I'm in the New York Press! Sweet! Who knew the protesting could make you so famous? And it's a pretty good picture of me, if I do say so myself...

So I'm at the Episcopal General Convention right now, an enormous governing body that gathers every three years. With 1100+ delegates, it's actually the largest legislative body in the world (bigger than the US Congress, etc). I'm out here playing gigs and doing my thing. I brought a hundred of my new CDs with me in the hopes of building some ( Read more... )

So I did! Finals are over and I dropped another three pounds. Also, after weeks and weeks of losing weight without my waistline changing at all, I finally lost another half an inch. Hurray! I celebrated by buying a whole bunch of pants yesterday, all of which I'm taking to Nashville with me this weekend. There's something really great about ( Read more... )

Finals are over, and now I'm hunkering down into hardcore "finish the album before the big gig in June" mode. The good news is that I've made enough money in the last few months that I can take four weeks off to devote myself to the album full time.

Considering that I jumped up to four sets per exercise for the first time this week, I'm going to hope it's the former ( Read more... )

Yeah, so I overheard my friend Diana telling my friend Laurel that I've "been looking very healthy this semester." That's cool. I don't know if it's the weightloss, the veganhood, or the exfolliating apricot facial scrub, but something's working. It made me feel good ( Read more... )

Ok, so this week can be summarized as "MY LEGS ARE IN AGONY!!!" Holy Crap - doing three sets of widestance barbell squats, three sets of freehand lunges, and one set of one-handed deadlifts is a really significant increase over just three sets of freehand squats. I know this and yet it was a surprise when I woke up last Sunday morning unable to ( Read more... )
