Christmas - a bit late

It's a bit odd to be talking about Christmas the day before New Year's Eve. But I am. Because that's how I roll. But after a pretty hectic and chaotic month, and a sort-of-busy Christmas Eve, our Christmas Day? Was... Continue reading

All of the lights

It's Christmas Eve and all I can think about is just how homey my living room feels. How the lights make it warm. And cozy. How I keep watching Rankin/Bass Christmas Movies because they remind me of childhood. And then... Continue reading

A Festival of Lights

So, on Monday I waxed poetic about the holiday season, and today? I'm going to do just a bit more gushing. Because it's the first night of Hanukkah, and in my living room right now is a Christmas tree and... Continue reading

I Was Raised by the Town

Tunes on Tuesday: Banks, Beggin' for Thread

So, the first time I heard this song, I swear I thought the radio personality said "Bacon for thread," which would be apt, because it's an alt song. But it made very little sense for it to be called that.... Continue reading

Tuesday Tunes: Phantogram's Voices

Back in September, I did a mini review of Phantogram's Song "Black Out Days." Which I was hooked on. Still am, if I'm being totally honest. Not long after (maybe a few days?) I did that recommendation, I bought Phantogram's... Continue reading

Thursday Brew: Blue Moon Rounder Belgian-Style Pale

When I see the word "pale" used in relation to a beer, I'm expecting the beer to be bitter. I mean, pale ales tend to be hoppy and bitter, right? So I wasn't really sure what to expect when I... Continue reading

A Week in Color

I feel like this week's been a bit on the colorful side. Not in activity, but in actual color. I mean, the leaves are barely starting to change, last weekend I got a not-so-neon green tee for running a road... Continue reading
