One Way Or Another

This morning, nothing could be better than Blondie.

You can still find all the early, fantastic Blondie records for a few bucks a pop. This is possibly the most that you will ever get for your money at a record store. In case you somehow missed (early) Blondie, let me set you straight: the first four records are awesome. Parallel Lines and Eat To The Beat are my faves. I went the fastest I have ever gone in a car while listening to Blondie. (120mph- I was driving- we took a picture.) I get all excited when I hear about this year's bands that supposedly combine the Girl Group sound with rock (a la The Dum Dum Girls and Best Coast), but I usually end up being let down by the hesitance of the female singer to really belt it out. Blondie, on the other hand, totally ROCK. Debbie Harry is an extremely weird, alien-obsessed woman, and maybe that is why. No one is genuinely Crazy these days, they are just full of washed-out ennui. Hmmph.

The Muse Party Continues What an amazing week... yesterday one of my customers sent me this drawing that she did in her sketchbook. You might recognize the hat! Her name is Jackie Sullivan and she is an incredible illustrator... luckily for us she has a blog and print shop where we can find her work. It seems that many artists out there are able to catch up on their work during the snowstorms that have been hitting most of the country for the past several weeks... Jackie did this on a snow day when she got to stay home from work. Imagine what else...

Good Problems To Have I realize that I am having a pretty interesting life when my biggest problem is that I can't afford the rental fee on a wolf head from the local costume shop. ($40? nards!) I actually got in a snit about this. Full-on Pity Party O'Clock. Then I had a dream last night about a community of people who were amputees, who told me frankly that every little thing they did was a tremendous effort. I didn't feel exactly guilty when I woke up, but it sure made me more level-headed. Then come to find out, Zazou was all too eager...
