What Have You Been Up To Lately?

Me? I’ve been writing a book in my head. (First the head, then the page. That’s how we roll around here.)

Been trying to wrangle together a mix CD for my big sister, who recently got engaged. She’s having a rough time of it, though, because it’s her second marriage and her fiance’s first. Who knew [...]

Music Monday – “Trouble” by Ray LaMontagne

I’ve got my music guru Aviva to thank for this awesomeness.  Ray LaMontagne. Holy Mackerel. 
If you’re in your office right now, close the door, turn off the light and close your eyes. You won’t regret it.  

Music Monday: The Multi-Talented Theresa Andersson

I’ve got a special musical treat for you today. Theresa Andersson. WOW. This girl is just amazing. I heard her on Morning Becomes Eclectic the other day, but really, you need the video footage to appreciate exactly what she’s capable of. She has no band, so she learned how to play all the instruments she uses, and [...]

Music Monday

Really sweet video (and song) found over at Black Eiffel.  The entire video was made with still photography.  Amazing!
Listen to the lyrics and take them to heart – it’s my new anthem.

Will the Spinoffs Never Cease?

Ollie, Ollie…I meant to tell you last week.  I was brimming with pride when I was in a Japanese dance club a few Fridays ago and witnessed a massive Single Ladies rendition, a mix of Beyonce and Bob Fosse. Readers, if you haven’t read the story of why our very own Ollie is responsible for [...]

Song of the day

This is the song that got me started thinking about The City v. Felicity comparison (not that there really is one, as I think we’ve well established). This song played at the close of a City episode a few weeks back and tell me it doesn’t sound like it belongs in a slow motion montage [...]

Because California seriously has more important things to worry about than breaking up families I mean REALLY PEOPLE…

Chutzpah with a Capital “K”

Back in 2000, I was Ricky Martin’s escort at the Grammy Awards which basically entailed making sure his cute little buns were in the right place at the right time. This was back when PDiddy and JLo were all the rage (the year of the green dress, as a matter of fact, which was quite [...]

My Cold Dead Heart

Behold the best Valentine’s Day/performance email I have ever received ever in my lifetime. If you’re in Los Angeles over Valentine’s Day, clearly you need to go. Seeing the songs listed out just so made me chuckle, tough to do after a long day at the DMV.

Miss Melissa and I, aka The Captain & Chenille, [...]

A Warning and a Song

Since I have the benefit of writing to you from the future (17 hours ahead – you’d be surprised how much this helps when satellite betting during March Madness), I feel it is my duty to warn you about certain negative aspects of the future that you may be able to avoid – if you [...]
