Lately
Contrary to popular belief, the world has not opened up and swallowed me whole. Despite my silence in this space, I’ve been out and about, alive and kicking, moving and shaking, grabbing life by the horns (or whatever). I’m not so delusional to think that my absence from the internet has ruined anyone’s life. But…
Sundance
After six days at Sundance Film Festival in Park City, Utah, I’m back to normal life on Hooker Street in Denver – where the upstairs neighbors are loud, cars get stolen from right in front of the house, and Greebs got sprayed by a skunk on Monday. In some ways, I would very much like…
All of the things I have to say
All of you over-achieving, perfectionistic control freaks out there, raise your hand. I mean, I can’t be the only one, right? I have a really hard time when I can’t do something perfectly, which is unfortunate because I can do basically nothing perfectly. And lately, I’ve been doing a lot of things, which means that…
Confession
If you think I won’t be reading this, well. You just don’t know me very well at all, now, do you?
Not-so-guilty / non-pleasures
Not-so-guilty pleasure I’ve had my eye-rolling moments in the past, but I have to admit: Taylor Swift is getting better and better. On her latest record, “Speak Now,” her songwriting has exploded, without forsaking the catchy hooks she’s so known for. Judge if you want, but I can’t stop listening. The only thing that I…
Little trifles
In keeping with my track record of “don’t stay in one place for too long,” I’m flying to Nashville tonight for 10 days. Josh & Meg are getting married next weekend, so I’m going to work with my wonderful co-workers at headquarters until then. “Headquarters” sounds so official. I should mention that said “headquarters” houses…
Different
I’ve been doing some thinking. I’ve been crunching some numbers. To accomplish Tuesday’s boldly declared goal, I would have to walk 10.6 miles a day, every day, for the next 94 days. And seeing as how I have walked 0 miles since Monday, I’m thinking that 1,000 before Labor Day may have been a WEE…
Swifty
You can take the girl out of Nashville, but you can’t take the stage-side-at-the-Taylor-Swift-show-and-THIS-IS-SO-AWESOME out of the girl. Jenn and I had tickets for the uppermost balcony last night, literally behind the stage. But my most excellent friend Kelli (SHOUT OUT) back in Nashville pulled some strings, and all of a sudden, a man was…
Can’t read my, can’t read my
Before Sunday night, I didn’t know who Lady Gaga was. I know. I KNOW. I am the least cool person in the universe. You, reading my words right now? I’M NOT WORTHY. I had heard of her, but it was sort of like my knowledge of Google Wave. OH! I know that! What is it? …
