Melissa's Backdrop What is this?
Why or why not?
Yes, because it's big enough and it revolves around the sun.
No, so I can one day say to my grandkids "When I was your age, Pluto was a planet."
No, so I can one day say to my grandkids "When I was your age, Pluto was a planet."
Why?
Because Jeanne invented it. And it tastes phenomenal.
What song are you in love with right now? Who is it by?
"Writhe" by O, Satellite, the brainchild of Daineal Parker.
Why do you like it?
The lyrics, the production, the harmony, the intensity, the pathos and the stripped down honesty.
Why?
Because they're delicate. But weirdly so.

I'm liking the whole daily update thing you've got going on, Mel!
I have a lineup of songs just waiting to be recorded, but for some reason I'm being anal and wanting to make the recordings perfect and add all kinds of touches...
But I'd expect to see "Pagodas" (the song inspired by your story) up on Backlight by Sunday.

I'm not saying that 'your face' isn't funny. It's frickin hilarious. Just saying I keep expecting more. Come on Reyes.
And just to establish the things that are always funny are:
Your face is...
Your mom...
That's what she said.
And you should meet my mom. She's awesome.

Dear Mel,
"Your face" retort has been used too much. You need to find another one. You are smart and creative. I know you can come up with something else.
Love,
Alecia

Mel, Jeanne doesn't want to be a vampire, she just wants to fall in love with one.
