Brilliant Plan, Watson
Guess what, folks? I'm signing up for a 5k! Yay! So, for all you hard-core runners out there, I know a 5k isn’t anything ridiculously impressive. But you know what? For a girl who hasn’t run a race since sophomore year of high school, a 5k is a big deal. And I’ve been super unmotivated to exercise at all lately, so I figured signing up for a race would pretty much force me to run, come hell or high water (although hopefully neither of those things happen).
I guess I'm going to be running out and around the town a bit more now- just like these guys!

The Big 4
The Eagles
I have my dad to thank for my love of these guys. As a kid, my family took a lot of road trips, and The Eagles were the typical music of choice for my father. So I grew up listening to their soulful harmony, and thoughtful lyrics.
Regina Spektor
Why am I such a Regi fan? This girl’s got mad skills. She has a versatile range of lyrical ability, ranging from light and playful to deep and introspective. Her music, to me, captures a lot of humanity. This is one of my favorites by her:
Janelle Monae
This girl is the artist I wish I could be, but I’m just not cool enough. She’s got class, she’s got personality, and an awesomely unique music style that’s all her own. She dances like a master, and writes her own cinema-worthy music. She’s the whole, genuine package.
This is the first song of hers that got me hooked:
And just in case you don't get how cool she really is:
Rob Thomas/Matchbox Twenty
If I were to marry a musical artist, it would be Rob Thomas (woah, not really people. It’s an expression). His music has the power to make my knees weak, and sing to my soul in such a way that leaves me in tears. It’s ridiculous. I guess he’s kind of my celeb crush, mostly just cuz I relate to his music really well. Here's a spin on one of my fave songs of all time:
Pretty awesome, eh folks? What are some of your favorite artists? I'm always on the lookout for something new and exciting.

And Wednesday's Child is... Oh Crap.
And while Wednesday Addams is a lovely little lady, I don’t know if she’s the person I want my daughter named after.
Oh well. Maybe I’ll name her that anyway. Unless they make a remake, the Addams family should fade into some kind of obscurity, right?
