She's A Summer Girl

Chiara, trying on dresses for me, just came into the room to show me a recent purchase. She took a wide eyed look out the window at the clamshell sized snowflakes heaping down, made a face like a kitten that was just made to lick a lemon and said, in a little raspy voice: "winter."

Etta James, R.I.P.

Even though you were kinda weirdly bitchy about America's Sweetheart ™, BeyoncĂ©, singing your song to the Obamas at the inaugural ball, I still have nothing but good feeling about you, Etta. I listen to your albums that I have all of the time, really and truly I do. I am sorry you died. Dying is the worst and you were the best.
