<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">I've back from Dallas to see Dax and it </span><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">was everything that I hoped it would be. I both laughed and cried during the 2.5 hour show. That's likely more telling of my emotional instability than his performance, #bipolar, but still. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">I had a four hour drive back to Houston this morning to consider what it is about Dax's show last night, and his podcast at-large, that I find so compelling. This is what I came up with....</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Connection..</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">I'm starving for connection. (I think we all are.)</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">I'm also lonely. (I think we all are?!)</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">It'd be convenient to blame my feeling this way on the fact that I'm single AF, #neat, but I don't know that it's that simplistic.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">We tend to think of lonely people as isolated. Cat ladies. Widows. The entire population of Anchorage, Alaska.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">But I'm not isolated. Anything but. I'm constantly surrounded by humans. <i>Too </i>surrounded. Surrounded and exhausted. </span><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">If anything, some isolation sounds fantastic. 24 hours without anyone needing, wanting, or asking something of me sounds orgasmic. (Sorry about that word choice. Did I mention I'm single?)</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">What I mean when I say, "I'm lonely", is that I'm desperate for someone to see me. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">To see how hard I'm trying. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">To see how scared I am that I'm gonna fuck it up. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">To see how far I've come (so far!) and yet how much farther I have to go. (So far!)</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">So it's no surprise that a podcast "celebrating the messiness of being human" resonates with me. Hearing Dax talk to anyone, let alone Hollywood's shiniest stars, about the "challenges and setbacks that ultimately lead to growth and betterment" is not only appealing to me, but necessary therapy and connection every time I get in my car. It makes me feel less lonely.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Dax doesn't see me. He doesn't know me. But he validates me with each and every episode he puts out.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Last night at The Majestic Theatre he did just that. Though initially skeptical because the surprise guest was </span><a href="https://gordonkeithinfo.wordpress.com/" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;" target="_blank">Gordon Keith</a>, <span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">#who?, I was quickly won over. Like Dax, Gordon was equal parts hilarious, articulate, and vulnerable.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Dax and Gordon cried too. Mostly from laughing but also when recalling recent poignant moments in their lives with their parents that have passed. </span><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">I don't remember the context but at one point in the night Dax nodded to something Gordon was saying and said, "<i>life can be just be so incredibly brutal." </i></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">It definitely can be. Thankfully I have <a href="https://armchairexpertpod.com/" target="_blank">Armchair Expert</a> to help get me through.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><b>P.S.</b> Introducing, to the uninitiated, <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=np4ipA0uX6w" target="_blank">Gordon Keith.</a> <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Rpt0qf5qowg" target="_blank">Here too.</a></span><br />

<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Buongiorno my long lost blog readers!!!<b>! Can you hear me?</b><i> Is anyone still out there?!</i> </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">I know it's been <i>a minute</i>. <a href="http://www.madmegcreativeservices.com/#intro" target="_blank">Mad Meg</a> has forced me to let this blog go a bit, and I think that's a good thing. I could, (and maybe will?) write an entire post about the current blogging landscape and my complicated relationship to it but today I'd like to not overthink it and just post some pics with maybe a caption or two. Cool? </span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Since we were only in Venice for 24 hours, and arrived late in the afternoon, we missed our opportunity for a gondola ride. I did find a dude willing to take us on an "after hours" spin but the pitch blackness, tight fit, and stench from the water made it feel more like a refugee ride than a romantic rendezvous. We laughed through it regardless.</span></div>

Greetings from Texas!http://www.blogger.com/profile/05843074051693386644noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5616772853861421635.post-51044027994482839372016-09-19T07:02:00.001-05:002016-09-19T07:02:22.375-05:00Fall Fashion a la Megan<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">This week I got rid of about 50% of my wardrobe and I can't tell you how freeing it felt. Freeing but difficult. I knew from the amazing yet cancelled tv show <a href="http://www.tlc.com/tv-shows/what-not-to-wear/" target="_blank">What Not To Wear</a> that humans have an emotional connection to our clothes. <b>AMEN!</b> Why it was hard to get rid of pieces I haven't worn in years is beyond me. But I did it and was rewarded for doing so at <a href="http://www.buffaloexchange.com/" target="_blank">Buffalo Exchange</a> where I made out like a banjee. Bandit? What is this expression??</span></div>

