There are things I want to say

But for now I’ll just say I’m watching Six Feet Under again and it makes me miss the quirks of life at a funeral home (in a good way).

And I listened to Buffalo Tom today because the leaves were blowing like a late fall day rather than a day in mid winter (and I loved every minute of it).

“ Among other things, you’ll find that you’re not the first person who was ever confused and frightened and even sickened by human behavior. You’re by no means alone on that score, you’ll be excited and stimulated to know. Many, many men have been just as troubled morally and spiritually as you are right now. Happily, some of them kept records of their troubles. You’ll learn from them- if you want to. Just as someday, if you have something to offer, someone will learn something from you. It’s a beautiful reciprocal arrangement. And it isn’t education. It’s history. It’s poetry.
J.D. Salinger, The Catcher in the Rye (via selfinspiration)

The year in review - 24 days in

Has been full, full, full of friends (old & newerish), nights out, some much then needed quiet nights in, books, and music (glorious music!), more music than I’ve listened to in a long time.  Both consuming and making music…and tea and running and local veggies (did you know the farmers market sets up at the Rec center on Thursdays from 3-6?).  I really hope these days are a sign of (more) great times to come because if this last month is any indicator of how this year is shaping up, the possibilities are endless and something to look forward to…

(Hopefully I haven’t just jinxed myself)

Thank you FYE for making replacing my albums (and some new ones) so affordable… Also, I bought a Pitbull cd.  Don’t judge me.
