Reason #29837 Why Mothers Are Just the Best

After an extremely successful Skype session with my parents, my mother has come up with the perfect name for my Benedict Cumberbatch mission, referenced in this previous blog post.

It shall henceforth (turning British) be known as:


CUMBERWATCH 2013



Speaking of mothers, it is actually Mother's Day here in the UK. (It's actually called Mothering Sunday which is so wonderfully specific). So Happy UK Mother's Day to my lovely Ma and all the other mothers out there! Thanks for always taking my panicked phone calls when I'm having a quarter life crisis and/or can't find any peanut butter. And for, of course, supporting my obsession with an actor. You're just the best.

BASICALLY, I'm close to the end of my rope (see what I did there?!) However, there are a few things that I just can't get enough of at the moment that are making the process a little easier.

GET YOUR OWN. honeyhoney - "Lost Highway" (Hank Williams cover) I've been obsessed with hh for a few years now and the obsession is not letting up anytime soon. They're such a great blend of folk, americana, and indie. Plus they are a joy to see play live since they have such great personalities. (I swear, I'm not their manager....I wish). I had the pleasure of seeing them perform at a small pub here in London and they killed it, per usual. Esp...

Happy Father's Day

Since my father is basically the main source of material for this blog, it only seems fitting to dedicate today's post to him. So Happy Father's Day to the man who taught me how to trip with grace and humor. Love you Dad!

Freelancer (Unemployed) Life

Image
IT'S BEEN THREE YEARS?! God, I'm sorry. I feel like I went out for cigarettes and then just left you guys for the traveling troubadour that I met at an open mic night. Truthfully, I didn't feel like I had anything to write about when I stopped traveling around Europe and having adorable fish out of water experiences. But weirdly, a lot of life still managed to happen here in the good ol' USA (I will not talk politics) and, as I am now currently writing this in a coffee shop, my transition into Basic Brooklyn Hipster is now complete. The biggest change has been in my "career". After having a job in a different field for two years, I am back in the TV world and am currently a freelancer...which is a fancy way of saying I'm unemployed a lot of the time. It's a temporary life, but it's one that has been filled with nuggets of self-awareness and eye-opening realizations. Here are 10 things I've discovered while freelancing/riding that unemploym...