<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">While the majority of <a href="http://www.madmegcreativeservices.com/#intro" target="_blank">Mad Meg</a> clients come to us via referral, </span><a href="http://www.andrealevoff.com/" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;" target="_blank">Andrea Levoff</a><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"> and I go back to the early 2000's. We both had moved to Chicago after college, as did my cousin, </span><a href="http://www.greetingsfromtx.com/2012/01/nye-in-nola.html" style="font-family: '"arial"', '"helvetica"', sans-serif;" target="_blank">Anne-Marie</a>,<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"> who introduced us. I'm not sure if this classifies as nepotism, but if it does, I'm cool with it.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><a href="http://www.andrealevoff.com/" target="_blank">Andrea</a>, who eventually got a Masters in Spiritual Psychology, became a mom, and dabbled as a stand-up comic, called me this winter and pitched me an idea for a hilarious web series she'd had after seeing a Tina Fey bit. I loved the concept and was excited to fully flush out the idea, build a brand around it, and utilize my storyboarding skills I'd learned in a screenwriting class I took way a few years prior.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">I've substituted my Crystal light for lemon oil and it's just as good and surely much better for me. You can also use lemon oil in your dishwasher which I'm excited to try. And, you can add a few drops to your facewash to brighten your complexion and slough off dead skin. I'm down for that as well.</span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Come see <a href="http://www.fromproseccotoplaid.com/" target="_blank">Julie</a> and I (we're splitting a booth) where we'll be 1 of 30 local vendors selling cool ass shit. <a href="http://www.fromproseccotoplaid.com/" target="_blank">Julie</a> will be selling her book <a href="http://www.greetingsfromtx.com/2015/11/oops-book-condom-ha-giveaway.html" target="_blank">Oops</a> and her Greeting Card Line while I'll be slanging both <a href="http://www.megansilianoff.com/" target="_blank">From J to Z</a> and <a href="http://www.megansilianoff.com/" target="_blank">99 Problems.</a></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">1. It's entertainment for your kiddo. Doesn't taking a day off from the humid <i>AF</i> park sound amazing? Bring your offspring to the air conditioned market where they can participate in crafts and face painting galore! </span></div>

A lack of partner or kiddo is not a reflection on one's happiness or a sign that their life trajectory is unfinished<b>.</b> Preach on Rachel Green!</span><br />

<div>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: small;"><span style="color: #222222;">Ali Wong, Baby Cobra- If you like Amy Schumer, you'll love Ali Wong. She's changing the game of female stand-up comedy in the best way possible. Delivering her act while preggo and having a bit about a previous miscarriage are examples of this. But I don't want to politicalize her stand-up because what's first and foremost about this girl is she's fucking funny.</span></span></div>

Bleh. I discovered <a href="http://rstyle.me/n/bupbm9pz7n" target="_blank">That's It bars</a> at a gas station of all places though and I'm in. The ingredients in the apple/mango bar are apple <i>and </i>mango. <i>That's it</i>! Ha! <a href="http://rstyle.me/n/bupbm9pz7n" target="_blank">Order them in bulk</a> for your kiddos on-the-go brekkie!</span></span></div>

My first tips would be to dine during non-peak hours. The line is no joke and having to order at the counter is the one draw-back of the place. Two, and this is important, Uber there. They have an array of fun, creative drinks and you're eagerness to try them will leave you inebriated. </span></span></div>

<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Luke and I are coming up on our one year anniversary as we met last summer through <a href="http://www.madmegcreativeservices.com/" target="_blank">Mad Meg</a> intern at the time, <a href="http://www.madmegcreativeservices.com/the-madmeg-blog/2015/9/2/my-internship-at-mad-meg" target="_blank">Sara Nelson</a>. (They had been high school classmates.) I was meeting with three illustrators that week but I offered Luke the opportunity on the spot despite having two meetings to go. I just knew he was my guy!</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Luke is young, (still a student at UT! HOOK 'EM!), talented, sweet, and potentially single ladies!!! (I don't know - I didn't ask him that question. You guys can though!)</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Without further ado, here is Luke Harper!</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></span>
<br />
<div class="p1">
<span class="s1"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><b>1. Did illustrating the book impact how you felt about Jay Z? If so, how?</b></span></span></div>
<div class="p1">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="p1">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Before illustrating the book, I didn't really know much about Jay Z, but now I'm a fan! My favorite songs of his are "Izzo (H.O.V.A.)," "Dirt off Your Shoulder," and "Otis." I like how easy it is to understand what he's saying. </span></div>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">
</span>
<br />
<div class="p1">
<span class="s1"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><b><br /></b></span></span></div>
<div class="p1">
<span class="s1"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><b>2. What was it like working with Megan? Is she as crazy as she seems?</b></span></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Megan communicates very effectively, so working with her was easy. She expressed her ideas well, she gave me good feedback on my work, she helped me plan every illustration, and, most importantly, she responded quickly. I never had to wait!</span><br />

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><i>I don't know what I'm wearing and don't really want to talk about it.</i></span></div>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>

