Little Holiday Letters

Dear Eggnog,

I always thought you were gross but guess what? Adding brandy makes all the difference.  Thanks for being delicious.

your new friend,
Ashleigh

Dear Giant Christmas Tree,

Even though part of me gets a little sad that a big tree like you was chopped down, I think you are super pretty and fantastic. Keep up the good work.

in gratitude, 

Ashleigh

Dear New York Holiday Tourists,

I just....you just....with the walking in a huge line across the sidewalk and the stopping for pictures and the.......vhghjlhdsetdfkyi;ilhjffertffaadsgj

Just remember, even though you are just visiting, LOTS of people LIVE in New York City.  And they're all sorry they're mad at you but, seriously guys?  Some of us have appointments to get to and it takes time to walk around you and your 16 elderly relatives. Just.... exercise some common sense and decency and we'll do the same, agreed?

Sincerely,

Ashleigh

Today I laughed Until I Cried.

At a video of an MIT professor drawing lines on a chalkboard.  My GOD do I wish I was kidding.  Alas, I am not.  It appears I have cabin fever and it is going to my head.  My bedroom in Brooklyn lacks a window, which usually wouldn't be a problem but when you spend the majority of your time at home, the walls start to close in and everything begins to get very...intense.  Sounds become louder, lights become brighter, and silliness becomes even sillier.  Normally I would combat this with some good ol' fashioned walking around, but it is pouring outside so my options are limited.  Until the rains let up I'm confined to the house, looking at pictures from my walk a few days ago and dreamin' of clear skies.

Seriously though, how crazy is this view? This is two blocks from my apartment. Magical.

More Reasons Why...

...I've been away from the bliggity blog lately.  I've been in the recording studio!  It is nothing fancy, me and the guys I write with have been using a local high school's recording booth to lay down some sweet beats.  I'll keep you posted when these audio gems are available.  For now, here are some pictures from our first foray into the world of recording.  I had a huge smile on my face the entire time, I just couldn't help it.  It was beyond fun.

These boys are the most fun.  I feel grateful that I get to spend so much silly, ridiculous time with them.  More updates next week when we return to the studio.
