…Love and Tenderness
I am very impatient by nature. I like to solve problems. It’s what I do! Having participated in Odyssey of the Mind (“a creative problem-solving competition”) for seven years, I always believe that there is an elegant and swift solution to any problem. And that I can find it. And solve it. What frustrates me…

Only Music
My Current Play Loop by MeghanSara on Grooveshark “I Feel Pretty” – West Side Story: Yeah, take that, Miss America, I’m freaking GORGEOUS. This song makes me feel light and happy and reminds me to love myself. “Sugar” – The Orion Experience: As if I don’t hear enough candy songs during the day at work? …

Feeling: Congested! I’m getting over the flu! I worked long hours during the worst of it. Today is my day of rest and recovery. I’m looking forward to doing a lot of nothing, sitting in a hot bath until the water turns cold around me, dragging out my orange fleece blanket, and watching trash TV…

Dream A Little Dream
I was 23. I was in love. And I was on top of the world. Figuratively and, it seemed, literally as well. I would drive to the top of the highest hill in my neighborhood and look down at the sleepy town below, pulling over to the curb and putting the car into park. Looking…

Loving: The “warmer” weather! I only wore ONE pair of leggings under my pants today. And three shirts. But it smelled like spring! Music: Portishead Portishead Portishead. And this: Reading: Warm Bodies by Isaac Marion Wanting: Everything at Bath & Body Works in the Aromatherapy Orange Ginger collection. I got this scrub and am so…

Valentine’s Day is Coming Up and That Means…
…Oh don’t look at me so coyly. Even the weekly Target ad had a two-page spread of lingerie. Roses, candles, chocolates…and on top of that, it’s cold outside. Need to generate heat somehow and hey, here’s an idea, turn up this playlist to block out the neighbor’s repetitive playing of the same song they’ve been…

A Peek At… Tom’s Restaurant
“What’s the deal with Tom’s Restaurant?” I’ll tell you. First of all, you may recognize the outside of Tom’s Restaurant as being the exterior shot used for the diner oft-visited by Jerry, Kramer, Elaine, and George in a little TV show they call Seinfeld. Secondly, this little Morningside Heights gem was immortalized in song by…

Lou Reed on How Not To Suck
Ladies and Gentlemen, my favourite song of all time: Are you swaying in your seat? Remember: You’re going to reap just what you sow.

The 70’s on Sunday
If I had a time machine, I might choose any period in time to travel to – but I might travel back to the time of the 70’s on Sunday. You may have misunderstood. The 70’s on Sunday was a weekly day-long radio show on the local oldies station where all the songs played that…

Christmas Traditions: With Bells On
This is me, “forcing festive” on my way to work. Growing up, I would take the big gold bell ornaments and dangle them from my pigtails while I decorated the tree. Jingling all the way, I’m trying to put a brave face on for this holiday. This year, I’ll be home with bells on….if only…

Christmas Traditions: Sing It Loud
My last Christmas gift this year arrived just in time. Yesterday was again marred by tragedy, and although we survived the apocalypse, sometimes losing a loved one can set your world on edge. In the big, swirling wonder of it all, the futility of life can come into question. Music has always been a great…

Christmas Tradtitions: Feliz Navidad
My family can be described unfavourably as just a wee bit competitive. Take Christmas, for example. Because someone always tries. With the best gift, the most outrageous cookies, the most festive holiday sweater. And then, there’s the family-wide radio contest that has made me jump inside my skin whenever I hear Jose Feliciano’s “Feliz Navidad.”…

Christmas Traditions: Fakin’ It
Christmas is kinda tough for me, y’all. More lately than ever, I find myself Charlie Brown-ing my way through the season aimlessly. The one upside of not going home to family for Christmas is knowing that I, unlike all you poor schlubs, don’t actually have to do any present shopping. Ha ha. But back to…

30DHN: Style Inspiration for the Season
This fall/winter, as indeed every fall/winter, I start to get a little discontent. The cold makes me angry. Layers upon layers of warm clothing needed to survive out in the windy streets feels like body armor. Hunching your shoulders around your ears against the cold feels like the shrug of a malcontent. And my fall/winter…

30DHN: A Song For The Day
Tori Amos makes me feel like and emotional and creative nincompoop sometimes. Who knows how to be their own girl? Ouch. “Girl”, Tori Amos

Past Life Regression: Musical Theatre Edition
Okay, I have to come clean. Yes, there is a new man in my life. Well, not so new. But he touches me like nobody else can, and has since I was 13 years old. This guy: Source: google.com via Rachael on Pinterest It’s Andrew Lloyd Webber, duh. Nothing like a sparkling ALW ballad to…

Imagine
Imagine you get out of work, and the sun is still shining. Imagine a cool breeze and hazy sunlight with the crisp chill of fall stinging your nose and cheeks. Imagine taking a walk through Central Park past smiling faces, laughing children, and really REALLY cute upright bass players. Imagine you’re listening to Pandora radio…

Bad Reputation
I am getting somewhat of a reputation at work. For better or for worse, the month of August has been one of me coming even further out of my shell. Having “lost” so much this month (and still not having anywhere to live next month, eek!), I have more of a devil-may-care attitude towards everything…
