I meant to post this Sunday night, or yesterday, but I didn’t even have the ability to make it out of bed yesterday because I was so exhausted (mentally and physically) from this past weekend. I don’t typically vlog (in fact, this is my first one), but I had to get these thoughts out while [...]
I’m writing a completely different post than I’d hoped to write today. How come? It went down like this:
On Tuesday, my friend and chiropractor, Dr. Wheat tweeted this:
@doctor_wheat GAH. i’m kicking myself for listening to spotify all week and not the current. $250 is a bit much. Wed is out.
— CAL-ee. [...]
Don’t worry. I won’t hurt you.
But this song might.
I bought Prince’s “1999″ on a whim from a local record store because it was only $6, and why not. Plus, there was a very obvious penis sketched on the cover, and it was purple. Those are clear selling points when I’m purchasing albums.
I know nobody really cares to read my concert recaps, or my music posts — especially because I keep writing about the same bands it seems lately — but these are the posts I love writing the most, so I’m going to continue to write them. Come back later this week if this bores you.

I couldn’t start today off without saying HAPPY FREAKING BIRTHDAY TO MY LITTLE BABY (and only) SISTER, COREE. She’s 24. So I hope that means she’s an adult now?
Maybe?
And happy belated birthday to her now-4-year-old daughter, my niece, the most adorable girl in the world (next to her aunt, [...]
I’m interrupting my Top 10 Album Countdown to bring you my recap of The Smashing Pumpkins concert that I went to last weekend, which easily falls into my top 3 shows I’ve ever been to (which I’ll count down in a future Sweet Tunes Thursday series).
Hey Calee, the 90s called. [...]
Normally I don’t post twice in a day, but I think last night’s Monday Night Football fiasco deserves a little attention.
I also normally don’t watch a ton of football. I’m a Bears fan. Mark’s a Vikings fan. We are typically disappointed come game day.
There are three reasons we watch football: 1) [...]
During my travels to Austin, TX, I was introduced to a band called Metric. And by introduced, I mean I actually figured out that the band I’ve been digging on The Current is actually Metric. And I’m in love.

They don’t have many official music videos, but [...]
Oddly, this is probably my most running-related post for a while. And it’s a short essay that my college boyfriend wrote. He’s currently working on a masters in creative writing. I’m keeping him anonymous because he is pretty private on the internet, and I don’t want this cropping up in a search engine somewhere. Well, [...]
First of all, I have to tell you that last night’s Doomtree show was awesome! And awesomely loud. I brought ear plugs for once. Loudest show I’ve been to. And you know what kind of music I listen to … \m/
The show was SOLD OUT. Which still made for an intimate event at this [...]
Hi there. I'm Calee (pronounced CAL-e). If that's too hard, just call me Cal. Also known as chimes or the chimes. I'm 28ish, a designer, a runner, a self-proclaimed fitness queen, a craftster, a foodie, a music snob — some might call me a hipster. Here's the unabridged version.
