about

i love music. so should you.

this is my (mostly) music blog. i wanted a space where i could wax poetically about all the bands and artists i love. (my heart and my cd collection is v. v. big.) you'll also find a smattering of writing related things, since that's what i'm doing these days, along with other pop culture miscellanea.

things you need to know: i live in chicago, but i used to live in new york city. i go to a lot of shows. i stopped being ashamed of my musical tastes a long time ago. the first time i heard "eleanor rigby" by the beatles, i was nine years old and i still get goosebumps when i hear those opening strings. i sing - trained in opera, musical theater, and everything in between.

i'm not very country, i'm mostly rock and roll.

“ For what it’s worth: it’s never too late or, in my case, too early to be whoever you want to be. There’s no time limit, stop whenever you want. You can change or stay the same, there are no rules to this thing. We can make the best or the worst of it. I hope you make the best of it. And I hope you see things that startle you. I hope you feel things you never felt before. I hope you meet people with a different point of view. I hope you live a life you’re proud of. If you find that you’re not, I hope you have the strength to start all over again.
— F. Scott Fitzgerald

today, i went to the museum of science + industry with two of my favorite ladies.  we were there for more than four hours and still didn’t get through everything.

there is an exhibit on the only german u-boat captured by the u.s. navy in world war two and on the way in were these awesome propaganda posters encouraging women to join the war effort.

9. the corner of e. chicago and n. michigan ave. had my first job interview today and i only got a tiny bit lost. i’m gonna count that as a win. after i was done, i walked up north michigan avenue for a while and browsed in the shops and dodged the tourists.

8. the chicago skyline, as seen from the north avenue bridge you might have heard i was moving.  well, i’m here.  i left new york city last thursday and have spent the last few days moving, unpacking, cleaning, building furniture (with help). getting to know my new neighborhood, and learning a new public transit system. this is a whole new start for me and i’m going to do my best to take advantage of it.  chicago is a beautiful town and  although new york city will always have my heart, i think there’s going to be room in there for chicago too. it helps that i have great friends here and have plans to see many, many shows before i start classes in september.
