I really missed not having music last time and had no computer/mp3 or anything like it at the time I was preggy with LJ.

I"ve been saying all along that I'm a "child of the '70s," with my eclectic musical tastes, and this just proved it. Right now I"m listening to Poco, and just finished downloading all my Led Zeppelin, Crosby,...
Ten random things that make me smile: 1. The Killer Rabbit from Monty Python & the Holy Grail 2. The music of The Unicorns - especially this lyric: We are the Unicorns. We're more than just horses. 3. Putting on my favorite white blouse fresh out of the dryer 4. A full tank of petrol in my auto 5....
I was reading someone else's blog and I came across this beautiful find. Her voice is sweet and sultry and the band plays live instruments.... from Amazon... How would you expect a band to sound that formed in Guatemala and then evolved in Boston, New York, Amsterdam, Utrecht, Switzerland, and...
I just finished up a school year of serving as the night host at a science camp. This meant getting the campers (somewhere between 100 and 200 fifth or sixth graders) to bed at night and then getting them up in the morning, and of course taking care of any emergencies in between. What's the best way...

North London rapper Jermaine is bringing a brand new energy to the face of UK hip-hop. The 23-year-old based MC is a reformist artist who believes in “keeping it real” and demonstrates it through his music and lyrics. To Jermaine, Rap music has shamefully gone overtly commercial. He says artists...
I am writing because I have to. I need to. It's how I sometimes process things that feel too big: talking out loud, writing in a diary, here in a blog where the people you value might have some nugget of wisdom to clear the smoke. Right now I'm listening to one of my favourite songs: "Change" from...
As you probably remember, I turn 40 later this month. We haven't talked in over a year, and I certainly don't expect you to call. I don't expect a card. For that matter, I don't even know that I'd open a card from you or answer the telephone if I saw your name on the Caller ID. I'm that hurt. When...
