Who's seen the latest SF Weekly? 

It's got the grimm reaper wearing stunna shades on the cover.

I should be doing my homework but I felt compelled to read this article on the Death of Hyphy by Eric K. Arnold.  I'm at this coffee house (Sacred Grounds) and this SF Weekly issue (Grimm) was staring at me, waiting for me to open it. 

Whoever listens to the radio - especially commercial radio - should read this article.  Here it is online.

Last weekend I watched as my son sang along to an episode of Yo Gabba Gabba.  It was the cutest thing in the world.  The song goes "Think happy thoughts, happy thoughts / That's what you gotta do / Think happy thoughts, happy thoughts / And a smile will come back to you".  

It's like, that's what I need to do, dammit!  And my son is singing this!  I got obsessed last night looking for this episode on On Demand and online.  I finally found out which episode it is when I Googled the lyrics and the name of the show and found this blog entry at MommaBlogga.com.  It's Yo Gabba Gabba: Sleep!

I gotta see the TV schedule to see when it's playing next.  But it's comforting to know which episode it is.

Last night my sister let me listen to a song called "I'm Happy" by Ivor Cutler.  It's like the best ever.  Here is the video on Fabulist.

These things make me feel better.  Thanks.

Hi!  This is my official intro to this new blog.  I've had this domain for at least 2 years now but I had no idea what to do with it.  I've been wanting to do something worthwhile for the greater good of the world, but as of yet, there is not much I think I can offer.  So for now, this blog is going to be personal, selfish, and all about the wonder of me. 

Why should you read this?  Um...I don't know.  If you're interested in seeing how I do as a 30-something single mother college student living with my parents and having to commute an hour each way every day with no steady income, stay fed.  People have told me that they don't know how I do it.  I guess that's supposed to be a compliment but that compliment tends to put me to tears because I don't know how I do it either!  Stay tuned to see if I make it.

Since this is public, I'm going to try to stay as positive as I can.  This is a personal exercise for me.  I hope to connect to those in similar situations as well. 

Enjoy!  And don't get too depressed.
