Song of the Day: Just One Look by Doris Troy

Musical Pipe Dream: I would love to sing this one while playing the piano. A low positioned microphone so I could concentrate on the keys. My head would lower when I played the high notes and my fingers would delicately stroke the keys like tapping a lily pad without making it sink. My head would rise and tilt back when belting out the strong points. One can dream.

Daily Doodle: Red Right Hand

Song of the Day: Red Right Hand by Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds

Musical Pipe Dream: Whenever I hear this song, I think of a scene. It’s a strip club similar to the one in the movie Beetlejuice that appeared in the model town that Adam built, but only after Beetlejuice started living there. There is a scantly clad demon girl dancing around slowly around a pole and tiny horns are pointing out of her forehead. Nearby is a band of demon men wearing pink tuxedos with high waisted cummerbunds and ruffly white shirts. The trim and bow ties are black. The lead singer holds no instruments and sways to the beat with his elbows tucked in. He has a thin mustache with a goatee and horns. The bar is tended by someone who looks like they have been bored for an eternity.

Blurb 1/365: I have realized if things have to be forced, then they probably shouldn’t go that way. Living against the grain is no longer an option. There is no longer any need for me to whittle myself to fit in. There are niches out there shaped just like me and when I find them and settle into each of them, it’ll feel like a happy hug.

Musical Pipe Dream: My mom used to sing this on the Karaoke (Ka-ra-oh-kay) machine, so I remember lounging on the couch while she sang like a bird. It would be awesome if I could jam on the piano and she sing under a spotlight. Maybe we’ll work on that :O)

Blurb 1/365:

The two things that I love most about Chipotle (other than the food):

1) Their iced tea. What is it? Lipton? I can’t get enough of it.

2) Their napkins. They are a perfect size with the folds in the right places and a great addition to our dinner table which is the coffee table in front of the TV.
