This girl is amazing. Her new album, Plethora, is like a sensual, nervous kiss on the lips. The tracks come and go and rise and fall like humid air into thirsty lungs. When she gets big, don’t say I didn’t tell you so.

Sunday List of Indulgent Antioxidants
I worked at the Italian deli all day yesterday before going to the Cal Poly winter jazz concert with my friends Kellyn and Alex, and their respective sibling and friend. The jazz was amazing! I kept catching myself with my mouth hanging open at the sheer talent of these musicians. They absolutely blew me away. [...]

Rioting Perfumes & Salami
My favorite quote from the movie I’m Not There:
“It’s wrong to say ‘I think.’ One should say, ‘I am thought.’
‘I’ is someone else. I am present at the birth of my thought.
I watch and I listen. I draw a stoke of the bow, the symphony stirs in the depths or comes with a leap to the [...]

Comparing Boy to Muffin
Today my friend Alex and I were making breakfast together, talking about the concept of “he/she’s just not that into you.” I asked her if she wanted to split a chocolate raspberry muffin with me because they’re so dense I can’t eat one to myself. She happily conceded.
Continuing our conversation I announced that, in [...]

Road To Redemption
At first glance, T.I’s new show Road To Redemption seems like a glorified attempt at reducing his sentence after being arrested by federal agents last year on weapons charges. He faces 30 years and has been on house arrest for the past year, aside from completing 1000 hours of community service. So it’s fair to [...]

Hairika’s Hairiation
These photos are in chronological order in an attempt to point-out my incessant, but pathetically minuscule variations of hair color and hair cuts (even as a wittle babyy)
As you can tell from the last picture, I’m extremely frustrated with the way my hair is right now
I’m getting it colored next week, I cant [...]

Mary Oliver
August
When the blackberries hang
swollen in the woods, in the brambles
nobody owns, I spend
all day among the high
branches, reaching
my ripped arms, thinking
of nothing, cramming
the black honey of summer
into my mouth; all day my body
accepts what it is. In the dark
creeks that run by there is
this thick paw of my life darting among
the black bells, the leaves; [...]

Bottle Shock.
I just finished the movie Bottle Shock… and also a bottle of wine. Allow me to explain myself!
I started the movie before I had a bottle of wine, but I loved the movie because it made me miss home and it made me absolutely CRAVE a glass of wine and a nice meal pairing. Luckily [...]

25
1. My first love led me to my second, true love: A high school romance broke my heart and I found John Mayer. Now the high school romance pales pathetically in comparison to my love of John Mayer’s guitar.
2. I wear Prada perfume, and often make the mistake of spraying it too close to my [...]

Memoirs of My Grandfather
This is the last part of my Grandpa’s small memoir that he recorded before he died. Reading the whole thing, I can’t say I knew him very well… but he and my Granny made a huge impression on me when I was young that I still think about very often, even today. More on my [...]
