I'm not pregnant, nor do I expect to be any time soon, but this was too cute to pass up.



I know it's random! In other news, I've just discovered the music of Sister Rosetta Tharpe. Now, that's rock n roll!



You might recognize that shot from Amelie. Footage of Sister Rosetta is used in the tape Amelie makes for M. Dufayel (the Glass Man.)

don't go wasting your emotion

lay all your love on me! gosh, I love mamma mia. I am such a girl.

I can't imagine what it must feel like to be an old woman. Probably still flirtatious and young on the inside, maybe a litle envious of youth. At the same time, looking at those stupid twenty-somethings and thinking, "Thank God I'm not still there. How exhausting to believe that you're the coolest person in the universe,"



"CHERISH IT!"

safe sounds

Tonight, I have pinpointed some of the sounds that are most comforting to me. If anyone is reading this, I'd love to hear yours.

-The crackling fire of a wood stove

-Dishwasher (especially at night, it gives me a feeling of absolute peace. In our house, loading the dishwasher was the last thing done before bedtime.)

-Cicadas...plus frogs, crickets and the occasional owl. Night sounds from home.

-Very heavy rain, especially on a tin roof. Growing up--you guessed it, we had a tin roof.

-Loud, rolling thunder. Lots of big, bad thunderstorms year-round in southern Louisiana, where I'm from.

-Washing machine/ dryer.

-My dog's breathing as she sleeps.

-Ben snoring. <3

-Industrial fan, like the one we used at camp in the lodge.

-The sound of a rocking La-Z-Boy.

love is all

fall in love a little today. even if you already have somebody. even if you don't got nobody.

c'est vrai, c'est moi.

can't upload a user photo from the iPad, so here i am.



that's what i look like. in case you were wondering.

1977

They opened for Led Zeppelin during the '77 tour. No big deal. I think my Pops looks like Russell from Stillwater right here. (Commence chuckling.)
