We're All Golden Sunflowers Inside

Dear Scantily Clad Gay Dancer at the Bar Tonight,

Thank you for telling me I was the first beautiful person you saw tonight.  It’s been far too long since I’ve heard such words and felt like they might possibly be true. 

Much Love and Tacos,

-Annie


Nothing like walking in your apartment door to see your computer chair in the middle of the room, cats running every which way, and hear “Janglin’” by Edward Sharpe and the Magnetic Zeros blasting from iTunes.

Methinks the cats were up to some sort of hijinks in my absence this morning.

Dent May - “You Can’t Force a Dance Party”

Native Mississippian Dent May wields a wicked ukelele, and has a new album, Do Things, coming out next week. Until then, though, I’ll be playing his 2009 debut album, The Good Feeling Music of Dent May and his Magnificent Ukelele, on repeat. The album is a perfect mix of whimsy, throw-back, and uke. Which is to say it’s perfect music for a Friday morning.


Child's 'Ain't No Homos Gonna Make It To Heaven' Church Performance Goes Viral →

I don’t know if I’m more upset about the message behind this child’s song, or the fact that this poor kid has already been coached at such a young age to hate something he can’t possibly understand.  G-d forbid this boy identifies as gay or queer in some way when he’s older; something tells me it may not end well.  :(


The next time I get overly depressed I still live in Salt Lake City, I vow to take a walk in my neighborhood or downtown again.  Between the numerous adorable quail, competing religious pamphleteers, the snobs & the wannabe snobs all shopping at City Creek, and charming Avenues architecture, I was highly entertained and gladdened.  Salt Lake may not be where I want to live when I finally decide to grow up, but it definitely has its perks no matter how hard I want to deny it.
