So last week I went to a Regina Spektor concert. She is a very talented singer born in Russia who fits well into the indie female folksy genre that is so popular. She is similar to Ingrid Michaelson, Norah Jones, Aimee Mann, and Missy Higgins. In fact, in some ways I like her better because [...]

Favorite Movies of The Decade
November 4, 2009So I was watching At the Movies and they are doing a series of their “Top Ten Movies of the Decade”. This week they put their 10th and 9th selections. Ironically of the 4 movies already selected I have only viewed one of them- Million Dollar Baby. For various reasons I missed the other three. [...]
Roommate Reunion and Ingrid Michaelson
October 19, 2009I have mentioned on this blog that my current roommate is my 30th. Over the years I have shared apartments with 30 different women. They have each taught me much and almost all have been positive experiences. That said- some have risen to the top and become life-long friends while a few more have made [...]
Blissful Days of Nothingness
September 12, 2009“Take rest; a field that has rested gives a beautiful crop.” Ovid
Today is what Saturdays are made for- cleaning a messy home, organizing one’s life and resting from a long week. It honestly has felt like a month packed into a weeks time. As I have no doubt many of you are tired of hearing, [...]

August 29, 200905 Take Me Home Country Road
As I have mentioned many times on this blog that the last summer has been crazy for me. I have gone from having one job, to thinking I had no job, to having 4 jobs! In the next few weeks things should down as we have 3 of the vacation [...]
Comfort
August 6, 2009Tonight my mood while writing this post can be summed up in one word- comfort. Why is that you might ask? Well, there are a number of reasons. First, I am watching one of my all-time favorite movies, You’ve Got Mail. My regular readers will not be surprised by this- as it is the one [...]
Anna’s Present
July 16, 2009I know it is not good to brag about oneself, but let me just say I can be a great present giver. In fact, a few years ago my brother claimed I was a bad present giver and I made sure to give him the best present ever- nice strategy Ben! Maybe it is because [...]
An Inspirational Video- America’s Got Talent
July 15, 2009I know that shows like America’s Got Talent are built to tug at your heart strings, but in this case it worked. What a beautiful voice and a hidden talent. I have been on cruises before and the talent is a joke. To think they passed up on this star. It inspires me to keep [...]
Many Worlds in One
June 26, 2009The other day I saw a fascinating NOVA program on PBS. It is called Parallel Worlds, Parallel Lives and it focuses on Hugh Everett and his son Mark. On the surface the two seem completely different but they are actually linked in an interesting way. In the end, the life of the father explains the [...]
