Monday Morning Music
Happy Monday, everyone! I was emailing with a friend recently who’s struggling with some life stuff. She brought up a point another friend made that life is not a sprint, in most cases, it’s a marathon. So, that got today’s song stuck in my head. As I mentioned back in November last year, Jethro Tull […]

Monday Morning Music
Sorry for the delay this morning. It was a busy weekend with company visiting and then today… well, it’s been Monday. Ah well. So, today’s video. I’ve been listening to some version of “Route 66″ since, well… forever. I don’t remember not knowing it. However, I hadn’t heard this version by Depeche Mode until listening […]

Monday Morning Music – Johnny Winter RIP
I had planned to post at least one Weird Al Yankovic video this morning in honor of his new album coming out last week. All the videos I’ve seen have been outstanding and super funny. Also, as @davisac1 tweeted last week: Seriously, rewriting Blurred Lines should win @alyankovic a public service award.— Amanda C. Davis […]

I’ve been a fan of Skepchick for a while now. They post a lot of interesting, useful stuff. Aggravating stuff, too, but that’s all part of the mix, ain’t it? They also post fun stuff. Like this video. Want a ridiculously hooky, body-positive number that’ll get you dancing? Here’s Meghan Trainor singing “All About That […]

Monday Afternoon Music
A little late with my Monday video today. Sorry about that. I’m using the fact I’m still recovering from an awesome, busy vacation as my excuse. Spent last week visiting friends in Maryland and Philadelphia. So good to see some of the people I love best in all the world. One of those visits involved […]

Monday Morning Music
I was playing a music game on my personal Facebook page last week. You know the one, where someone posts a music video and if you like it they give you a letter. Then you pick an artist/band starting with that letter and post your own video. And on & on. I ended up posting […]

George Gershwin’s “Rhapsody in Blue” used to be one of my favorite songs to play on the piano when I was still playing. Even with my little hands, it was a lot of fun. (Mr. Gershwin had ginormous hands and would write 13-note-wide chords, the bastard) Here’s Liquid Tension Experiment having their own fun with […]

Words In Progress
It’s been a couple of frustrating writing months since I last posted an update on such things. Going through a patch where writing is more of a struggle than a joy right now. Which I know happens, but it’s still frustrating. For example, that story about sentient plant life w/an older woman protagonist I was […]
