I lost my wallet (my favorite wallet that my husband gave me for Christmas) yesterday at 8pm. Thought I’d get the word out here, just in case someone googles my name.
I lost the wallet, I think, on or around 15th Ave on Capitol Hill. I had left it on the roof of the car and it wasn’t there when I got home. It could be anywhere between Capitol Hill and Wedgwood along 23rd. I know you found it because you tried to get a hold of me through Erin at PCNW, but you forgot to leave your call back number for her/me. Please keep trying! And thanks for being a good person and trying to get it back to me!

(Aidie at Victrola. May 3 2008.)
Victrola on Pike gets the best evening sun. Long lean shadows fill the lofty space, transforming it into a magical land that looks out on the city. And it far surpasses the trendy never find a seat Victrola on 15th. It’s gorgeous, the tones and textures, the tables… It’s become my favorite cafe in Seattle for these reasons.
Aidie and I met Courtney there this morning for a quick coffee and treat. AM time with Courtney was relaxed and peaceful.

(Fire - April 2008)
I stare at this when I work at school. Usually I’m all in my head, quietly studying or daydreaming about the future. But when I look up, this is what I see. Beautifully mundane.

Many Aiden’s. Playing with channels in photoshop last night in class. Fun!

(Home, April 28 2008)
Wrinkled curtains. I have this idea that I will take those down and iron them out sometime this week. More likely I will be fatigued from school, content in my delegation of duties, doing what I can when I can and organizing events of the week in order of importance. Curtains aren’t on the top of that list.
I have a focus to a journey. And while things are chaotic with young children and young families, I’m obsessed with risk taking lately. The fun kind.

(Jonathan Coulton)
Last night Blu and I joined the biggest bunch of nerds and geeks at The Triple Door downtown for a JoCo concert. Every adult geek stereotype was there. Truly, it was fantastic.
(Paul and Storm with Jonathan Coulton)
Paul and Storm (whom I’d perviously only heard through their Nugget song) opened, and immediately had Blu and I delivering belly clenching laughter. They were magical to see on stage. Part comedy troupe and part singer songwriters. Their expressions were half the show.
(Paul and Storm)
Half way through the show JoCo and Paul and Storm were playing together, and they pulled out this little known youtube star Molly (sweetafton23) to help with a song. I’d never seen her, but she was introduced as someone who covers JoCo songs on youtube and plays the ukulele. Anyone who knows me well can attest that the ukulele makes my knees weak. So she started with a leg up in my book. They played Tom Cruise together (a JoCo song), which was f-ing awesome. And then they left her to play one of her original songs, Road Trip.
The tone of the entire show was comedy. It was all about laughter. And then this little Molly comes out, stuns the crowd with her shy demeanor, cute expressions, and killer song. Jesus, I was crushing hard, as was every other geek around me. Seriously, check out her song about Myspace. Sums it up pretty damned well, I think.

The whole evening was magic and inspiring to get your art out there and get productive, just because there’s nothing better in life.

Pussy Willow at Preschool. It’s still Winter, and these are helping us get ready for Spring.
Gogol Bordello today. Gypsy Punk rocking out…a lazy fun Saturday.

I bought these glasses a while back with Kat and was attracted to the thick liquid look of the glass. This is one of my clover house plants. A delicate curly edged clover. Young green as opposed to the red tinged clover I have from Quinn.
On an aside, I had a good friend (a busy friend) call me today and tell me she wanted to be my village to raise the boys, and that she was sorry she hadn’t been for years. My heart felt light and grateful…and still does.
I just looked up to snow falling outside the window.

I keep all the songs you send me in a folder called You and I burn cd’s off of it for the car. That way I have you with me all the time.
