Song title: "Frontline"
My friend Millie Hansen and I wrote this song and Melody Michalski sung it so beautifully for the demo. Some days you just need a battle cry, and today this is mine.

My dear and longtime friend Marcel asked me if I would help him to express his gratitude and affection for the love of his life and partner in crime, James (who I also love dearly).
I responded, "oh heck yes! please. and thank you."
This ...is the song that we created for James' birthday surprise. I thought I'd share because it made me feel the feeling of falling in love, which is fun and fantastic! Also it's Friday (i love alliteration).

I hope you enjoy.
Happy Birthday James!

This weekend. Oh this weekend, I'd like to bottle up and revisit from time to time so that I can remember how great she was to me. Co-write, My So-Called Life watching (never. gets. OLD.), sun, friends and goodness. I'm feeling like this now.
Despite what I'll say tomorrow morning when my alarm goes off, I think its good to have something that you love too much to put down and go to bed.
Dear Warby Parker,
You are certainly a class act. Thank you for making lovely eyewear and for providing glasses for people who desperately need them. I'm a fan. Also, thanks for knowing the way to this English Literature major's heart.
Yours in books and spectacles,
Courtney

Sharing a song with some amazing people. Sometimes Mondays are awesome (and by "sometimes" I mean, very rarely are Mondays ever awesome, but this particular Monday was :))
Me. After dancing around my apartment watching all of the amazing Grammy performances tonight!! Beyonce/jay z, imagine dragons/ Kendrick Lamar, Lorde, Sara Bareilles and the legendary Carole King, and so
Many others!!! My little heart nearly gave out. To bed with me.

The great art of Mahader Tesfai-thank you for letting me be a part of this lovely evening!
It's been 7 years since a very nervous open mic night led to me falling in love with sharing songs and stories. Tonight I'm heading back to UCSB to sing some songs and I'm so excited!!
Feeling nostalgic and grateful.
Remembering and missing this place and the amazing people I knew and loved here.
If you're in SB, head to the Multicultural Center on campus at 7pm, good times will be had

but I'm sharing it anyway.

The holidays are upon us.
Happy Thanksgiving you guys!
I'm feeling really grateful for all of you. More musical things will be coming from me in the New Year. I promise!
For now, I found this red lipstick on sale. It's pretty fun, especially when it's not on my teeth.

my dear sweet friend,
we're not younger now, the glow fades. and dreams get harder to run after. i wish i had connected a wire between your heart and mine; the signal would have sounded. but down to your flesh and bones, molecules and matter, my friend, you loved-and i was made better for it. i was made who i am because of it.
it's worth slowing down, and listening better.
i'm listening now.

Also, can I just say that I love nothing more than a dog in the studio. Make my day and warm my heart all at the same time. Please. xxo
