and then there was music. and it was good.

well, i may not exactly be what you'd call tech-savvy (in fact, i spent the better part of an hour yelling at the screen and skov yesterday when google decided to split my account in two... surprisingly or not, it didn't help even a little bit). but i've worked out how to add a new somethin'-somethin' to you, dear blog. now you make noise. pretty noise. and i like it.


(if you, too, are a technological bubba amongst us, then scroll down to the bottom of the page to check out my new playlist function. it should start automatically when you visit.)

it's the kind of noise that makes me want to put on red lipstick and pout my lips and play the role of rearview mirror self-seductress. don't mind if i do.


last night, the beginning of goodbyes to the beautiful jodi, who is embarking on her own ballistically brave journey this week.




and if the music and the lipstick don't get you in the mood, then this just might...
is there anything better in this world than melted cheese? puh-lease. i think not.


and finally, as if that wasn't enough, this is gone...



and, with a second coat of moxa happily slapped on this afternoon, my tortured, pulled-apart, plastic-ed living room has almost returned to its former normality.


well, cat has bullied her way onto my lap, is purring incessantly and is begging for attention. i will happily comply. and with that, i bid you adieu.
