ander and kendall were here.

last night, while crisscrossing the country on a living room tour, these two stopped and played an intimate show in our workroom, and it sounded fabulous. ander's gruff voice was beautifully accompanied by kendall's sweet tone. it was a repeat performance for anders who played here a couple of years ago, but we really loved meeting kendall this time around. we hope next time their stop will include a home-cooked meal.

what is about me that causes babies to make odd expressions?

we will all be changed

seryn

in order to escape the depressing news from boston, we saw seryn late last night at plush. i found their big full sound comforting and cathartic.








ukulele!

if you can catch them live, do so. they won't disappoint.

AT house tour

a few weeks ago, we visited with mary sprague - artist, professor, and all-around cool person. she had many tales to tell about her space and the treasures she had collected over the years.

what snow?

my friend mary and i escaped a snowstorm over the weekend and headed to florida for four rounds of golf in 80 degree temperatures. i have to credit her for the brilliant idea.

my kind of interpretive dance

bam!

not once, not twice, but THREE TIMES NOW (i heard there was a 4th incident but i must not have been around), a car has slammed into these ugly ass pots.

last night, i heard the crash and witnessed the immediate aftermath. after bouncing off the concrete, the corner stop sign stopped the rolling vehicle. lucky for him, the driver wasn't hurt and there weren't cars parked on that side of the street like there are 99% of the time.

people drive too fast in this city. i've emailed our alderwoman to get reflectors installed on these stupid things. hopefully, i'll have an update soon.

holiday brush with greatness

i went to high school with these people and i love them

yes, we had a giant new year's party, and no, i didn't take pictures.

this, however, was the ONE PHOTO i managed to snap before i went to into hostess oblivion. so happy i managed to remember.

holiday music is my jam.

to save money, paper, and time, i chose not to do my customary holiday cd. postage on square items has gotten out of control. and honestly, who really listens to actual cds anymore? i, myself, am anchored to my itunes library, or on the occasion, will try out new tunes on spotify. streaming is the way of the world, me thinks.

sharing a playlist on spotify was a complete experiment, but it seems that some individuals from my list of recipients were able to listen to it at least.

for the rest of you, here's another way:

marrakech, morocco

marrakech - where we wandered and continuously got lost in the medina, snapped hundreds of pics in the jardin marjorelle (and paid our respect to yves saint laurent), and took a moroccan cooking class.
