Rush For Cover March 15, 2024

A painting of a dog wearing star-shaped sunglasses. The dog and the background are various shades of orange, with blue highlights. The words 'Rush for Cover' are superimposed overtop.

I’ve had to sit on this for about 3 years as all the logistics were worked out, and I’m super stoked to be able to tell you that I am a part of this Rush Tribute Album that will be released on April 26th! There is currently a pre-sale and auction ongoing. You can find all the details HERE!

I cover Subdivisions on this. When I... (more)

What's In My Toolbox Part 1 My Productivity Tools February 14, 2024

Each year my household chooses a theme which becomes a sort of mantra for the year. We choose something that fits with our goals and we build around it. We don’t always achieve our goals, but the theme always enhances our lives in some way. Last year the theme was Barbaric Productivity. We focused on getting stuff done. I didn’t get all the things done that I wanted, but I ended up discovering some productivity tools that I am finding very helpful. I thought it would be fun to share. Two I pay for and opted for their annual plan,... (more)

Last year I wanted to post a weekly solo acoustic video of all my unrecorded songs. My idea is that when people hear me live, there are often songs they like, but there’s no way to hear them again without seeing me live. My plan for this last year was to simply do one each week. Like my clothing goal, that wasn’t a good enough plan.

The second fly in the ointment was that as soon as I posted the first video, someone pointed out the vocals weren’t clear enough. Fair point. So I then spent a bunch of time... (more)

Just what's in my closet anyway? February 03, 2024

Yesterday I wrote a post about how I’m going to achieve my goal of wearing everything in my closet, and I mentioned that as part of my plan to achieve that goal I’ve taken inventory of what resides there. This has given my some insight into my own personal style that I thought would be fun to share.

The clothes in my closet fall into a handful of categories. LBDs, Crocket & Tubbs, metal T-shirts, Rocker Barbie, Kyla actually wanted to be a dancer.

We’ll start with the Little Black Dresses. Unless I missed something in the laundry, I have... (more)
