Before I was a Coyote, before I was Kooky, before I even knew what a Lindsey Buckingham was, I found the Beach Boys. In grade 5, we were told to pick either the Beatles or the Beach Boys and do a project on their history and songs. (I don’t know why those were the only …

If I wrote a screenplay of my life, late December, 2000 would be the "All is Lost"* point. The lowest point for the protagonist, the point where it cannot get any worse but you also can't figure out how it could ever get better for them. I flew to Toronto from Virginia on Christmas Day, …

And here we are, another world away from that last post in April. There have been many times I've intended to write, wanted to write. But the hope I spoke of in April hasn't made it this far, and it's hard to write about the things I've done when in my heart, it just feels …

Man, we're a whole world away from my last post, aren't we? I've been trying hard to come up with words for this, as I suddenly work my regular job full time from my little spare room, surrounded by photos and souvenirs of 20+ years spent Coyote-ing across North America. Sometimes, those wonderful memories are …
It's been exactly one week since the news hit. Lindsey Buckingham. On tour. Spring 2020. What?!?!?!?!?! I was at work, fangirling uncontrollably, being the worst possible mentor to my new employee. Yes, boss lady squees and dances and smiles so wide her face hurts when news of a tour drops. I'm super professional! But seriously. …
Long time no blog! Long time no much of anything, really. This has been a stressful year so far. Right after my last blog, I embarked on 3 solid months of working 2 jobs. One was supposed to be a part time side gig, but quickly turned into near-full time hours, and the only days …
Record show day dawned cold and rainy and grey. This was my first day off since March 3rd, thanks to newly working 2 jobs, and I had no intention of getting out early. I decided to rep all 3 of my music fandoms, Lindsey for strength and my Eagles VIP merch bag from 2014, which …

Out of my brand new Supernatural fandom last year, I found a perfect term for a thing that I have carried with me through 7 moves (I counted), over 700 kilometres, for 16 years: a cursed object. According to the Supernatural wiki, cursed objects are "objects imbued with black magic, that cause bad luck and …
That line, from the Eagles' "Fast Company", has been echoing in my mind a lot lately. I've had a weird health issue/injury for awhile now (nothing dire, just uncomfortable) and the inactivity caused by that, in addition to the freezing cold weather and feet of snow, has contributed to a lovely depression these last few …

Thanks, Glenn. Thanks for not judging this star-struck, down-on-my-luck fangirl when I unexpectedly got to walk into a daydream and meet you that day in 2006. Thanks for laughing at the "real men wear pink" bumper sticker my friend M and I bought on the off chance one of us got to meet you somewhere …
