you're welcome.

i know i've been a bit absent lately.

let's chalk it up to the great, month-and-a-half-never-ending-funk that might just have ended last night at an apple-crisping/let's-welcome-fall party.

so, let me say, i'm sorry.

here, have this as recompense:



his name is joe pug. you're welcome.

these are my suggestions. what are yours?

this morning i fell in love with this.

i found it on courtney's gorgeous blog, ka . lei . do. scope

and it was just what i needed. 

lately, though, this has been getting me through the day:

i feel like there are just so many good female singer/songwriters out there right now. any one in particular that you love? you must tell me, i'm always in search of some new (to me) music!

yes, they do.

two days ago i thanked regina for this reminder,

i've got a perfect body, but sometimes i forget.

and then taza reminded me (as taza tends to do) that the in full, the quote is:

i've got a perfect body, but sometimes i forget, i've got a perfect body 'cause my eyelashes catch my sweat, yes they do.

of course, i thought. 

of course (my favorite response). 

these bodies of ours do amazing things each and every day. so...this is my charge to you:

why is your body perfect?

mine?

well.

because my feet get me from one end of the tunnel to the next. 

and about a million other reasons. but that's the one i'll give. 

so now you. 

i want to know. 

and then i want to make a list.

and then we'll have begun the revolution without even realizing it.

what are you waiting for--why are you still reading this?

go.

ps: according to glamour magazine,

animal prints are making a

comeback (when did they ever

go away?) and so i've decided

to wear my zebra shoes

all the time, since i think i'm finally

coming back to myself.

yes, i am.

uploading this video was an act of love

but i needed you all to understand that i fell in love with new york this weekend.

it happened on sunday. the weather turned and with it my eyes opened.

and i was walking through central park, past strawberry fields when a sweet, sweet sounds turned me around and pulled me straight into what is more often than not, just a hotbed of tourists.

tourists there were. but i nestled right in with 'em and held my camera way up high over my head and moved my lovely little behind in time to the music. bliss it was.

please bear in mind this was filmed with my camera and you're hearing it through a computer. this group was amazing. this video does not do them justice, but you'll get the idea.

i'm loving new york this week. the beatles will do that to me.

(ps: "I'll Get You" is one of my favorite beatles' tunes ever--the bridge just kills me! the other being, "I've Just Seen A Face")

but this video took 5 hours to upload--5 hours for two minutes! what's wrong with my computer?
