blight

blight: infect, destroy

You know what clears a blighted head and heavy heart? A damn good concert and lesbians! Alicia, her new girl, and I went to Tegan and Sara at the knitting factory last night. It was nothing short of magical. I adore Tegan and Sara in a way that nothing can crush or diminish. Seeing them play live was soul renewing. I'm a little horse this morning because I shouted all the words to all the songs. But it's a small price to pay. What good fun. And the band that opened (Speak) were pretty darn decent. All I did was dance, dance, and dance again. There was a shit ton of dancing. So much dancing. Good gawd, I do love dancing. Horrible at it, but I love it. Much like golf and most things in my life.

on my mind...

I've been actively trying not to fall in love, but I think it's slapped me in the face, again. I hate my heart.

snowball

snowball: (verb) to increase, accumulate, expand, or multiply at a rapidly accelerating rate

Umm. This post started out as a small idea.  Three, four pictures tops. But instead, it has snowballed out of control. Not just a small snowball gently tumbling down the hill; this is a frinkin' avalanche and it will engulf you in your entirety. Prepare for it!

Before I scare you away, I should tell you the reason behind this post-- according to the Library of Congress March is national women's history month. In celebration, I knew I wanted to post something pertinent. But what? Well, in full disclosure I have these growing crushes on women musicians, so I decided to post a tribute of sorts to all the women musicians I respect and adore to pieces.  As I alluded to earlier, I thought this number would be relatively small. Again, three maybe four as most. Oh, no. I was ghastly mistaken. Apparently, I have a thing for girls with guitars and microphones. Go figure.













love, love, love, extra love!

If I could make babies with anyone, despite their biological sex, it would be this woman





I take no credit for this GIF, thanks for whoever made it!


that smile kills me, my heart just melts

okay, okay, I cannot express to you enough how much I love these Canadian twins.  They are hilarious, and adorable, and like to banter in concert, and I highly suggest you stalk them on youtube. Seriously, people! Also, if you have a sister, you will totally understand.
