Saturday. Wisteria

Wisteria garden in Japan. I wish teleportation was possible.

Thursday. Lyrics

I love lyrics. I love sounds and beeps and all that (a lot), but when you have a song that has lyrics that resonate with you, sometimes surprisingly so, there's really something special about that.

I've revisited the Dark Was The Night soundtrack recently, and have re-fallen in love with Tightrope by Yeasayer. I like the album version better, but this stripped down version showcases the lyrics better. Also, there's nothing wrong with a banjo and a melodica. (there's a lot of blah blah blah so you can skip through that if you want).



Also, the National. Always the National. His voice. The lyrics.

Wednesday. Safety not guarenteed

Thursday. Sometimes I feel like an asshole

Sometimes when I watch videos like these and laugh till I cry, I kind of feel like an asshole. Then I realize they're really funny and they make me happy and I don't feel so bad.

Wednesday. Flowers

These pictures are so dreamy and otherworldly looking. It looks like you would become consumed by them. So beautiful. See the rest here.

Tuesday. Some space

I set up my sun porch last night, and it's great. I needed to make myself some space; a space away from the rest of my apartment if that makes sense. It was so nice to hang out and watch the rain.

Sunday. Jump

I love this. Everything will be okay. It'll be scary but it'll be okay. May even be fun.

Monday. Tricky Dick's softer side

"Every day and every night I want to see you and be with you. Yet I have no feeling of selfish ownership or jealousy."

"Let's go for a long ride Sunday; let's go to the mountains weekends; let's read books in front of fires; most of all, let's really grow together and find the happiness we know is ours."

Richard Nixon was a romantic. Who knew. I love love letters.

Sunday. A song

To me, this is a perfect Sunday afternoon song.

Friday. A looker

Woah. So good.

Thursday. Almost over

I've hated this week. Well, not the things I've shared, but overall, this week can suck it. I don't know if it's solar flares or what, but I will welcome Monday with open arms (what?!?!).

My sister from another mister sent this to me, and it's really wonderful. We are all the universe (and I sound like a hippy).

Tuesday. Talented friends

Speaking of the lake, here's a wonderful video my friend Ted made. It makes me smile a lot.

Go East from Ted Barker on Vimeo.

Tuesday. Lately

Cabins and friends are the best things ever. I feel really fortunate to live in a place where I can be out of the city and surrounded by trees and water (frozen or not) within a few hours.

Another best thing: wood etchings of Mitch Hedberg stand-up quotes. He was (and still is) one of my top five comedians.
