Vince Guaraldi

An amazing pianist and composer. Unfortunately, I don't remember much from A Charlie Brown Christmas considering I haven't seen it in over a decade. Despite that, Guaraldi's music remains timeless and able to be appreciated for its beauty regardless of the season. The song currently playing is Christmas Time is Here (Instrumental version) which has been used dramatically in The Royal Tenenbaums and comedicly in Arrested Development.

Jazz usually has a calming effect on me as I tend to view myself in a scene of relaxation and isolation. One song in particular, struck me very positively when I first heard it. Guaraldi's Peppermint Patty has an especially sweet refrain which makes me long for cooler weather and amber leaves.

Today's pictures are unisexual:
Simon Pegg. British actor/comedian famous for his roles in Sean of the Dead, Hot Fuzz, and recently How to Alienate People and Lose Friends. He had a great role in Star Trek too except for that whole water tube episode.


Katy Perry. First thing I ever really heard saw about her was a picture of her serving dishes at a Denny's (some sort of publicity thing). I thought she looked like Zooey D. Anyway... this picture some people my roommate might say is not so unisexual. But she kissed a girl and liked it so whatever and ever, amen.
