Sing Me a Good Night
Music has been an important part of my life. I’m not talking violin lessons or marching band, though. I’m talking good old rock & roll and pop music on the radio, and later on some indie and alternative stuff. It’s the stuff that’s the soundtrack to real life. It sets the tone and connects you [...]
Don’t Forget Our Yellow Bird
The thing I shouldn’t do alone in winter is listen to sad songs. But I can’t help it some times, when I accidentally start listening to one and get wrapped up in it. When I cook, I pop in a CD that I haven’t listened to in a while (or very intently ever) to refresh [...]
Mixed Media ~Summer~
Here is some of what I read, watched and listened to this summer: The Reader by Bernhard Schlink –a quick sensual read Julie & Julia by Julie Powell – absolutely adorable and a perfect mood boost Suite Francaise by Irene Nemirovsky – a lovely net of stories from WWII France Food, Inc. – pushed me [...]
Mixed Media ~ May ~
Book On my flight home from Phoenix I read The Sun Also Rises by Ernest Hemingway. (One of the classics I hunted down at the library). There’s something about these books from the Lost Generation that really appeals to me. I sometimes think that if I had a past life, it was as a young [...]
Mixed Media ~ March ~
What I’m watching, reading and listening to this month: Movies I think I’ve watched 6 movies in this past week alone. One of those ruts, I guess. All of them were quite good, and so I have decided to 1) Not bring up Paris Je T’aime again, though I think I loved it the most [...]
Andrew Bird at Slowdown
Last night, despite the local news’ “High” Winter Weather Threat level warning (It’s winter. Of course we’re going to have Winter Weather.), we ventured downtown to Slowdown to see Andrew Bird. First of all, what a great venue! Great bar, great setup, great people. We found a high top table on the 2nd floor during [...]
Mixed Media ~ Jan/Feb ~
Today I decided that every month or so, I should share the variety of books, music, movies, magazines, whatever that I’m into for the moment. And so I bring you my first ever Mixed Media post, featuring the media that’s making me swoon in these bitter winter months. Music I can’t take Andrew Bird’s latest [...]
Our Bruce Springsteen New Year’s Eve
Our “plan” for New Year’s Eve was to go to our favorite neighborhood pub… but had we truly “planned” our evening, we would have known in advance that it closed at 4 pm. After waiting 15 minutes for service at another favorite neighborhood restaurant, we raised our white flag and headed home to order pizza. [...]
i xo Hymie’s!
vintage vinyl from hymie’s, originally uploaded by lynnbeha. Before leaving [a really fun] holiday in Minneapolis, we took Dosh’s advice to hit up Hymie’s Vintage Records at 33rd & Lake. And we totally loaded up on some great old stuff. Check out what we’ve had a chance to enjoy (and some extra photos) after the [...]
