Lifelist check: Counting Crows live
I have never compiled a bucket list, or a 30 before 30 list (though I’m thinking about it, with thirty a little more than a year away!) But, even without formal list making, our little life lists start to develop. I want to see Machu Picchu before I die. And the Taj Mahal. And the […]
30 Days of Creativity: Day 3
As I racked my brain last night trying to think of something to post, I was sort of hit with this moment of panic. “Is my life really so uncreative that, two days in to this month, I’m already stumped?” I asked myself. “Do I really go through the day without doing a single creative […]
The key to happiness (because Track 01 drives me insane)
I’m hoping I’m not alone on this one, but mislabeled music, or all of those Track 01/Unknown Album/Unknown Artist labels drive me kind of crazy, especially when they’re transferred to my iPod. I’ve spent an embarrassing number of hours over the years trying to clean up iTunes, trying to avoid N’Sync and N*Sync and N […]

I’ve been cleaning and organizing around here, reading the paper and this week’s Blogging Your Way assignments, and listening to the Americana Music Awards Sampler. At the moment, it’s still a free download on Amazon. — A few […]
Because I love free
Who says there’s no such thing as a free lunch? (just attend random political get togethers on college campuses…you may have to listen to some weirdos, but they almost always have pizza) As I’m currently pieceing together a couple of part-time gigs in town and have started the search for a place to live, I’m […]
Delayed
I started a mix CD for a friend for Valentine’s Day. I wanted it to be upbeat, very loosely love-based but not too theme-y, something that makes me smile and that I thought, in turn, might make her smile. Some of the songs are beautiful. Others are cheesy and even a bit embarrassing to like. […]
I like writing, photography, reading, music, design, typography, paper products, days in the seventies and sparkly snow, Spanish wine and cans of PBR. I spent a year in Córdoba, Spain, working as a
