Insomnia: WARNING: Music Geekiness Ahead
http://quaintancesmith.blogspot.com/2009/03/warning-music-geekiness-ahead.html
Tuesday, April 7, 2009. WARNING: Music Geekiness Ahead. Have been singing "Night And Day" - not just singing it, but really trying to figure it out. So I've been listening to it far more carefully that I normally would. It's unusual for a song of that era. It's longer, for one. Instead of the typical four 8-bar sections, if is divided into 6 sections of 8 bars - with an ABABCB structure (instead of the more typical AABA). While I am rather proud of that, I will admit that as I type this, I am sipping a b...

Insomnia: Farewell
http://quaintancesmith.blogspot.com/2009/06/farewell.html
Friday, June 26, 2009. Yesterday was shocking - both Farrah Fawcett AND Michael Jackson? Death makes us look back. So here's something from 1985. I'd write more, but MomVee. Already did it, and better than I could. Exit stage left, moon walking. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). View my complete profile. Chef Daniel Angerer's Blog. Over the weekend, strolling through a health food store in a locale new to me, I came across a strange-looking fruit. There were large chunks of it with bi. Who is to blame?

Insomnia: Nouveau Cabaret
http://quaintancesmith.blogspot.com/2009/06/nouveau-cabaret.html
Wednesday, June 17, 2009. The Last Cigarette (me, SK and the fabulous FM) will perform again at Veloce Club on Thursday, July 9th. Sorry folks, it's already sold out. But why Deep Purple's "Smoke On The Water", you ask? Simple. FT, who owns Veloce Club, has requested it. Mostly I think for the sheer hilarity of watching us try to sing it. Now try to imagine a breathy sex kitten version of it. OR, to compound the ridiculousness, a cappella? I know. Who WOULDN'T want to see that? June 28, 2009 at 7:00 AM.

Insomnia: Press
http://quaintancesmith.blogspot.com/2009/06/press.html
Tuesday, June 2, 2009. Our first "press" mention - in Makeup Loves Me. Obviously, I think she is brilliant and insightful. If you haven't bought a Luxe Now gift card. For someone in NYC (such as ME, for example), hurry up and do so. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). View my complete profile. Chef Daniel Angerer's Blog.

Insomnia: Mental Masturbation
http://quaintancesmith.blogspot.com/2009/04/mental-masturbation.html
Wednesday, April 29, 2009. Earlier this year I was obsessed with opening lines of a novel. And since obsession, like misery, loves company, I dragged others into the abyss with the following email chain:. Subject: Favorite Opening Lines Of A Novel. Because this topic has been on my mind lately, I brought up the. Subject at every meeting I had today. Who knew that salon owners were. This is what I got:.

Insomnia: Scent Obsession
http://quaintancesmith.blogspot.com/2009/04/scent-obsession.html
Wednesday, April 8, 2009. A few days ago, MM, who works with perfume, sent me an ad for a newish fragrance (released Autumn 2008) that she thought was "conceptually and olfactorily right up (my) alley.". MM has a great nose - she can identify most perfumes instantly (and understands both their composition and dry-down), she has great taste, and she is an insightful and generous reader of personality. But, obsessions change. Especially perfume obsessions, especially according to the weather. Over the week...

Insomnia: Occasional Ray of Perversity
http://quaintancesmith.blogspot.com/2009/04/occasional-ray-of-perversity.html
Tuesday, April 14, 2009. Occasional Ray of Perversity. Ergo and I were discussing our blogs this morning - a topic that we revisit on a fairly regular basis: do our blogs reveal the kind of people we are? Since we know each other both on and offline, we seemed to be the best people to answer this question for each other. Me: "Your REAL quirkiness comes out a bit, here and there.". I suppose the big takeaway is that I see Ergo as quirky, and she sees me as perverse. April 14, 2009 at 6:03 PM. I have procr...

Thursday, September 17, 2009. I feel like Sisyphus. It's deeply wearying to constantly go uphill. If you are stuck in Hades, then Hades must be the place to be. September 26, 2009 at 7:10 AM.

Insomnia: Lost and Found
http://quaintancesmith.blogspot.com/2010/03/lost-and-found.html
Tuesday, March 30, 2010. When looking for something lost, the place to start the search is where you think you saw it last. My go-to repository for lost things is usually my fridge. Nine times out of ten, my remote control is found on the eye-level shelf, next to a jar of capers. But what if you lost it so long ago that "where-did-I-see-it-last? Is not a viable search strategy? Then it's a no holds barred search. It's process of elimination. Not here, not here, not there, oh maybe - no, not there. Perhap...
