Dear Ali,
Bad news: I tried on those disco ball shoes at Nordstrom. They come in a 5 1/2. It was too small for me. Immediately I thought of you.

P.S. I have dreams about that bread pudding in St. Martins crypt. Even though it was 100 degrees in there.
Loved to ready this! How fun... you and I share a dream job: always wanted to be the producer of the movie soundtrack- how fun it would be...!
This was fun to read! I love all your words that you like the sound!
delurking to come out and say that i've always dreamed of being the person who chooses the right song for the right moment in a movie. that would be such an awesome job! love that you wrote that.
great site, thanks for sharing your many loves. i forget how i found your site, but i'm glad i did. ;)

Cover band singer...I love that idea!
you've lived in such a variety of places!
So one of my dreams is to have the perfect song for the perfect moment to really happen in my life--where I'm driving down a desert road and bam!...the perfect song or having a festive gathering and bam!...again the perfect song. So if your dream job comes true maybe you could someone facilitate my dream life come true :)
