Just Dance!

It’s Wednesday, the middle of the week and it has just been crawling by. Work is keeping me busy, getting all the studio spaces ready for next year, placing orders and tying up any loose ends. But, I feel that I should be farther in the week than just Wednesday. I’m ready. I’m ready for my summer to begin. I’m ready for that sweet taste of freedom.

I came across this video while reading the news this morning before I left to catch the train. It made me smile. It makes you just want to DANCE! And as it is Wednesday and we are 1/2 way through the week, I think that calls for dancing. I dare you to try and sit still while watching this. I couldn’t, my feet were tapping, my head was bobbing, there might even have been a “jazz hands” moment or two, but I’ll just keep that one to myself.

Enjoy!

Radiohead, Film Editing & The Weekend

I am a Radiohead fan. I have an old concert t-shirt of theirs I stole from Mr. Michie many many moons ago, it is perfectly soft. He is an even bigger Radiohead fan and so he smiled sweetly and closed his eyes when I played this for him this chilly Saturday morning, found via The Fox is Black.

I have a film to finish editing this weekend that will go on display along with 14 other films in St. John Smith’s Square Music Hall this week. It is an abstract film that will accompany the symphony. It has been an interesting process for me as I have never made a piece of abstract film before. I will post the film and share more on that soon.

Oh, the weekend! Those two words: THE WEEKEND, hark so gloriously to my ears. This week has been insanely busy, with more than a few late nights. It is funny to think that the place you call home, the place you spend time creating as an oasis is sometimes the place you spend your least amount of time in. I have spent more time outside of my house than in it this week. Hmm, I think this work/life balance thing needs some reconsideration.

We plan to do a lot of walking this weekend, a little coffee drinking, a bit of shopping as I am working on putting together some surprise packages and a lot of delicious eating and being in each other’s company. Being with Mr. Michie makes me happy.

Stolen Time

Buy A Little House

I’m tired, but I’m not tired. Do you know what I mean? I feel like Frost, I have miles to go before I sleep. This week is getting the better of me. I have still found things to smile over and small blessings in my day, but, I am so ready for the weekend. I don’t feel that I have had one moment to truly catch my breath.

I think I have to give up on my dream of a snow day as the days are moving more and more into Spring. However, our nights have been very cold and there is usually frost on the ground in the morning. So, now I will dream of the weekend, because all I want to do is lay in bed with Mr. Michie, go for a long walk, get some coffee, make a loaf of bread, watch a good movie and just be.

I wanted a snow day, not only because I LOVE snow, but because it is stolen time, an unexpected gift to make all your own. So, this weekend amongst all the things that must be done, we are going to find some time to steal and make our own.

I love the picture above and it always makes me think of my favorite Feist song. In true Feist fashion the video is a bit wacky, but the lyrics speak volumes to me. Happy Wednesday!

Born Again

I came home tonight and as I headed upstairs I could hear someone playing their car stereo really really loudly outside.

I took a peak as I closed the curtains and saw it was a construction worker sitting in his van waiting on his mate. He was in his early 30’s, bald with some facial hair, and glasses. In fact, he looked a little like Walt from Breaking Bad.

His eyes were closed, his head was swaying, he was biting his lower lip, his right hand was raised in a small fist and he was beating the air. What was his listening to you ask? Was it a good 80’s rock ballad? Some heavy metal? Some old Rock’n’Roll? No, he was listening to the 1979 classic, I’m Born Again. He made me think of this guy. I’ll tell you, people never cease to surprise me. Never judge a book by its cover, for music speaks to your soul, not to your age.

Happy Friday!

Nothing More

Last night we started catching up with a few of our shows that we missed just before Christmas. One of them being NCIS. This song was used at the end of their Christmas episode and it just seemed fitting.

It is by a band called The Alternate Routes. And the song is simply titled “Nothing More”. For as the lyrics state: “We are how we treat each other and Nothing More”. For reasons of my own this week, this song just spoke to me.

Happy Wednesday!

Always Alright

We first saw/heard the Alabama Shakes on Jools Holland’s Hootenanny! A New Year’s tradition in our house, if we are at home, we watch it. I liked them. We watched The Silver Linings Playbook this weekend and they are featured on the soundtrack. Now, I can’t get the song out of my head. This is riding in your car with the windows rolled down kinda music, drinking a cold beer at a party kinda music, hanging out on your couch kinda music. It’s just good!

Happy Tuesday!

Jennifer Juniper

I think this might be my theme song and I didn’t know it. I had a colleague at my previous school who would sing this to me as she walked down the hall, past my room and onto hers and I have a colleague at my new school who serenades me with it as well.

I got serenaded this morning as I headed indoors and out of the cold. It just makes me smile.

Happy Monday!
