relapse
I guess I felt entitled to a little bit of indulgence, since I had taken a stab at chipping away at my stack of reading. I’ve read less than half a book and skimmed another, though: progress which definitely does not justify my purchase of two more books this afternoon. I was in Barnes & [...]
it’s spring.
No matter what you try to tell me, the little men in my head have decided that it’s finally spring and my mood today reflects that proclamation. I feel great today.
For starters, I have a new favorite song. Not an all-time favorite song, mind you - Madonna still has that market cornered for me. I [...]
we could use a little soulshine?
Listen to this in the background while you look at today’s photo. I named the photo after the album this song is from, and for whatever reason it just works really well for me.
This is some building in Manhattan. Somewhere in Midtown. I was wandering around and I thought the spheres were really interesting, so [...]
if wishes were fishes, beggars would ride
I wish I weren’t stage managing this quarter. I’m having fun with the Tattoo Girl process, and I’m looking forward to getting started on the Bacchae, but I miss my evenings off.
If I still had my evenings off, instead of having chicken nuggets and hasty salads and hot pockets for dinner before running to rehearsal [...]
thoughts on the grammy awards
Beyonce + Tina Turner + Rollin’ on the River = the best duet I could have asked for.
I’m bummed that Amy Winehouse didn’t end up making it to the U.S. for the show. Not only would I have liked to see her perform live (as opposed to live via satellite), but it also would have [...]
I have got to get a more appropriate chair.

It’s got keys. It’s got buttons. It’s got a plug. It’s everything I need in a keyboard, considering the fact that I took maybe a year of piano lessons when I was little and the only things [...]
the most wanted/unwanted songs
Guys.
Real update to come later this evening maybe, but seriously, first, go here. Some dude did some thing and amalgamated the World’s Most Wanted Song and the World’s Most Unwanted Song.
They’re spectacular.
Truly.
Ups to Ryan, through whom I found this gem.

this is the morning report
We interrupt your daily grind to give you news on two very important subjects.
For starters, as of about 10:20 this morning, I am officially done with the Dental Epic upon which I embarked in September. Eighty jillion appointmens and nineteen gazillion dollars later, I’ve got a clean-ish bill of dental health and I don’t have [...]
two best things ever
Guys.
Are you hip to silicone baking cups?
They’re the paper things you bake muffins or cupcakes or whatever in, right, only they’re made of silicone so you can wash and reuse them, plus if you spray them with Pam they peel right off your muffins like nobody’s business. Maybe these things are super old and I [...]
