Laughter is good for the soul.

I have watched this about ten times. It's that funny. Note: Drew reminds me of the way I am at improv. I can NEVER stop laughing long enough to make the scene last. Every time we did improvisational acting in my college acting classes I always got in trouble for breaking character. Oh, theatre. Enjoy.

Got a sweet tooth?

Have you heard Sugar Crisis? If not, I highly recommend you click here and satisfy your musical craving with some melodic bonbons.

Here's what critics are saying about Scottish-based Sugar Crisis:

If you’re looking for catchy, fun pop tunes that are easy to dance to and make you smile then Sugar Crisis are waiting for you. The Glasgow-based electro pop duo’s shimmering keyboards and catchy melodies are simply infectious live as guitar Lorna bops merrily up and down, spreading enthusiasm throughout the crowd. The simple and repetitive nature of some of the tunes makes them perfect entertainment for a night out as twee keyboard tunes are embedded in your head in less than 30 seconds, ‘Stuck In Traffic’ for example sculpts a fabulous and fun pop song out of a traffic jam and while the chant of, “We’re stuck in traffic, why are we not moving?” could become as irritating as the delay itself, it’s tempered by swirling synth work and bright beats.

The band’s forthcoming single, ‘We Are Here To Save You’ goes down well live with its lilting vocal melody and crisp pop beats that explode into a euphoric and chirpy chorus. ‘Taking Names and Heartbeats’ is a delightful, sweet indie pop song that slows the frantic pace down a little but sports a beautiful chorus that glistens with glossy electro style.

The duo manage to feel the stage with their irrepressible energy and bright tunes and it would be impossible not to end up with a smile on your face after such a fun filled performance.

One of my favorite indie groups! Check them out! You'll be in a good mood all day with these catchy poppy tunes in your head!

Springtime with Mr. Darcy...

In the words of Lydia Bennett, "Lord, how droll that sounds." However, I would be more than happy to spend spring, summer, fall, or winter (or any combination of those) with Mr. Darcy. (Particularly as played by Colin Firth in the 1995 BBC miniseries.) I found this today on youtube, and it made me cry, gave me chills, and I think it's beautifully done. I'm a little sad that they cut out the great guitar solo toward the end, but well done, all together. Beautiful song and beautiful film. Enjoy!

Mull of Kintyre

I posted this once on my Beatles blog, but love it so much that I decided to post it on this blog. This is one of my top ten favorite songs of all time, and that's saying a lot, because I really love music. I heard this song first performed by Celtic Thunder, one of my favorite groups, and when I found out Paul McCartney wrote it, I thought to myself...not surprising at all that Paul would have written this beautiful song. It's also a fitting post, as this blog is primarily a travel blog. Enjoy it. I know you will love it, and will play it again.

Apologies...

Apologies to my blog readers. I have had a terrible case of the flu, and have been out of commission for some time. I will post something new as soon as I can. I hope everyone is having a delighful March, and anticipating spring weather as much as I am. Take care of yourselves!

Skunk, 2009

There are places I remember all my life
Though some have changed
Some forever not for better
Some have gone, and some remain

All these places had their moments
With lovers and friends I still can recall
Some are dead and some are living
In my life, I've loved them all.

~Lennon and McCartney

We will miss you, Skunk.

John Lennon & Me



"Just like John Lennon, I should enjoy every moment of time I have left on this planet...however long that is."
