i keep words on my tongue forever

I told you about The Mary Onettes back in 2006. Remember? Of course you do.
But in case you missed it, fear not!
This Swedish indie rock band are back with a new album that is wrist twirly and it’ll make you wanna tap your foot, while still feeling somewhat brooding. They draw influences from the JAMC, [...]

if we suddenly fall should i scream out, or keep very quiet and cling to my mouth as i’m crying

Kinda digging this tune.

i’m just pulling on a line, on a line…and sometimes it pulls on me

what do you think is the most used utensil?
i reckon the spoon.
i’m listening to the new great lake swimmers album. so pretty.
everything is moving so fast. i am unlimited.
reminds me of home. i’ve been trying to remember how i felt when i moved to england, wondering if the same emotions surfaced. i actually went [...]

this ain’t sea world, this is as real as it gets

a chemical reaction

Last week when I was filling out roommate surveys there was a page in the questionnaire that asked – what emoticon best represents your personality?
After I picked myself up from the floor from laughing at the question, I looked at my options. Believe it or not, there was a tophat and half grining emoticon, which [...]

come on over to my house, i’ll make you buckets of tea

So I have a lead on a sublet.
However, I think its too pricey, for a sublet…but it is furnished, and includes utilities, etc. They said they were looking for a quiet tenant, and I’m not too loud, but I’d hate to have to listen to music with headphones all the time, as there is baby [...]

living off a teacup full of cherries

I went to the eye doctor today, and learned I am closer to my dream of becoming Mr. Peanut getting a monocle. Soon, but not yet. Blast.
I love when they shine the lights in your eyes, flip the lens about and ask, “better or worse?” And by love I mean hate.
Then when then announce what [...]

pale to redness

Tis snowing.
However, its mild out. Rain-like. Sky is grey.
I wish I could go for a walk. Stick out my tongue and catch snowflakes.
Except I’m still hobbling, and crutches and ice do not mix. Lesson I learned last night.
Instead I will play Faking My Harlequin by Robert Pollard, on repeat, as its hooked in my head. [...]

4, 3, 2, 1

It was lovely to wake up this morning afternoon and see that the swelling has gone down in my legs (although the bruising has spread) and then to trot to the interweb and find that the new K-OS album Yes! has surfaced online as well as Andrew Bird’s Useless Creatures.
You can find new K-OS tracks [...]

high winds and sand

A line from a Canadian documentary we watched in film school, that was said with such monotone disdain its etched in my memory, and completely reflects the weather at the moment. Serious wind storm going on, the power has been on and off and trees are falling down left and right.
So I plan to spend [...]
