Really Most Sincerely

There’s a lot of stuff I share on the Internet every day. Here’s a weekly round up of the things I most enjoyed last week by category. 

Inspiration

• Are you datable? Confession time: I think about dating.  A month or two ago I started an Evernote that was very reminiscent of this list. I knew I wasn’t ready then, but I had started to piece together things that would be great in a future guy and what my true deal breakers are. Nearly all of my list are things I wouldn’t have dreamed of caring about 15 years ago. 
• I never want to visit the Gynotician. 
• Dating behaviors I’m done with.  This one made me LOL: “If you like someone, don’t send them mixed signals. Send them flare signals. Write that shit in the sky via airplane. Life’s too short to be coy, and while you figure out whether you’re into me, I’m going out. I got new jeans and they need to be seen.” I’m still laughing at ‘flare signals’. 

Nifty

• Matt Nathanson between songs. He’s a funny and charming dude with great, great stories. For instance, beginning around 2:25: “I’m going to make sex with him until he likes women.”
• Gary England in the New York Times.
• Live Photoshop at a bus stop. 
• Offline dating in Park Slope. “I’ve lived in Brooklyn for  years. I try to date girls in Manhattan all the time. It’s such a pain in the ass.”
• Newport Folk Festival in gifs. The Jim James one is perfection.

Songs 

• Winter Solstice – Cold Specks Lordy… her voice. Lordy… her words.
• Recovering the Sattelites by Counting Crows Have been listening whole album to this all week, non-stop in the car. It is one of my all-time favorite albums. Every time I pick it up from an absence I’m shocked at how much it still hits me right in the feelers. Another Horsedreamer’s Blues would easily fall into my personal Top 100 Songs List. Bonus: as I was searching for an appropriate link to post, I discovered that there is a documentary of the making of this album.