</b></span><br />
<div class="p1">
<span class="s1"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><b>3. You’re a crazy talented artist, but you’re not majoring in art at UT. Can you talk to us a little bit about your decision process on that.</b></span></span></div>
</div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">I honestly didn't go into college thinking that I wanted to be an artist. While I've been drawing all my life, it never crossed my mind to do anything with my talent. I just focused on doing well in school, and didn't think about what I wanted to do in the future. However, once I started to learn about the people and the processes behind the movies, animations, comics, and video games that I love, I decided that I wanted to enter the creative world! At UT, I'm a History major and an English major with a minor in Art History. I think that all of the writing that I'm doing for school will complement my painting and drawing. All of my interests are about combining storytelling and art.</span></div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><b>
</b></span><br />
<div class="p1">
<span class="s1"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><b>4. What part of illustrating the book did you enjoy the most? What part did you least enjoy?</b></span></span></div>
</div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Once Megan and I decided on using watercolors for the illustrations, I had a blast painting! Meanwhile, all of the time that I had to spend in Photoshop removing pencil lines from the illustrations wasn't fun, but now I know for sure what I would do differently!</span></div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><b>
</b></span><br />
<div class="p1">
<span class="s1"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><b>5. You grew up in Houston! What are your five favorite spots in the city?</b></span></span></div>
</div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Houston is low-key so good. Five favorite spots in the city? Memorial Park is a world-class running venue, <a href="http://www.fatcatcreamery.com/" target="_blank">Fat Cat Creamery</a> is the best ice-cream destination, the Galleria is actually super fun to walk around, Rice Village is great because that's where I hung out with my friends back in high school, and finally, the <a href="http://www.goodecompany.com/taqueria.asp" target="_blank">Goode Co. Taqueria</a> is the hero of Mexican food: truly the best of Texas and Mexico. </span><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Meanwhile, I really want to check out the mysterious </span><a href="https://www.downtownhouston.org/district/downtown-tunnels/" style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;" target="_blank">underground tunnels</a><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"> that are supposedly beneath downtown Houston. I literally never knew they existed until two years ago. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>

<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Most people in my apartment complex use it as a dining room. But here's something neat about me - I eat 100% of my meals on my couch. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">I wanted to do something creative with the space and thought having a meditation room would encourage me to meditate more. I went to Home Depot, got a few paint samples, and wallah - I was completely overwhelmed.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: small;">Connected through an internet friend (thanks <a href="http://katelynnow.com/" target="_blank">Katelyn</a>) <a href="http://www.laurinteriors.com/" target="_blank">Lauren</a> and I began working together remotely. I told <a href="http://www.laurinteriors.com/" target="_blank">Lauren</a> a bit about what I was going for in terms of a zen room with lots of plants and she was like, "<i>you mean like a jungalow?</i>" and I was like, "<i>I don't know. WTF is a jungalow</i>?"</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: small;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: small;">After a quick google search, I learned that a jungalow is <a href="http://www.thejungalow.com/" target="_blank">a super rad lifestyle blog</a> and something the</span><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: small;"> urban dictionary defines as a treehouse. My definition of a jungalow goes more like this - "a room with a shitload of plants." </span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: small;">Either way, I loved Lauren's vision and it was full speed ahead.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Another big player in this whole jungalow makeover was a company/app called <a href="https://pickupnow.com/" target="_blank">Pick Up</a>. I'd like you to think of them as Uber for when you have to move. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">So here's the deal. I found this couch at <a href="https://fleastyle.com/" target="_blank">Fleastyle</a>, wanted it, but had no way to get it home in my small car. </span><br />

<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Don't worry guys - <a href="https://pickupnow.com/" target="_blank">Pick Up</a> to the rescue! </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">I simply downloaded their app and botta bing, botta boom - movers quickly arrived to follow me home. (Me in my car. Them in their pick-up truck with the couch). Genius, no? The whole thing only cost me $65 and the majority of <a href="https://pickupnow.com/" target="_blank">Pick Up </a> employees are ex-military or off duty fireman.

There are only 8 stand-alone Nars stores <b>in the entire world</b>!!!</span><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"> We're getting the 9th! The people at Nasa disagree, but this officially puts Houston on the map in terms of important commerce being conducted.</span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">For those of you who that are all "Soul <i>what</i>"? <a href="https://www.soul-cycle.com/" target="_blank">SoulCycle</a> is the spin gym that started in NYC and was made famous by its celeb clients like Kelly Ripa and Lea Michele. Despite the hype that surrounds SoulCycle, I was nervous for them coming to Houston as it's a saturated marketplace as we already have Define, Revolution, Ryde, and Ride (not joking - there's two gyms named Ride - just spelled differently) that offer very similar classes. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">That said, SoulCylce was pretty great guys. They hands down have the best merch - I wanted to buy one of everything they had and their space is so bright and clean. For people not familiar with these type of spin classes - I love them because you get your cardio, but they also integrate aspects of yoga with candles, moments of guided meditation/silence so you get your mental benefits too. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">If you're in Houston, def try SoulCycle. Tell them Megan sent you. They'll be, "<i>oh that blogger that was super late to the event she was hosting and then died throughout the entire class</i>?" To which you'll answer, "<i>Precisely</i>." </span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">New Restaurant alert - or at least new restaurant to me. <a href="http://www.haroldsheights.com/" target="_blank">Harolds</a> on 19th street is where its at folks. It had been on my radar being right across the street from <a href="http://manready.com/" target="_blank">Manready Mercantile</a> and <a href="http://shopemersonrose.com/" target="_blank">Emerson Rose</a> so the location is ideal. The food is great too. Harold's generously hosted my blogger friends and I upstairs where they serve southern and creole food.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Downstairs, however, they have what they call Harold's tap room and Alli's Pizzeria where you can INFUSE YOUR OWN COCKTAILS, pizza, and other snacks. Definitely put this on your to try list in Houston - it warrants it. I was sorta sick the night of the dinner so didn't have much of an appetite, I can't wait to go back so I can really indulge.</span><br />
