City Elf: Half Freak, Half Square: But Now I'm Gold

This song has such a catchy, retro quality to it; it's actually a pretty depressing video, but I like it anyways.

The song is Silver Lining by Rilo Kiley.

Narcissistic Nonsense

Location: I live in Pasadena, CA but originally I'm from Indiana. I've lived in Southern California for almost 16 years. Like Randy Newman, I love L.A., especially the palm trees, the skyline, and the view of the mountains after the rain. I've lived near USC, as well as in Glendale, K-town, San Diego, Westwood, and Long Beach.

Family: I grew up fairly middle-class in a Mexican-American Catholic family as the youngest of five children; I was the only one of us who who left the promised land until my oldest brother moved to Montana, of all places, a couple of months ago. I have oodles of nieces and nephews who I absolutely adore and I have the receipts from Toys R Us to prove it.

Personal: I'm a political junkie who has worked for an elected official, on a doomed presidential campaign, and for numerous non-profits. I read voraciously, almost anything I can get my hands on, but mostly blogs, food magazines, and fiction (not necessarily in that order.) I like to write but I don't do it often enough. I have a distinctive laugh and a double-jointed thumb. I am addicted to Yelp, Diet Coke, my Blackberry, red wine, and garlic.
