Best Wedding Invite Ever

Marissa — Thu, 29 Jul 2010 16:55:05 +0000

I got this invite in the mail yesterday for my friend's wedding. It's pretty much the best thing ever.

In true geek fashion, I pixelated the names and the date.

Scott Simons Wallbomb

Marissa — Thu, 15 Jul 2010 20:04:47 +0000

This is quite possibly the best way for a singer/songwriter to connect with their fans. Every Wednesday my friend Scott writes a song based on a random Facebook fan and then posts it on their wall. Check out the first 4 here.

if you want to get wallbombed, become Scott's fan here.

The Social Network

Okay maybe it's because I'm a full on nerd but I think the trailer for The Social Network looks pretty awesome. I had my doubts but if the movie is half as well edited as the trailer, we're in for something pretty good. Plus, the choral arangement of Creep is fantastic.

This is totally the child of two designers! My old boss' kid talking about his "favorite" font.

Cuba Bound

Marissa — Wed, 30 Jun 2010 16:54:33 +0000

On Saturday, my husband and I, along with a rag-tag group of choir nerds will be headed to Havana for a week of music and exploration. I'm very excited to go to Cuba, especially before any embargo is lifted and the Americans come in and turn it into another tourist trap.

Anyone ever been? I'd love some tips and stories.

Becoming a Pleasure Revolutionary

Marissa — Mon, 21 Jun 2010 15:46:48 +0000

Yesterday I graduated as a woman from Mama Gena's School of the Womanly Arts Mastery program. I haven't really discussed my experiences with the program on the blog before mostly because I wanted to keep it private and, to be honest before this weekend I didn't really get it.

But this weekend I got it. Boy did I ever. And my husband got it when he was invited for the Mama Gena Gives it up to Men night and the Men's panel the next day. I can't really divulge too many details but the basic premise is that Mama teaches women to constantly be searching for and living in their own pleasure. That isn't just physical pleasure but emotional pleasure. You should handle even the most mundane tasks with a sense that is is the most enjoyable thing you have ever done. She uses the example of a woman doing the dishes with music on in a paid of stilettos.

Anyway I had been anonymously gifted the tuition for the program and I found out last night who my benefactor was. I won't say on the blog but I can say that she is a Goddess with a capital G and she has given me a gift that I don't know if I could every repay her. Not just the money but the push I needed to actually take the leap into such an amazing, wonderful world of pleasure. I thank her and will continue to thank her for the rest of my life.

If you're interested in Mama Gena you can read her books or check out her website. She is a queen among women and I encourage you to check her sweet ass out!

Guitar Lessons

Marissa — Tue, 15 Jun 2010 01:36:04 +0000

Today, I had my first guitar lesson in years. One of my homework assignments is to come up with a list of songs that I want to learn to play. So I put it to you, my friends to help me put together this list. If you could learn to play any song on the guitar, what would you want to learn?
