Scarves

I've already taken on the bow tie in the world of accessories. My next venture is to take on the scarf. Once I live in NY I will definitely hit up the Hermes sample sale.

Phil Collins Retires

This is a sad day indeed. I wish I was old enough to have had the chance to see him perform.

The 60-year-old star says he feels it is "a good time to stop" making music, adding: "I don't think anyone's going to miss me."

He has hearing problems, a dislocated vertebra and nerve damage in his hands, all brought on by a lifetime spent hunched behind a drum kit.

The songwriter also claims that listeners have grown "sick" of him and that there is no longer a place for him in the current music scene.

God damn this is so heartbreaking. For such a musical superstar to feel that way. This man has made music that helped shape the way I grew up. For him to feel that he's no longer relevant is unbelievable disheartening.  I know he won't ever see this, but Phil, I will miss you and there is always room for you in my iPod. I think you said it best with "You'll be in my Heart."

The Black Keys - Tighten Up

My latest music obsession. This song has been on repeat all day. Such a simple and fun video too.

The Cat Returns (2002)

Most movies I've been watching lately are very serious dramas or documentaries. But when I'm sick I don't want to think that hard. Thus, what better time to bring out some Studio Ghibli happiness? This is my first film from them I've seen that wasn't directed by Hayao Miyazaki. I'm happy to say I wasn't disappointed.

Ryan Leslie

I'll give it to him, boy can rock the stage. Very glad I went to his show. Next thing he needs to work on is timeliness and bringing his supermodel girlfriend on stage.
