Hi!

Sometimes I don't know if I should be typing on this or writing in my oh so pretty journal that is sitting to the right of me on my desk. I've written in it a lot the past few nights and I probably will end this night doing the same. The paper smell is too irresistible.

So? Stuff.

Miranda July is coming out with a new film, yay! From what I've read there is already plenty of bad commentary, which probably means I will gush over it even harder! She is magical. I've yet to find an artist such as her that can make every waking moment of life beautiful even it when it's not. BUT IT IS. Does that make sense? She encompasses all of the awkward reality and transforms it into pure beauty. I love her brain.

I LOVE BRAINZ.

I'm insanely sore from hot yoga yesterday, such a lovely sore though. My muscles are thanking me for working them so vigorously.

What else?

This song, One More Mouth, by Josh Ritter, is phenomenal:

Sing along with it!!

Honey how you gonna make it on your own?
Honey how you gonna make it on your own?
When you wake up in the night
And see the stars just city lights
And you can't find home?

You act like you don't need nobody else
And you dance like you don't need nobody else
And all the other moths need light
To circle round while you just fly
Around yourself

Oh I stir my sugar with a spoon
And watch your white dress float around the room
I try to see what you're about
But even my candles are down and out

Honey why you gotta hide your face from me?
Honey why you gotta hide your face from me?
Will I starve in this eclipse while you treat every hungry kiss
Like one more mouth to feed?


(This is a super cheesy video made by a fan).

This song has served as a huge inspiration for me.

Speaking of which, I've been doing a lot of writing lately. I go through stages. If you read my previous entries, you can see that very thing. One of my dear friends who used to keep up with my writings pretty often asked why I didn't get into lyric writing. Well, guess what?! Now I am! I've transformed a few things. It's fun.

I always wonder if writing is a good or bad thing for me though. Even though, deep down, I always know the answer. Writing puts things into perspective for me, it can make real what I want to (unconsciously) avoid. Why should anyone ever want to avoid anything?! Let's just progress and learn from it all, eh?! Easier said than done, I know. But you have to try.

I miss a couple of people. Maybe I miss the illusions. I don't know.

I'm delighted to say that Niki Metzger and I have a new project coming out!! I'm not giving away any details except you'll know more on Monday. :) It's nice distracting myself with what I really want to be doing; being creatively productive. Certain people have inspired me. :)

I wanted to tell you something else. Don't hold back. Go for what you want.
