Traveled down a road and back again.

Last night we were delighted to attend Golden Girls - The Laughs Continue at the Hanna Theatre. I think this is going to be my Big Drag Season.

Okay, so the thing is, my back. I am hoping this resolves itself, it often does. It was on the right, yesterday it was on the left -- and shooting into my thigh. No I'm not okay with this.

First Saturday on my own in what feels like a very long time, and I am looking forward to it. I have a list of beautiful things to accomplish, including not only housework but revision, illustration and cooking. This is actually the first Saturday since the boy returned that I know I have a car available all day, though I may not even use it.

Summer is over, so why not zombies?

Are you following Song Exploder? You should. I am not a musician, but you know I love music. And regardless of my particular skill set, I love learning about how artists collaborate and how the sausage gets made.

Hosted by Hrishikesh Hirway (who also co-hosts The West Wing Weekly, which also totally makes the podcast world go round) each episode of Song Exploder is made up of interviews with artists about a single song, breaking it down into its production components, and culminating with the entire song so you can rediscover the piece knowing better how it was created.

Also, twenty one pilots was really good on SNL last night.

This week features Phantogram's monster single You Don't Get Me High Anymore which is my favorite song of right now. Just taking in the sample from Hook & Sling by Eddie Bo blew my little mind. Check it out.
