Octobeeeeeeer! Ahhhhh this is my absolute favorite month of the year. My favorite TIME of year. I want to punch it in the face I love it so dern much. Halloween costumes – check. Pumpkins on the front porch for all the squirrels to masticate and destroy – check. New trench coat eagerly waiting for […]
Although I do think I’m actually eating a croissant here. TANT PIS, LE GARS. At last! Your Francaaaais mixtape. I will confess, my knowledge of French music was actually pretty limited before putting this playlist together. Outside of Stereolab, the Amélie soundtrack and Brigitte Bardot, I was jumping in cold! Well, cool. I know the […]
August! Yeah it completely freaks me out, too. The gremlins start KIN-DER-GAR-TEN in 15 minutes, the ’embers are right around the corner, and some of my spring potted plants are expectedly crispy on the unders. Tiiiime keeps on tickin’ tickin’, into the fuuutuuuuure. STOP IT. However, it’s my birthday month, so I refuse to get […]
Ohhhh, Clunk. I’ll never have the right words to express just how pivotal Clunk Music Hall was to so many of us 20 years (!!!) ago, but here goes. Oh look there I am with my old band! That wasn’t it. I just got distracted. Clunk. I can’t imagine WHAT I’d be tormenting my ears […]
“BEFORE I HAD STATUS AND BEFORE I HAD A PAGER.” Is there any better way to start this day than with those lyrics? No. No there is not. At last! The ’90s Hip Hop mix I’ve been promising you for ohhhh how long? Okay, less than a month. But it’s here! And it’s gooooood. It […]
Happy May Day plus an extra day in May! I think. I won’t keep you. It’s Thursday, and the rain has paused just long enough for me to get outside and get some garden ish in the ground and my window boxes pimped and the HONEYSUCKLE VINE planted (I got a honeysuckle vine! Aren’t you […]
April! About. frickin’. time. Not that I’m trying to wish life away. My jowls are squeezing the reins of time continuum like DUUUUUUUUDE CHIIIIILL. But the rest of me is super pumped to see April. First of all, today’s our anniversary! Wedding. 14 years. So insane. Secondly, I pick up kindergarten enrollment packs today and […]
March! What a teasin’ snoot. I have to remind myself every single year, BEV DO NOT GET EXCITED ABOUT THIS, YOU’RE ONLY FOOLING YOURSELF. Yet every year I get excited about this and fool myself. It’s a sickness. First off – spring is in 15 days. FIFTEEN DAYS. Should we interlock fingers, press our foreheads […]
Happy February! …five days in. And don’t look at me like that – this mixtape is the furthest from over-the-top sap. Matter of fact, it’s hardly about love or loving or lovers at all! (minus Gillian’s song My First Lover, which isn’t even romantic, but simply incredible and everyone must store this song somewhere in […]
Happy New Yeaaaaaaar! Let’s ease into this thing, ‘mkay? Last year I left you with music, and this year, I’m welcoming you back with music! It’s the only way. That and, I got lazy yesterday and didn’t want to edit a recipe. (WHERE ARE EMOJIS WHEN YOU NEED THEM.) How was your break? Too long? […]
