Urgent Treatment for Ollie

I am officially asking for some help.

My beloved, handsome, derpy, tuxedo boy-cat has fallen dangerously ill. I have taken measures to offset some of the potential cost but the fact remains that his proposed treatment plan will call for an intense regimen of veterinary care and expensive meds- all of which I simply am not able to afford on my own, and time is short. In a matter of days or weeks, the decision will be made for me.

If you would like further details, or to make a donation, please follow this link: Urgent Treatment for Ollie

..If enough of you kind-hearted, animal-loving folks out there might be able and willing to make a contribution towards Ollie’s treatment, it would relieve an incredible amount of the pressure and anxiety tied into the inherent risk in committing to the proposed plan.

Help me to put forth a real effort to save Ollie’s life, that he might be able to spend at least a few more years with me.

Please donate if you can, or consider re-sharing if you can’t.

Thank you for your support.

Yours Truly,

-Merrill

Jenny Lewis Starts Over – Rolling Stone Interview

“After saying goodbye to her mother and a 12-year relationship, an indie-rock icon finds a new clarity in art and life” – Jonah Weiner, Rolling Stone

After 17 years of following her work and all the time I have spent parsing through Jenny’s endless, beautifully stark and haunting lyrics to try to find the points where fact and fiction might meet, I was fascinated when the songwriter herself finally divulged to us a few very personal truths in this article.

Check out this beautiful, RS interview with my favorite performing artist: “Jenny Lewis Starts Over.”
