  • DJ Calvin Harris just dropped a new album that sounds like the perfect summer anthem. “Funk Wav Bounces Vol. 1” is indeed funky, wavy, and bouncy. I’m really hoping there will be a volume 2 (maybe 3, 4, 5…) to this short, 10-track collection. I first discovered Calvin Harris in 2012 when I heard “Feel…

  • “Dropped Again” is a new album that was released this spring by the indie-rock, psychedelic band Brick + Mortar. I happened to discover this band/album by stumbling upon a music video for “One Little Pill” on my Facebook feed. After sampling the album (and noticing it was on sale) I decided to give it a shot! A…

  • Little Shelter

    I have been working at Little Shelter for a few months now. Hopefully, I won’t be there for too much longer. It has been a fun experience but I am ready for something more challenging. Also… I’m moving back to PA! 🙂 We recently received a “shipment” of 30+ dogs from Texas. I have absolutely…

  • “The Love Witch” is a horror-comedy that was released just last year. The most captivating aspect about the movie is that it seems like it was filmed and released back in the 60s. As I began watching, I started to wonder if the film was supposed to take place in current times or from a few…

  • Anxiety

    I’m feeling really anxious now… about the past, the present, and the future. It is quite difficult to explain this feeling through words, but I’ll try my best. It feels like I am right on the edge of something terrible happening, but that terrible thing never actually happens. It’s like that feeling you get before…

  • Nobody wants to be attacked by others for their lifestyle choices

    I’m a “vegetarian.” I don’t like labels but that is the simplest way to explain that I don’t eat meat. The reason I don’t like labels is because they come with a lot of baggage and people make so many assumptions about who you are when you attach yourself to a specific label. We all…

  • Ed Sheeran just recently released his third new album, “Divide.” I bought his last album, “Multiply (X)” when it was released back in 2014. I am a big fan of Ed Sheeran’s music, including his duets such as “All About It” with Hoodie Allen and “Lay It All On Me” with Rudemental. His new album…

  • Another Venus update

    Venus is laying on my lap right now, purring. She is such a sweetheart. Moments like this, all I can think is, “I love you SO much… I don’t deserve you… you are TOO sweet!” And then there are other moments when she messes with my stuff, jumps on the kitchen table, drinks from the toilet,…

  • New job!

    I recently got hired at an animal shelter near home in NY! I’m very excited about working here. So far it has been really great. I was so relieved to get hired. Job hunts can take a long, long time and I am lucky that I landed one already. On the first day I was…

  • Venus in surgery

    Yesterday, Venus went to the vet to get spayed. She was dropped off at 8am. I was worried sick the whole day about the procedure. I was terrified that something might go wrong during surgery and there would be a health complication. And even if surgery went fine (which it did), I felt so sad for…
