…on her magical ukelele! This is the first single.
The album will be out on July 20, but give this track a listen. I really, really like it.

warm night
It has been said before: I am not a fan of these warm summer nights. Oh, sure, it is nowhere near as warm as where my younger sister resides voluntarily—the AridZone, where her city is at 99° at this hour—but here, in northern California, when I take an evening shower and do not feel the need to dry off with a towel afterward, it is too freaking warm. The thermostat reads 83°. Eighty-three...

the final three
Yeah, I didn’t keep very well with this, obviously. Today would be 31 if you are counting…
Day 28 - A moment you remember being completely happy in and a description of why you believe you were. What is your definition of happiness Did you really expect a straight-forward answer for my own definition of happiness? Heh. Earlier today I was walking down the street with the sun shining down and the...

Day Twenty-seven
Day 27 - Your definition of the meaning of life This is probably going to throw me into yet another fit of existentialism, isn’t it? I wish I had something clever to type here but uhhhhhh… I don’t.

Day Twenty-five
Day 25 - Something you would do if no one stopped you or if you knew you wouldn’t fail If I found myself in that position I would probably just die figuring out what the hell I am trying to do… But the second thing to come to mind is flying a jet. To where? I will figure that out when I get the jet, I guess!

Days Twenty-three & Twenty-four
Wow, I am really bad at keeping up with this!
Day 23 - Most awkward first impression you feel you’ve ever given January of 2007 I had a sinus infection. I was put on antibiotics for it, and then I got a call asking me to come in for a job interview. I said it was a bad time because of the antibiotics—I was feeling really ill from them and would not make the best impression—but somehow this girl...

Day Nineteen
Day 19 - A passage from a book that has touched you “Here you go on this long long dream. Don’t even try to wake up. Just let it go on until it is over. You will learn many things. Just relax and observe because there is pain and that’s it mostly and you aren’t going to be able to escape no matter what. Eventually it will all be over anyway. Good luck.” — Francesca Lia Block (but...

Days Seventeen & Eighteen
Day 17 - What you want to remembered for Heck if I know! My tombstone will probably say something like, “She baked decent cupcakes,” or maybe even just “She was crazy.” I would love to be remembered for something meaningful, but for what I have no idea.

pictory: the one who got away →
“Think about the people missing from your life, and how you feel about them. What we remember — and what we forget — may reveal more about ourselves than about them. We have photos, letters, souvenirs, and fragments of memory, but our powerful imagination takes over from there: We color in the blanks. And that’s OK. Retouching old loves is a way of understanding what we want. It helps us find our...

Day Fifteen
Day 15 - A moment, phrase, or song that has changed your life the most This is a long one, so…
Do you know when they say soul-mates? Everybody uses it in personal ads. “Soul-mate wanted.” It doesn’t mean too much now. But soul-mates—think about it. When your soul—whatever that is anyway—something so alive when you make music or love and so mysteriously hidden most of the rest of the time, so...

Days Thirteen & Fourteen
Day 13 - A memory that never fails to make you laugh Oh gad—I laugh at the most random, stupidest things ever, and at the most inopportune moments at that. I can probably name a bunch of things that have to do with my little sister, because we cause so much trouble together. She and I spend hours giggling at nonsense, like that one time I took her to see Napoleon Dynamite in theater, and the movie...
