Happy Friday, which is also National Almond Day (I like almonds – almond extract in place of vanilla extract in a cake or cookie recipe is amazing unless you’re feeding someone with an allergy), National Tartar Sauce Day (first Friday…
Friday 5: Don’t tip the boat over
Happy Friday, friends! It’s also National Ice Cream Cone Day, Car Free Day (I take public transit at every opportunity, but I also think the car free movement can be unrealistic) and American Business Woman’s Day. I’m observing that day…

TikTok made me do it: two songs and a cake
Yes, I have a TikTok account. My TikTok content is 85% based on who I follow and the content that I like (Disney, nerdery, happy dancing, humor) and 15% completely random content. For example, I’m currently watching the entirety of…
Spotify Wrapped 2022
Last year I started paying for Spotify again because I enjoy listening to its AI-generated playlists for me. I checked out my Spotify Wrapped summary for 2022 and it told me right off that bat that I listen to a…
What I’m Listening To: Cold Heart (PNAU Remix)
I’m usually not a huge fan of mashups, but this one with Elton John & Dua Lipa blows my mind. It’s part of “No Sacrifice” and part of “Rocketman.” The video is bizarre. Actually I’m pretty much into anything Dua…
What I’m listening to: Kellie’s Song
Kellie’s Song by Cas Haley has been on regular rotation on Radio Margaritaville since it was released earlier this year and it just makes me feel good. We aren’t sure how, but Murphy hurt his leg yesterday. He was hopping…
What I’m Listening To: BTS Butter – Hot Remix
I said this last year about Dynamite too, but I think this is going to be the song of the summer. This isn’t the original, but I think I like this dance version a bit better. And the video is…
What I’m Listening To: Unapologetic Fun
I rediscovered (aka reset) my Spotify password the other day and found this playlist which I loved so much that I forgot it existed. It’s nothing but boppy pop music. Shuffle for optimal fun. While I am not a music…
Listening to: DMB LIVE TRAX
DMB’s new stuff is good (although I do miss the violin) but there is something about the early playlists that bring me back to warm, hopeful summers. This is the YouTube playlist of the entire album, recorded at a concert…
What I’m Listening To: I need You by Jon Batiste
YouTube tries desperately to “get me” but I make it difficult. My YouTube haunts are basically: Jenna Marbles and Moriah Elizabeth videos, lofi playlists, and yoga. As a result it suggests moody music, cute animal videos, and basically anybody who…
What I’m Listening to: Dominick the Donkey
This was on Twitter the other day: And I was a little bit surprised, but not much, because WM says he never heard of the song (and hated it on first listen). As a highly-diluted Italianish-American, I’m happy to fix…
