Currently…in July 2014
FEELING: Dotty and dopey and dripping with dandyness! Sunny days are here at last and I’m making the most of it, stretching my legs on the sidewalks and giving flight to my fancies. I’m taking strolls and seeing sights so sweet it’s like my heart could burst. WATCHING: Monday Night is still Hulu night as…

Currently…in May 2014
FEELING: Overwhelmed and charmless. I’m so tired of dealing with people. People are stupid and aggravating! I just want to be quiet and keep to myself. I’m also exhausted and have a great, hacking cough that I can’t seem to shake. WATCHING: Just as RuPaul’s Drag Race is winding down, a new season of Louie…

Last Word
I saw a post like this on Sometimes Sweet and thought it would be a nice way to get back into the swing of blogging by way of TALKING ABOUT ME. Yeah, I’ve been busy. I have other friends. So what? Here ya go. Last thing you cooked: I don’t know if it counts as…

Currently… in April 2014
FEELING: I am working on healing. I’m trying to eat better, and work through some personal issues that I’ve been having. I’m trying to let go of a lot of my control issues, enjoy just “being”, and not worrying. WATCHING: I just discovered Breaking Amish – talk about gripping! I’m also enjoying the animated…

New Things
So this isn’t so much all NEW things. I would call this list “Something old, something new, something borrowed” because the something blue is ME! Winter keeps dragging on with no end in sight and I am SICK OF IT. So here’s what I’m using to get through: SOMETHING OLD: I have become re-addicted to…

Not For Typical Girls
If you have an hour and a half to kill watching some amazing rock and roll documentary, may I suggest this one? [youtube https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BVEsta-GPso?rel=0] Last year, it seemed as though punk was all the rage, with the Punk: Chaos to Couture exhibit at the Met, and all the imitators. What I love about punk is…

Currently…in February 2014
It’s been a year of “Currently” posts! And what a year since I’ve started! Phew! FEELING: Dizzy and giddy and hopeful and delighted! Valentine’s Day is coming up and I don’t care what people say, I FUCKING LOVE VALENTINE’S DAY! For crying out loud, I have hearts and roses tattooed on me. I’m the biggest…

3 AM
I don’t know if it’s stress, or neighbors, or some weird biological fault of mine, but for the past few weeks as far back as I can remember, I have been waking up at 3am every morning. [youtube https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C-Naa1HXeDQ?rel=0] Oh, I must be lonely. That must be it. And when I say “awake,” I mean…

Epic Rap Battles of History
Mad rhymes for your Tuesday morning. Epic Rap Battles of History pits famous historical and cultural figures against one another. What do you think? 1. Adolf Hitler vs. Darth Vader [youtube https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R6U4lAtxzKo?rel=0] I think Darth Vader totally won this one! What do you think? 2. Steve Jobs vs. Bill Gates [youtube https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=njos57IJf-0?rel=0] Bill Gates, totally!…

Atheist Christmas Carols!
Alternet has clearly read my mind this year: they’ve produced a fairly good list of Atheist-friendly Christmas songs! Songs that do not mention Jesus, God, Saints, Angels, Miracles, or Virgin Births…because while Atheists may not like those things, we do loooove music. We need it for our baby-eating rituals! Check out the list, it’s interesting…

Let Me Take You Down
Every year, on December 8th, mourners gather at the Imagine Memorial in Strawberry Fields to sing and remember John Lennon. This year, I trudged through thick, wet snow after work to make it there. I sang “Hello, Goodbye” and “You’ve Got to Hide Your Love Away.” I tried to take a video but it was…

Re-Stringing the Pearls
So for Thanksgiving I went with my boyfriend and his entire extended family to a fancy fancy restaurant. Can you say nervous? And you know me, I would LIVE in sweatpants if I could. Getting fancy happens once in a very, very, very rare occurrence. But I donned an all-black ensemble and topped it off…

Today, the world lost a rock and roll legend. Lou Reed, frontman of The Velvet Underground, passed away at 71 years young. Rest in Peace.

Headphones In
In New York City, there is an accepted decorum for addressing someone on the train when they have their headphones in: YOU DON’T. There are exceptions, of course: 1. If they dropped something important and haven’t noticed: a large wad of cash, their iPhone, their baby. Anything else, LEAVE THEM ALONE. 2. If you are…

Awesome Weekend-Brag
Welcome back to the other side of the weekend! Working a non-traditional job, I have a weird concept of what a “weekend” is. Soucre: TV Guide Nevertheless, My weekend starts on Wednesday night (like Friday night for you folks) and Saturday is my “Sunday.” Well, this weekend I kicked off by giving an awesome private…

Skulls and Roses
Clutch your pearls and reach for the smelling salts, I’m doing an outfit post. Everybody liked this dress so much when I posted about it on Sunday Social/Instagram, I’m afraid it’s become a runaway hit. I try to save it for special occasions. Like my bracelet? I made it! I’ve been just slightly obsessed with…

My First Rock Concert(s)
I’ve alluded here before to the fact that I’m nearly 29 and have never been to a rock concert. Pause to grasp that, moving on. Last week I attended not ONE, but TWO LIVE ROCK SHOWS in 48 hours’ time. WHAT! First, I went to a place called The Canal Roomto see the music video…

Friday, I’m in Love (Songs)
These days, you don’t see me out and about without my headphones practically glued into my ears. I am so into discovering new music lately and realized to my horror recently that many of them are – gulp! – love songs! Sappy shit, who knew? So I’m sharing today, my current playlist of pathetically adorable…
