saved my life

tonight is ballet class and thank god because i need it. i wish i was good enough to dance out the painful stuff... the heart stuff... the life stuff... (and yes, yes, anyone can dance their feeeeelings, but not actually. because i believe in dance and i believe in dancing well, and worst of all i believe in ballet, and there is no doing ballet poorly, no sir, it will not do.)so i will watch this, instead. and then work harder in class.when i first saw this ballet, wrapped in my ikea duvet in my ikea room, all in white and wood, in a grey and cold edinburgh, i cried so hard i thought i might die....

in an epic case of 'hahahaha ooooops!' todd akin said the worst ever thing this week. and of course the internets. is. talkin. bout. it. (and republicans in general.)* this one is particularly good so i'm setting it on its own...i could post 18 bazillions more links, but i'll spare you all that underlined text.i didn't reeeeally want to talk about this. because it is insane and so rage-inducing and beyond comprehension that i'm all 'nooooooooooo!' about blorging on the subject. but. then again.people who refuse to call themselves feminists, even, are posting alllll about it in a mad fervor. this...

kathy

{me & kathy in 1990}no amount of words can explain what music means to me, and what being taught to listen and internalize has done for me far beyond my musical undertakings. i am so grateful for the gift of music that i was given so early in my life. i can't come up with anything to say that doesn't sound trite and cliched.so. just. thank you. kathy. for your kindness and generosity and patience and joy and for everything. my suzuki ear is truly the greatest gift i have ever been given. so much love and so much thanks and so much sadness. the world lost a truly special woman this we...

saved my life.

david rakoff.this week's 'this american life' is entirely him. in his memory.take a listen. it is a wonderful thing. he was a wonderful thing. he was canadian! it is so sad to have lost him. he talks about the facade. the ability to joke. to cover a deep melancholy and loneliness. wit. and so much more. he was an amazing storyteller. and he burns RENT. which. is exactly what everyone should do. haha! amazing!and his performance at this year's TAL live was my very favourite thing. i cried when i first saw it. and then cried again, harder, when it was replayed on the podcast. here it is. it is a...

atop again with VISUAL AIDS!

a ton of people looked at my hair-question post. which is so hooray forever! BUT! only 12 people actually voted. (or, actually less cause there were 12 votes counted, but some people voted for more than one look which is totes allowed.) what's the deal, yo? i really need your help! i am less-decided than ever!i got to thinking is that maybe people are having a hard time imagining what those hair colours would actually look like on ME rather than on the lovely lovelies that are pictured. so! funtimes sunday! i did an artistic representation of each hairs for you to consider! tadaaaa!!!!here's the...

she'll grow to love (the tender roses, lilies fair, the iris tall...)

i dreamed about shopping for planters and filling my balcony with a garden. so much green. (which is very on-point since i've been feeling shameful for not having done now that everyone i know is posting pictures of their tomatoes and zucchini on the internets...) so this feels like the right collection for this morning. (and i say 'this morning' knowing that it is after noon. because i let myself sleep in today. the kind of blurry hazy sleep in where you can't seem to crawl out of the blankets for hours and your one arm keeps going numb. fevered. so it is still morning to me. here with my coffee...

mercy me (the night is long)

*warning. this post is heavy and has swears. i wrote it late last night during a particularly angry bout of the night-time-sads. i thought about not posting it. but i try to give valid time and space to my night-time-sads even in the much calmer light of day. because they are very much a part of me and they are as real and as fleeting as anything else. so being honest with them is being honest with myself and you. but don't worry. i'm fine.*{photo by james nord} i am so lonely it is killing me.i hate that. because it is not that i can't be alone.i love being alone.i hate all those 'learn to spend...

forever damp

i wish it was actually possible to pull off that slicked back wet hair look. so fresh-out-the-pool. so unattainable in the real life. sighing. but since i can't have that hair, i will instead accept that luxurious long blue dress. {costume national resort 2013, photos courtesy of costume national by way of style.c...
