1. There's listening to music at home, in the car, and through headphones. But, the best place for me to listen to my favorite tunes is at the Victory St. space. It's like the autobahn for music. You can give your vinyl a chance to stretch it's legs and show you what it's got. It can be turnt way up. I feel certain kinds of music don't get a fair shake because people just listen to it through computer speakers. SMH
Really good speakers make all of the difference. No, shh, listen. Really good speakers make all of the difference.
Currently, my favorite record is The Juan Maclean's You Are My Destiny. I've listened to it a hunnert times now, but Saturday night was like I heard it for the first time. So tight.
It was made to compliment and accompany his good-time groove Happy House:
I have it on good authority that there will be a third tune to round out these two songs this summer. Djeah!
@fear_ants next one coming out this summer!— juan maclean (@juanmaclean) May 5, 2013
2. Classic VW Beetles. I daydream about driving one of these all of the time. I still play slug bug, don't y'all?
3. We've finally installed the shibori curtains I made.
I'm currently looking for holdbacks. My inspiration:

4. We're doing some minimal gardening this year, keeping it simple with some of our favorites. Right now, it's looking grim for the okra because they are total crybabies and aren't dealing with these cold snaps very well. Please pray for their speedy recovery. This will be a record killing of a plant by my hand if they don't make it.
5. There are some songs I don't mind being stuck in my head for days:
6. #VB6 , or to regular folk "Eat Vegan Before 6:00". ATM & I are giving it a go. It's Day 2. So far, it's been easy as far as the actual eating goes. We are no strangers to vegan and vegetarian foods. The challenge is planning the menu. If you want to incorporate more plant based foods into your diet, you've gotta search high and low for quality recipes that are healthy and keep you in the game. You can't Boca burger and Daiya "cheese" your way through this. My breakfasts are usually vegan anyway with my oatmeals, smoothies, and peanut butter toast, so lunch and snacks are what need to be planned for. Culinary challenge accepted. My favorite chili recipe of all time is vegan, incidentally. KMHD & I discovered a topping to keep it kosher by adding onion/jalapeno pickle, cilantro, and avocado. It is LEAGUES better than sour cream and cheese, and since there is rice vinegar in the pickle, it busts up taste fatigue. It's so good. Trust.
Pay no mind to our hideous kitchen. We've been in talks about getting some actual work done in there soonish. Don't tell anyone how we live.
7. Cooking classes at eggshells kitchen co. with Blair:
8. Drawing closer to our trip to CO. This one is for the soul, which is in need of some mending and a bit of healing.
