Adieu Amy Adieu

I never expected to see R.I.P. Amy Winehouse all over the internet this past weekend. But I did. We all did. Now that I'm over my denial I can say that I am truly sad. Sad for the loss of this talent. Sad for the loss of this young woman . I feel like she had a lot to offer. Now there are these articles floating around say that she has joined the famous 27 Club. They say she has join the ranks of Janis Joplin, Jimi Hendrix, and Kurt Cobain. The comparison is saddening really. Is that fact that she died young going to overshadow her gift? Addictions notwithstanding she was an amazing talent and a voice like that is going to be missed.

Adieu Ms. Winehouse Adieu

I love Bo Burnham. I wanted to share this with you...

Did this affect you as much as it did me?

Adventures in Babysitting

Over the last few days I have been babysitting both my little brother and my little cousin. While at this point I'm not sure if I'd ever have a kid of my own I am sure that the imaginations of  little ones have no bounds and that makes me kind of jealous. Also kids tend to ask me things I have 1) Never thought of before or 2) have no idea how to explain to a 4 and 6 year old respectively. My favorite little gems include

1. Why does your kitty have paws?
2. Why do you have a mommy?
3. Where is your mommy? (me: at work) Why? (Me:to get money) Why is your mommy stealing money? (me: What?)

Needles to say I find them adorable in a weird sort of way. Now if you excuse me I have cookies to make and flowers to pick.
