [...]

The Last Couple of Months of My Life in Music, Sort of
April 26th, 2011 · No Comments · Endless Blathering, Links, Music
Other than cleaning out my life this spring, I’ve also seen some concerts, watched some musician biopics, and generally spent some time on the music part of the internet. Here’s kind of a roundup of my spring, music-wise. I apologize if it seems disjointed. I saw the Scissor Sisters in March at the Blue Note [...]

The Day Before Thanksgiving
November 24th, 2010 · No Comments · Holidays, Music
The day before Thanksgiving is always a quiet one in the office, and I love it. Quiet holiday workdays tend to go quickly, and that is O.K. by me. Even more so because they tend to be unofficial half-days before a four day official holiday weekend. I have a lot of plans for my four [...]

Watch This
November 2nd, 2010 · No Comments · Music
I am such a sucker for this kind of thing. And by ‘this kind of thing’, I mean current music that derives from pop music styles of the 1960s, especially when it throws in current lyrical references. This is being played on the radio as “Forget You”, but the original title is obviously superior.

In Which I Tell You How Exhausted I Am
May 4th, 2010 · 1 Comment · Music, What I Did Last Weekend
I am pleased to announce that I did, in fact, manage to ride my bike to work this morning. It is Bike, Walk, and Wheel Week in Columbia, and I am taking part like a good little citizen. I have been thinking about doing this for several weeks, but I did not actually get around [...]

Marlon Brando Is Christmas-Shopping For Me This Year
December 2nd, 2009 · No Comments · Holidays, Movies, Music
I highly recommend the Christmas Blues genre station on Pandora, if you’re looking for some new Christmas music. Lovely and lacking in sentimental schmaltz. I’m not a fan of schmaltz, as a general rule. I bought a new Christmas album, as I seem to do every year, but it hasn’t arrived despite the fact that [...]

Cold Weather and the Media I Consume

It has been rainy and chilly for the past couple of days, but it is supposed to be warmer and sunny this weekend. My fall clothes have been getting a workout, including a new pair of knee-high boots that I bought a few weeks ago. I just love them. I’ve been wearing them at least [...]
