New Album by Animal Kingdom

One of my new friends (in Walnut Creek) introduced me to this amazing band from London. This is their first single from their newly released album, "The Looking Away."

The video is...um...unusual--I don't understand it--but the song is really good. "White Sparks" is my favorite track on the album. Check it out!

Paul Smith

My utterly fabulous sister, Erica, was in London for business back in October; she was kind enough to pick me out the perfect Christmas gift: a Paul Smith scarf from Harrods.

Somehow I was not able to find the exact scarf on the online store, but this is as close to what it looks like as I could find. I've received several compliments today, from coworkers and customers alike. Kudos to my sister, Erica.
