I've been desperately trying to be more focused at work but since I haven't posted in a month, and I've learned about all kinds of fun stuff recently, I'm going to squeak in a quickie.
First, I'm not that big into watching silly youtube videos but I am happy to have learned about the Chloe Sevigny spoof videos by Drew Droege. Since I'm not a big celebrity stalker, I never noticed how strangely Chloe Sevigny speaks, or just how boring she is when she goes on about fashion. Droege does a brilliant job making me laugh at her expense, just with the way he says "toast." Many thanks to my friend Eric Smith for the introduction.
AND
After a lot of coaxing from people I love, I finally downloaded the Alabama Shakes album. They are responsible for my song of the week, "Heartbreaker."
The whole album is pretty solid and I sense it'll be in heavy rotation at the Commune this summer.
Speaking of my house, this Saturday's house party will mark the sixth consecutive celebration at our place. Four of the last five have been outdoors so, fingers crossed, this rain will stop again for the weekend.
Something magical is happening on our street, largely due to some super fun new Robeson St. residents gelling with the groundwork my next door neighbor and have been laying for a couple years. It's like we built it and they're finally all coming. We may have finally achieved the perfect congruence of bros, hippies, musicians, master grillers, mixologists and cornhole champions. I love it. It means I don't have to leave my house to have an awesome time. Sweet party in Somerville, you say? That's nice but I think I'll stay here and drink a fresh caipirinha in my hammock, after eating a bangin' burger and dancing my pants off.

Sounds like the perfect summer! Love ya girl.
