A NEW BLOG FROM RACHAEL!

Freezing today. It’s spring, but cold rain cold rain cold rain be here.

I kinda feel like a bear just starting to wake up. Not that I want to kill anything, more that I’m remembering what it’s like to get back into the swing of writing songs. This life o’ artistoid runs in cycles and I’m in the uncozy confines of emotional/brain toil trying to figure out what I feel and how to say it and what I see and how to speak it blah blah blah.

However, no complaints here. As I’m doing this, I give myself night breaks in the form of dvd series. Six Feet Under became an obsession and even though I was late to the ride I still can’t stop thinking about it. Yes, Sia’s song in the finale as well as the episode rocked my world. I’ve recently finished Project Runway season three and find myself equally inspired to get a sewing machine and apply for an internship at the local funeral home in town.

Went to see a Mary Gauthier show and was blown away. If you haven’t heard her music, check it out – it will inspire. Cayamo cruise seems like a lifetime ago (now that I’m freezing), but I became re-obsessed with Katie Herzig and her band as well as Brandi Carlile’s live show. I mean seriously ladies, you are raising the bar.

I’m fighting my agoraphobic nature (yeah right you say, but it’s true) by jaunting to the gym on a daily basis (about time, I know) and slowly I’m even starting to answer emails and check phone messages. I’ve started a tublrrr site thang that should be fun as soon as I figure out how to upload shite. Lord knows I’ve fallen behind with tweets, but there’s not much cell reception up here and does anyone really want to know how many deer I see in one day?

That’s the haps on this end.. Hope you all are doing well and loving life and living it up. Kisses.
