About this list:

A survey of introspection; a nostalgic girl's list of the shades, shadows, and sparks that ebb and flow the images of the past into the present and then recede into the distance.

Description

This is a tee shirt with my *FAVORITE* quote from Jack Kerouac's On the Road on the back:

“…the only people for me are the mad ones, the ones who are mad to live, mad to talk, mad to be saved, desirous of everything at the same time, the ones who never yawn or say a commonplace thing, but burn, burn, burn like fabulous yellow roman candles…”

Coolest thing ever! :)

Fashion Nugget: Cake

2 people recommended this item

Description

When I saw Cake at the House of Blues in Orlando, John McCrea led us on a march to sack the neighboring town of Sanford. We did so, at his behest, with aplomb.

"We know of an ancient radiation
That haunts dismembered constellations
A faintly glimmering radio station...
While Frank Sinatra sings 'Stormy Weather'
The flies and spiders get along together
Cobwebs fall on an old skipping record...."

Señor Misterioso

First to recommend

Description

I'm not sure if you've heard... and you should probably keep this "on the down low," as the kids nowadays like to say... but I'm going to let you in on a little secret... let's just say Señor Misterioso may or may not be tied to every conspiracy known to mankind. Or not known to mankind. That's how deep into the mire he is. Or he isn't. He might be the Illuminati. Yes, the whole thing. Singlehandedly. Really, who could say?

He is so mysterious that sometimes he even lives in the console of my best friend's truck... inexplicably glowing in the shadows.

What I really want to know is... who tailors his amazing suits? His taste in three piece radioactive couture is impeccable.

Surfer Rosa: Pixies

First to recommend

Description

This album has a way of brightening my day whenever I hear it, especially when I think of the permagrin I had at the show they played at Hammerstein Ballroom, getting to see them for the first time on their reunion tour in 2004 after thinking for years that I'd never have the chance.

"With your feet in the air
And your head on the ground
Try this trick and spin it, yeah...
Your head will collapse
But there's nothing in it
And you'll ask yourself...
Where is my mind?"

Slinky

Description

What walks down stairs, alone or in pairs, and makes a slinkity sound?
A spring, a spring, a marvelous thing - everyone knows it’s Slinky…
It's Slinky, it's Slinky, for fun it's a wonderful toy...
It's Slinky, it's Slinky, it's fun for a girl and a boy....

Flood: They Might Be Giants

First to recommend

Description

I'm your only friend
I'm not your only friend
But I'm a little glowing friend
But really I'm not actually your friend
But I am

Blue canary in the outlet by the light switch
Who watches over you
Make a little birdhouse in your soul
Not to put too fine a point on it
Say I'm the only bee in your bonnet
Make a little birdhouse in your soul

I have a secret to tell
From my electrical well
It's a simple message and I'm leaving out the whistles and bells
So the room must listen to me
Filibuster vigilantly
My name is blue canary one note spelled l-i-t-e
My story's infinite
Like the Longines Symphonette, it doesn't rest

Blue canary in the outlet by the light switch
Who watches over you
Make a little birdhouse in your soul
Not to put too fine a point on it
Say I'm the only bee in your bonnet
Make a little birdhouse in your soul

I'm your only friend
I'm not your only friend
But I'm a little glowing friend
But really I'm not actually your friend
But I am

There's a picture opposite me
Of my primitive ancestry
Which stood on rocky shores and kept the beaches shipwreck free
Though I respect that a lot
I'd be fired if that were my job
After killing Jason off and countless screaming Argonauts
Bluebird of friendliness
Like guardian angels it's always near

Blue canary in the outlet by the light switch
Who watches over you
Make a little birdhouse in your soul
Not to put too fine a point on it
Say I'm the only bee in your bonnet
Make a little birdhouse in your soul

(And while you're at it
Keep the nightlight on inside the
Birdhouse in your soul)

Not to put too fine a point on it
Say I'm the only bee in your bonnet
Make a little birdhouse in your soul

Blue canary in the outlet by the light switch (and while you're at it)
Who watches over you (keep the nightlight on inside the)
Make a little birdhouse in your soul (birdhouse in your soul)

Not to put too fine a point on it
Say I'm the only bee in your bonnet
Make a little birdhouse in your soul

the forgotten bride 3

First to recommend

Description

When I was three, I made scrambled eggs on that couch. How it got in a diner and a bride who was ditched at the altar (three times? or were there three brides who were forgotten? or just three photos of the same forgotten bride who was forgotten once? I'm so confused...) wearing brown shoes ended up falling asleep on it, I'll never know. But that couch was awesome.

Reminds me of walking around Palm Beach in the middle of the night in the spring when these jasmine flowers are in bloom. It's the most amazing smell in the whole world.
