OMG. I love these songs. I say this without shame and with complete adoration of Christina Aguilera.

So tired. The rain in the past week has been ridiculous. It needs to end ( Read more... )

I feel like I repeat myself every week. I've managed to stick to all my on-going resolutions. I even bought a pair of those Reebok Easy Tone shoes. The ones in the commercial with awesome butts and legs. My butt and legs do not look nearly so toned, but it's only been a week. I like the shoes very much, and they were worth the $100 price tag ( Read more... )

I was poking around YouTube yesterday and started watching this guy's videos. ::swoon::

I need to write Greg Dulli and thank you note. I don't think I've ever felt quite so alone as this time in my life. It doesn't exactly make me feel unhappy, but it's very... sad, I suppose. I imagine everyone goes through this after a long-term relationship ends. I was just trying to stave off the feeling with Tom, and when that didn't work out ( Read more... )

Oooh, I love Lloyd. Goodness, he's good. I'm a beast, I'm a dog. Let me off the leash so I can set it off.

I didn't post about this earlier because I suck. One of my favorites, the voice I consider to be my kind of soul--Teddy Pendergrass--died several days ago. He's always been in my top five artists of all time, one of those musicians I would never want to live without. His death makes me so sad. :-( I almost cried when I found out. Then again, ( Read more... )

I'm a fan of Once and Glen Hansard, but I've been slow on the uptake with music lately. I finally got hold of The Swell Season's most recent album, Strict Joy. There is a video of YouTube of a half hour performance they did for NPR. I've embedded the first song below because it is quite lovely.

I've been so good about not eating sweets. And then a bazillion people gave me Christmas presents today that all involved cookies, chocolate, and/or nuts in some way. It's bad. I shipped half of the stuff to my grandmother's house just so I don't have the temptation.

Who is done with Christmas shopping? Me. I'm usually not one for passive ( Read more... )
