This photo is Rachel standing on a cliff walk in Ireland, 3 years ago. I wish I were still there.Yesterday, I got a haircut. The woman caught the comb on my cartilage loop-earring and pulled out the ball bearing. It was lost to the salon floor. I have yet to buy a new one.
The haircut, though desparately needed, is to be considered average.
Also, I'm getting a cold. I swear by Zicam products, but they really need to create something that doesn't taste like metal butt.
The clocks have changed and the weather has turned. And much like changing wardrobe accoutrements to withstand winter, my music has taken a turn for the wintry. Sigur Ros, The Stills, Travis (mostly 12 Memories), Keane, Blur, Massive Attack, and Interpol now dominate many of my playlists. But then there's the warm drag of fingers over acoustic strings and the minor chords of a cold piano. Enter: David Gray, Nick Drake, Josh Ritter, Damien Rice, Jeff Buckley.
To illustrate my point, here's the very talented, very bobble-headed David Gray, singing one of my favorites, "Shine." Enjoy.

i wish it were three years ago too!!!!
last night i was watching "Francesco's Italy from Top to Toe" on the travel channel, and even though it was a rerun that I had seen before I couldn't bring myself to turn the channel.
There was a part where a man was singing Italian opera and it brought me RIGHT back.
End of April needs to be here right now!
