On a Monday morning, sometimes you just need a little pick-me-up. This works for me.
Today I love, love, love....
Today I love, love, love....
"And I say, it's alright."

Male, Middle-Class & White: Chris Made a Mixtape!
I'm really excited about this one! This month's mix is a little different and really special... Chris made it!
I asked him about a month ago to make a mix for my blog and he did! He picked the songs, and put them in order. I helped a bit with the title and artwork. It's some pretty good stuff, too, lemmetellya. Lots of classic rock and some 90's thrown in there, too, with just a sprinkling of current stuff including: Queen, Weezer, Vampire Weekend, The Beach Boys, Ben Folds, and more!
Click HERE to download it directly from Dropbox (it's waaaay easier than megaupload, just click and you're downloading!)
Or, listen before downloading below, via 8tracks.
Sorry for the wait, but I think it's worth it. Next month we'll be back to our regularly scheduled Katie-made Mixes. But in the meantime, let us know how you liked Chris' mix in the comment section!

Golden Years
Today I love Bowie's Golden Years. It just makes me happy.

Humpday Listday: Girl Crushes
Every girl has Girl Crushes. Every guy has Man Crushes. It's a fact of life. These are my celebrity Girl Crushes. And I'm sticking to live ones for this... Ms. Hepburn (both of them) will just have to sit this one out.
2. Sarah Michelle Gellar. She'll always be Buffy to me.
3. Dolly Parton. Classic and always unapologetic. There's just nobody quite like Dolly.
"I'm not offended by all the dumb blonde jokes because I know I'm not dumb... and I also know that I'm not blonde."
4. Billie Piper. Former teen pop Queen (like the Britney of the UK), who's played companion to The Doctor, and a high-class quick-witted call-girl. She's gorgeous, funny, smart and British. Pretty much perfect, right?
5. Summer Glau. She kicked Reaver butt as River in Firefly, and she's been a Terminator, for goodness sake! At this point, I'd watch her in anything!
6. Kate Moennig. You watch her in The L Word as Shane for 6 seasons and just try not to love her. It's impossible!
7. Zooey & Emily Deschanel. They're sisters, so I'm counting them as one. Basically, the prettiest siblings around.
8. Felicia Day. Penny from Dr. Horrible, Queen of Twitter, and writer/creator/star of The Guild. And a redhead! Best. Geek. Ever.
9. Kristen Bell. She's tiny, blonde, and has a wit so sharp it could cut through steel. And she's got mad detective skills in Veronica Mars.
10. Katee Sackhoff as Starbuck. I'm pretty sure she could kick your ass. And everybody else's.
Honorable Mention: Allison Janney (C.J. Cregg is my hero), Tina Fey (Um... our cat's name is Liz Lemon for Pete's sake!), and Alicia Silverstone & Liv Tyler in Aerosmith's Crazy video.
Who's your Girl Crush?

1. Jenny Lewis. Oh, Jenny. I want her hair. I want her voice. I want her sly smile. I want her way with words. She's just perfect, isn't she?

I *Heart* Fish
There seems to be a never-ending stream of cute over at Badbird. This month's free embroidery pattern is no exception.
Today, I love this walrus pattern from Badbird!
Really, who wouldn't love it?
xox
PS... This is the first "today I love" post in FOREVER! I promise I'll be better from now on. How much better, we'll just have to see....

Home
Well, we're back from DC and are soooo tired. Today's the first of June and I really planned on having a brand new mixtape ready for you, but it just hasn't happened quite yet. It will take another day or so. Expect it by the end of the week. In the meantime, you can download June's mix from Big Red Robot... my favorite place for monthly mixtapes. His mixes always make me happy.
Also, I'm hoping to have a few more pictures from the trip edited and posted by the end of the week. I really should get to those 500+ unread items in Google Reader, too. I feel so disconnected with the blog world. Okay, I feel disconnected with the whole world. I'm also starting to feel like I should maybe weed out some blogs that I don't "actively" read. You know, the ones you just scroll through, looking at the pictures. I'll add it to my ever expanding to-do list. Right now, however, the top of my to-do list reads, "Go to work!" So, to work I go.
