Meet Me at 99 Pleasure Drive (Stoop Lee & Curtis Roach @ Belle Isle)

Y'all know how much I love Detroit, right? I mean, just last year I had a bunch of my favorite humans fly in so I could show them all around the incredible Motor City. So many people react with a "Why?!" when I tell them that I live in the…

Inside my Brain Things I Loved

Persephone, Hawk, Kaylin, Coop & Katia (Things I Loved, July 2026)

Burning Love (Yahoo, DVD) When we did an episode of our podcast all about Yahoo, we found out a lot of things: Yahoo is NOT the place where the Internet goes to die. Yahoo.com has a very clean search engine with no AI interference (as of this typing). Whoever picked…

Are You Steady Now?: Jack White at Pine Knob

I mean, you probably know this already, but the Jack White show at Pine Knob was earth-shatteringly incredible. I felt it in all my bones and all my muscles, and I wish I were there right now. Now, unless you were one of the other 15,000 people there (it felt…

Hello. I am Jacki, and if you know me, you also know that I love Jack White. So much so that I feel it is part of my personality. He's one of those people that, when things happen to him/about him/around him, I get a bunch of texts and messages…

‘Sleep’ing with Max Richter: Month 6

It's been six months since I started this project and a lot has changed: I have no shame about it at all anymore. I just head to bed, turn on my speaker, and hit "play" on "Sleep" by Max Richter. Most nights, Spotify has it already cued up for me.…

Hell, no O, because I am writing this when it is 100 degrees outside. Inside? Well, that depends on which floor you're on. Sometimes, even what room you are in on that floor. Let’s start at the bottom so we can get to wherever “here” is at the moment. The…

Inside my Brain Things I Loved

First off, the title of this blog post sounds like a very prestigious law firm. One that probably specializes in creative divorces, I'm thinking (that's where Widows comes in). However, a law firm is NOT among the things I loved this month. A singular lawyer or two might be, though.…

An Afternoon at the Local Ice Cream Stand

Okay, so at the Professor Haus, there are not one, but two Ice Cream Stands within walking distance. Unfortunately, one of them is closed (and for sale). Fortunately, the other one is open (and owned by friends from my ceramics class). Even more fortunately for me, they currently have Coffee…
