A Q&A with the Magnificent Amy K

I've known (and loved) Amy K for the past 5 years. She is sharp, she is silly, and she is so talented that her back still hurts from carrying HHS' string orchestra even though that was two years ago. Here's a Q&A that I did with her last week.

BM: What is your favorite shape?

AK: I really like triangles.

BM: Why?

AK: I dunno, they just remind me of...(bursts out laughing)...Connecticut.

BM: Right, your homeland.

BM: What is your favorite time of day?

AK: 3am.

BM: Why?

AK: Because that's when I go to sleep.

BM: What is the first thing that comes to mind when you see this picture (pulls out hand-drawn picture of a mime)

AK: Lipstick...just look at the lips aren't they just so red and luscious? They just remind me of James Charles' flashback Mary

BM:If you could be anything in the WORLD what would you be?

AK: A rock

BM: What? Why?

AK: Because...I dunno!!

BM: A monkey is running down the street towards you and for some reason you're handicapable and in a wheelchair. What the hell do you do?

AK: Blair!Blair!Blair! I am the monkey...

BM: So you're both the monkey and the handicapable woman?

AK: Yes! I'm omnipresent.

BM: A chicken...has somehow found you in the shower and you're singing your favorite song Celine Dion's My Heart Will Go On. What is your plan of action??

AK: I serenade the chicken because the chicken is now my husband.

BM: You are now betrothed to the cutlet

AK:Yes, exactly.

My Lifelong Affair with Corinne Bailey Rae

Corinne Bailey Rae has existed in my universe for as long as I can remember. My parents were music snobs back in the day and only allowed me and my sisters to listen to what they listened to in a (successful) attempt to make sure that we all picked up their taste. Growing up I heard a lot of Prince, a lot of Sade, a lot of Billie Holiday, and a lot of Stevie Wonder. And while all of those artists have a special place in my heart none of them have stuck with me the way that Corinne Bailey Rae has. Corinne Bailey Rae's self-titled debut album came out in 2006 when I was 2 years old. My family was still a family of four, we hadn't moved to the suburbs yet, and my father still had all of his hair. Things were different. I don't what hearing CBR's music for the first time felt like (re: two years old) but I do know that I heard it all of the time. It played during road trips down to Mississippi, while my mom cooked dinner, while me and my older sister slept. That a...

I cannot wait to walk down the aisle

The running list of things that I miss about my life pre-quarantine is incredibly long. It includes the raw cookies from my school cafeteria, being in large crowds of people and eavesdropping on their conversations and, the movie theater. God, do I miss the movie theater. I miss freaking out over pre ordering tickets hours before the show, I miss bleeding out $20 bills at the concession stand, I miss talking too loudly during the movie and the chipper conversation that always happens after it. I can't wait to walk down my theater's aisle again. It was this longing feeling that lead me to create a 34 second itty-bitty edit of all of my favorite movies. E-N-J-O-Y !

Calculus AB & Me

My relationship with math has always been a turbulent one full of chicken scratch notes, bad assessments, and sometimes (most of the time) some kind of redemption arc. This year has been no different, it's been heightened honestly, with everything that's going on. Last night I spent five (5) hours studying for a test that I had today and it was annoying, and frustrating, and honestly kind of exhausting. But the test wasn't.So.
