Looking for ways to expand your musical horizons? Here are some ideas…

• Mirah: folksy, a girl and her guitar
• Atmosphere: “frustration rap” from my home state
• Barcelona: Moog synthesizers and catchy pop lyrics about computers, soccer and girls
• All Girl Summer Fun Band: girls who sing about grass skirts and boyfriends, among other things

I am not an advocate of reminiscing. But sometimes, it is good. And bookmarks are good too. I like Franklin because he helps me reminisce in a good way.

I think I don’t often think about the past because I’ve convinced my brain that most of that information is unnecessary and should not be retained. I’ve often asked myself, “If you tell yourself something often enough, will you start to believe it?” I would say that it is true. I’ve been reinventing myself for years now… but I’m not sure I went the right direction. Time to stop and restart.

Some good things to think about:

• Sometimes a film doesn’t have a big enough budget to do more than one take of a shot.
• Not everyone is rooting for you, but there’s probably one person you haven’t thought about in a while who is.
• You have muscle memory.

I do have the cutest baby ever
