want

I would like to sleep in this:

they wouldn't be still

Saw the most fun show Sunday night:
Tilly and the Wall.
They were so smiley and happy and sounded amazing.
Tap dancers, maracas, balloons, and confetti.
I'll just call my pictures atmospheric because the band would not stop moving.



This all happened at the Drunken Unicorn in Atlanta, where there is no sign, but there is a painted velvet banner of a unicorn hanging at the bar.
I think it's perfect that the band played at a place with unicorns.

city love & treats

My new city is turning out to be fairly awesome. Such great authentic neighborhoods. Absolutely diverse. Energy everywhere. Over the weekend I got some nice little treats* while hanging out in one of the cool neighborhoods. Evidence:

Some sidewalk art

With my own personalized sidewalk artist message

And one tough bracelet

From this mesmerizing store

Plus a lovely ring from a street vendor (it spins!)

And so much incense...this is the disaster that caused

I love this town.

it's not just me

Everyone loves the Fierce One!


Christian Siriano, Mr. Fan Favorite!

watched

I watched Cache over the weekend. It was disturbing and a little confusing and not at all what I expected. I thought it was going to be a creepy stalker movie but it turned out to be this metaphorical statement about France and Algeria. Daniel Auteuil and Juliette Binoche were excellent. It was a very quietly tense movie. Literally, with the quiet - there was no music at all.

saturday

Today has been the most lovely, lazy day. It's the kind of day that is what I thought my life would be like when I was a kid. Except I was awakened by the sound of my dog throwing up (on my couch!). Only he wasn't really vomiting; it was just a dog hair phlegm ball. So after that got sorted out - The dog and I went out for a walk in my cute little neighborhood and we waved and chatted with folks. Back inside, doggy got his breakfast, I read two books while listening to this . Which is absolutley amazing.

I made a delicious lunch (scrambled eggs with cayenne and goat cheese - yum!) which I ate while playing with my Mac on my couch. Then the bullmastiff and I ran around in the backyard until I collapsed on the hammock where I fell asleep in the sunshine while the bullmastiff sniffed every single blade of grass in the yard.

Now we're hanging out in my apartment with the setting sunshine and the windows are open with a little smell of spring. There is nothing I have to do and no where I have to be.

32 days

So it's been 32 days since I've posted about Bright Eyes and I must remedy that.

Fixed. I was driving to work this morning listening to Blue Angels Air Show which is barely a wisp of a song. But these words are so simple yet convey so much:

There's a show we can see at the base outside of town
where the planes, they turn circles in the air.
I watch you stand next to me with your hand over your mouth
and join the crowds' heavy gasp.
One for each time they pass overhead.
So we've been selected in this beautiful lottery.


They remind me of William Carlos Williams. I know - I'm crazy.
