Musical Pipe Dream: I imagine myself sitting on the floor in front of the sliding glass door to my backyard with the daylight shining on the top of my head. I’m playing main chords on a kid sized keyboard and singing my heart out.

Daily Doodle: LucasArts LEC Family Memories–Guckenheimer Nachos

Blurb 1/365: From 2008 to 2011, I was working at LucasArts. Many things can be said about the company, but one thing I know for sure is that the company had a way of getting talented, smart, hardworking, and sexy, sexy people all into one place. It’s usually hard for me to make good friends. At LucasArts, I made friends that I’ve kept in touch with, and ones that I know I’ll reconnect with in the future.

LucasArts was the place where I learned important life lessons. For all the people that have contributed to LucasArts, I thank you for being a part of my life.

The loss of Disney/Lucasfilm is the world’s gain. I know that I will see your successes soon, whether it be at another company or an independent venture. All of my best to you.

Song of the Day: Money by Sharon Jones & The Dap-Kings

Musical Pipe Dream: I’ve imagined myself being all the different pieces of Sharon Jones & The Dap-Kings’ band. In this song, I imagine myself in the horn section. Tucked over in stage left, two stepping to the beat, swaying when appropriate, and blowing that horn.

Blurb 1/365: Money, need it. Too much money, don’t want it.

Song of the Day: Somethin’ Stupid as sung by Frank and Nancy Sinatra

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u6bOCUOPN0w

–

Musical Pipe Dream: I’m in a small club with a wooden floor. Frank and Nancy Sinatra are seated on the front of a half circle stage with the band crowded behind them. The house lights are down low, the spotlight on the stage. I’m in the center of the dance floor with my eyes closed. My right hand is fluttering at the height of my face with my left hand tucked under my elbow and I’m doing the cha cha by myself.

Blurb 1/365: Everything is ok.

Musical Pipe Dream: When I was at my cousin’s wedding, I envisioned all of us gettin’ down on the dance floor to this song. Maybe at our next family get together we can make this happen.
