All About Me: Gravity – Sara Bareilles Cover
Posted on January 6, 2014 in All about me, Art & Culture
‘All About Me’ will be a new weekly (or semi-weekly, monthly, or whenever-the-heck-I-want-ly) segment on #Upandcoming #Quarterlifer where I emerge from the depths of the blog-o-sphere and come to you live! Well, as live as anything on the internet can be. I might do a vlog, a funny dance, tell a joke, do a drunk-kitchen segment or anything my (or your?) little heart desires.
This week, I have a song for you all!
This little number has been a go-to shower-singing classic for me for a while now…
Enjoy!
Got something you wanna see or hear me do? I’ll take requests, within reason of course! Leave me a comment!
#Blogtops Challenge: Routine
Posted on December 17, 2013 in #Blogtops, Art & Culture, Reviews
A’ight y’all.
I think you can all sympathize with my plight of last minute work projects before people go into hiding during the holidays. That is why this blog post is over a week late!
This post deals with the ever-exciting topic: routine!
Now this is probably where you’d expect some riveting description of how to get ready in the morning or some uber-helpful organizational tips.
Well, I’ve never been one to do the expected!

#Blogtops Challenge: Confessions of a Country Music Convert
Posted on December 4, 2013 in #Blogtops, Art & Culture
Do you guys remember those survey forwards that we used to get in middle school and send around to each other? You know? The one’s you’d get on your AOL account that went something like..
Name:
Grade:
Favorite Food:
Favorite Backstreet Boy:
Favorite type of music:
If you were anything like me your answer to the last question probably read something like: ANYTHING BUT COUNTRYYYYY! BLECH PUKE! With exception being that your answer was probably written in Comic Sans.
I don’t know what it is, but for some reason a grew up with an all-out HATRED toward country music. Even just the first few notes of a banjo or harmonica was enough to send me running for the hills and reaching for the radio knob.
WELL NO LONGER!
For this week’s #blogtop theme: TUNES, I’m coming out…
I now like country music!

#Theoroi Reflections: My First Date with Dave Holland Prism, Liquor, and Jazz
Posted on October 4, 2013 in Art & Culture, Millennial Musings, Reviews
As I mentioned in my last blog post, last weekend’s Saturday was spent at the Dakota Jazz Club listening to Dave Holland Prism with Theoroi, the young-professionals group of the Schubert Club. It was the first of our ten scheduled arts outings this season.
Being the first time at my Dakota, my first time “out-on-the-town,” and my first time seeing a jazz concert in general, I was understandably a little nervous. I was so nervous I did the thing that chicks do when they’re getting ready for a date: got ready like two hours early and then proceeded to sit around so I could be fashionably late.

#BlogTops Challenge: Chinoiserie
Posted on September 30, 2013 in #Blogtops, Art & Culture, Millennial Musings
Last night I had the pleasure of my first official outing with Theoroi, the young professionals group of the Schubert Club. I plan on delving deeper into our visit to the Dakota Jazz Club in an upcoming blog post. However, since the next 20-One Word #BlogTops for 20-Somethings topic is COCKTAIL, I thought I would take this opportunity to talk a bit about a new one I tried last night.
