"A little bit of this. A little bit of that. A pot, a pan, a broom, a hat. . ."—Anatevka, "Fiddler on the Roof." This is a blog about everything and nothing. A little parenting, a little humor, some poetry, news, essays, a lot of music. I don't want to waste your time, just send positive vibes into the blogosphere. Oh, yeah, my name is Sarah Torribio. Enough about me, how are you?

Song of the Day: "Ohio" by Wild Pink ft. Samia
My song of the day is "Ohio" by Wild Pink ft. Samia. It's pretty indie rock, part orchestral and part ambient. It's a modern sound, but occasionally a synth riff walks down a lane tread by New Wave bands--say OMD.
According to Wikipedia, Wild Pink is an indie rock band from the boroughs of Brooklyn and Queens in New York City. As someone who's lived on the West Coast and now in the Southwest, I have no idea what a borough is. It sounds kind of dope, though.

Song of the Day: 'Jumping Someone Else's Train" by The Cure
>>last song
I need this energy. Two matchless and eternally recognizable guitar riffs within the first 26 seconds. Then-drummer Lol Tolhurst labors mightily to achieve steam engine precision. And then there's Robert Smith's working class British accent, satisfying as an evening pint. As far as his mood, it's hard to quantify.
Is the frontman for The Cure sad? Resolved? Raging? Scornful? Or just narrating our collective angst.
I only just now feel confident enough to admit this. When I was in high school I thought I'd like to have a goth-style clothing store called "The Fashion Cure" with the word cure written in The Cure's swirly trademark font. For some reason, I pictured the store being two levels, with a slide gong from the second floor to the first.
