What are You Doing the Rest of Your Life - Michel Legrand

I can not believe how much I love this song.
It's perfect. Romantic. Sentimental, but not sappy. Mature, but unaffected. I cry every time.

XOXO,

me

how long will we live on in other people's memories...

peepers

My eye has been twitching for 5 months!  I feel like I'm going mad.  

I've been to my general practitioner, an optometrist, an allergist, a head and neck specialist, and a neurologist. I'm trying to be strong but this is a bummer. A drag. Exhausting. Depressing.

The worst part...no mascara! 

Honestly, my eyelashes are spectacular - and now they are all washed out :(

autumn in the air

My favourite time of year is here. Wistful thoughts, Indian Summer, fall TV season, pumpkin flavoured coffee drinks, Halloween - I'm ready!

I put a little autumn in your drink
and your skin caught chill
and you wanted me
near
and you wanted me
to kiss you and you
tasted of early peaches
and pears and your hair moved
in the wind like fallen leaves
and I loved you
under the covers
in the long, long night.

The year is winding down and I failed to do so many things personally - obviously lose 20 pounds, make a budget, reduce stress - get some bloody sleep! But, professionally I am feeling pretty amazing. Why can't I achieve at something without failing as well? It's irritating.

If you live near San Francisco go see Richard Diebenkorn: The Berkeley Years 1953-1966 at the De Young. It's amazing, haunting and peaceful. 

suuuuurprise!

I love my man - he searched exhaustively for this little slice of nostalgia for me. I'm not ashamed to admit this brought me not A LITTLE amount of joy (read:loads and loads and loads).

pop.

Today is Father's Day.
Me & my dad in 1975. 

I only had 4  1/2 years with him but I know he was madly loved by all and loved others deeply.

Plus, what a doll - he looked like Jemaine Clement ♥
