iPod Shuffle
“Canary In a Coalmine” – The Police. God, I was so obsessed with them in high school. I love this song, and I remember it seemed like the height of sophistication and intelligence that I understood the metaphor of the … Continue reading →

6-State Shuffle
5-plus hour drive yesterday as I drove through New Hampshire, Vermont, Massachusetts, Connecticut, New York, and New Jersey. It was a New England kind of day, where you can pass through multiple states in one day. I am freckled and … Continue reading →

Beach Drive iPod Shuffle
I’ve been back and forth to the beach 5 times in the last 5 days. It’s been hot, humid, and I yearn for the ocean. Because of my writing gig, I can’t hit the road until around 2, which often … Continue reading →

Day-Long iPod Shuffle
I was a housewife all weekend. I’ve been so busy during the week that my entire household was a disaster. I played music all weekend as I 409’d my head off and did laundry and cooked. The shuffle has been … Continue reading →

A Week-Long Shuffle
In the last week, I’ve done a lot of driving and also a lot of waiting. I’ve been reading a lot, and finishing up my script (LA, here I come!), but with the amount of driving, I’ve been reliant on … Continue reading →

Mickey Rourke on Bruce Springsteen: “He did me such an honor, such a favor.”
