On the one hand, David Hernandez is the first person of Hispanic origin to make the finals since Vanessa Olivarez in 2003. (Coincidentally, Vanessa was the first to be eliminated from the finals in her season, even though she was clearly better than some contestants.) In addition, he was one of the...
Our beautiful wedding photos are finally here! We hope that everyone enjoyed our special day. Although our wedding was "in the works" for about a year, the real planning began when we finally selected the right locations - about 3 months before the wedding date! We are very happy to be enjoying our...
Sunday Janie and I will be heading up to DC to see Regina Spektor give a free concert. She is taking part in the 60th anniversary of Isreal celebration on the mall. I just started listening to her, and I really enjoy her music, so I'm glad my friend Mike let me know about the free concert. Mike, his...

So, last night, my 6:55 PM plane was delayed until 7:40 PM. Which would have been fine, if 1) the Love Field airport hadn't been 80 fucking degrees with 99% humidity and 2) I hadn't been stuck at the gate with 3 incredibly snotty groups of St. Louis county high schoolers--and their...

Well, today was an early day...get most of the kids off to school, then go with little one and hubby to Ash Wednesday service (7 am). Then the rest of the day and then another service at 7pm for big girl to serve at. Oh, yeah, I thought I wasn't going to have to serve, but then, BINGO, you guessed...
Yesterday I found a song for me. My anthem, if you will. Today, a song came on that I didn't really want to listen to at first. I think it's a great song but it brings up bad memories so sometimes I tune it out, or turn it off. But today I did neither. The song I am talking about is John Waite's "(I...

My week in review: Started out cold and icy...ended up rainy and mildly warm and with a thunderstorm. Somewhere in between it was crazy windy and matched my mood (it's been a long rough week!). Gav continued perfecting his crawling skills- managed to unplug the t.v. and attempted to eat the cord....
One of my nearest and dearest friends is currently in grad school over on the East Coast (a far cry from our native San Francisco), and I miss him dearly. The other night during one of my sleepless nights, I was watching a block of music videos on VH1 when I saw this one: Immediately I called him,...
When I find a new artist I like, I usually jump in with both feet and listen to them quite a lot. This leads to burn out of course, but it's sort of a test. If I really like that particular artist I will come back time and time again, (see intense Ani Difranco phases, also Katie Sawicki) But these...
In order to complete my goal of posting daily before midnight, I'm going to cheat a little here and throw up a few photos from the weekend. I've had 3-4 hours of sleep for the last three nights and anyone that knows me knows that's not enough. Oh no, it is not enough. Yesterday we went to Chicago to...
Is it bad to hate a song because you hear it and think, "I bet they'll use this to sell cotton underwear"? And soccer moms will love it the way they love Norah Jones? Anyhow, I think it's an Old Navy commercial, not Jockey or Fruit of the Loom or Cotton.
Priscilla Ahn has been playing guitar since she was 14 and grew up in Pennsylvania. She considered studying music in college, but a professor advised her to pursue a career in music instead. And so she did. Her friends brought her to a recording studio where she met Amos Lee while he was recording...
