That was probably the sound of my brain exploding…

So last year one of my very favorite local musicians Tim Mahoney took a run at the new talent competition The Voice. I was stupidly excited for this. Though I only watched the relevant pieces of the show to see how he fared. And then Adam Levine chose a helium voice and big boobs over talent and I promptly stopped watching the show. And then this happened: Which was awesome. And he should be more… Keep reading…That was probably the sound of my brain exploding…

Slow fire burn…

Sara

You should probably watch this video. Because Matt Nathanson is just that good. Also…pretty. — I am perpetually brainstorming when it comes to writing. I have this…habit…when I’m alone to brainstorm out loud on whatever my current project is. I talk through aspects of the story like I’m explaining them to another person. Except it’s just me (and probably a few stuffed animals, if I’m being honest). It helps me work through troubled spots and… Keep reading…Slow fire burn…

A million years from now would be too soon…

Writing about writing should not be so bloody difficult. I’m pretty sure there’s some sort of poetic irony in the fact that I have writer’s block when it comes to writing about writing. All that just to say: I’ve been writing. It sounds strange to say that as I haven’t really been able to for quite some time. The gaping void I’ve been feeling has been filled with dozens of pages of text and I’m… Keep reading…A million years from now would be too soon…

And I didn’t even get flowers first…

Back in September I got a letter from Walgreens telling me that starting January 1, 2012 they would no longer be able to fill prescriptions under the Express Scripts/Federated Insurance plan. It was a very…diplomatic…way of saying, “We’re terribly sorry that we care so much more about your health than your insurance company does. But we needed to tell you the truth.” There was never a single notification from the insurance company about this change…. Keep reading…And I didn’t even get flowers first…

Banana Bread…

Sara

…of the lower fat variety no less. I’m not crazy about bananas. But they are one of only a handful of fruits I can eat without the inside of my mouth inflaming and itching like a son-of-a-mother and my lips getting puffy. (Fun times, believe you me.) So I eat them. Additionally, I’m really not crazy about bananas mixed with other things. Unless we’re talking a strawberry-banana smoothie—I’m all for those. But anything else mixed… Keep reading…Banana Bread…

Music and passion were always the fashion…

In Star Wars, my companion Blizz the Jawa speaks…Jawa. So unless you follow subtitles, you have no idea what the hell he is actually saying when he talks to you. Except one line. Which is Jawa-speak up until the end where he says, “Copacabana.” Apparently Blizz is a Fanilow. And then I get Copacabana drumming through my head and am forced to break out the track in iTunes and dance around my house singing to… Keep reading…Music and passion were always the fashion…
