When Screen Time Steals Your Love Life

After my first marriage ended, I jumped headfirst into the dating scene—probably a little too soon. I signed up for every dating app imaginable, determined to find a new relationship before giving my heart and mind a chance to recover. 

On one date, a girl from OkCupid casually mentioned right away that she didn’t really have time to date or want a boyfriend. Confused, I asked why she was on a dating app, and she shrugged, saying she was just "seeing what was out there." That didn’t stop me from asking for a second date, which I never got.

Daft Punk - Voyager

Music Appreciation

"Voyager" by Daft Punk, created by the French electronic duo Thomas Bangalter and Guy-Manuel de Homem-Christo, is one of the standout tracks from their 2001 album Discovery. Released on March 12, 2001, during an era when electronic music was pushing boundaries and genres were blending, Discovery showcased Daft Punk’s distinctive blend of disco, house, and electro-funk. 

"Voyager" embodies this fusion beautifully, offering a smooth, almost dreamlike rhythm that feels both futuristic and nostalgic. The track stands out with its relaxed groove and airy guitar riffs, adding a layer of soulful warmth that fans weren't necessarily expecting from two musicians known for high-energy, dance-heavy beats.

Musically, "Voyager" gives listeners a sense of, well, voyaging—exploring an ethereal space, coasting through melodies that feel like they could stretch on forever. The combination of a steady bassline and cosmic synths creates a sense of weightlessness, as if you're traveling through the stars, led by Daft Punk’s unmistakable style. It's a track that invites listeners to get lost in its hypnotic pulse and smooth transitions, perfect for late-night drives or moments when you’re feeling introspective. In true Daft Punk fashion, it's both minimalistic and lush, each sound chosen and placed with precision.

The music video, directed by Kazuhisa Takenouchi, captures the otherworldly spirit of the song. It’s part of Daft Punk’s Interstella 5555 project, a collaboration with anime legend Leiji Matsumoto, where every song from Discovery tells a part of an animated space opera. 

In "Voyager," we follow the escape of a band of aliens who’ve been taken to Earth against their will. The video underscores themes of freedom and self-discovery, blending space exploration with the deeper emotional journey of the characters. The visual narrative resonates with the track’s soothing, exploratory vibe, creating a perfect marriage of sight and sound that still captivates fans today.

Cathy Rowland

Model Appreciation

Cathleen Lynn Rowland, better known as Cathy Rowland, captivated audiences in the early 1970s with her charm, beauty, and a set of striking brown eyes that immediately caught my attention. 

Born on March 11, 1950, in Los Angeles, California, she had a free-spirited approach to life that set her apart from the crowd. While she briefly considered a career as a dental assistant, her passion for music and adventure led her elsewhere. At 5'5", her natural beauty and effortless confidence landed her in the pages of Playboy, where she was named Playmate of the Month in August 1971. 

Photographed by the renowned Mario Casilli, her centerfold spread reflected not just her physical appeal but also her independent nature and love for travel.

Before gracing the pages of Playboy, Cathy kept herself busy with an unconventional work style, bouncing between secretarial gigs through a temp agency while picking up occasional modeling assignments. She valued her freedom above all, choosing experiences over stability. This love for adventure took her on spontaneous trips across Mexico and beyond. She also spent time as a Bunny at the Playboy Resort in Jamaica.

But her true passion was music—she dreamt of making a name for herself in the recording industry and worked tirelessly to pursue that goal. Alongside her husband, she later ran a recording studio in Los Angeles, where they contributed foley work for film and television.

Interestingly, Cathy's legacy in Playboy extended beyond her own time in the spotlight. Her daughter, Kimberly Rowland, followed in her footsteps and appeared in the 2008 Playmate Daughters layout, proving that confidence and beauty run in the family. Though Cathy may have stepped away from the public eye, her adventurous spirit and love for music left an impression far beyond her time in front of the camera. Whether through her work in modeling, music, or film production, she lived life on her own terms—a true free spirit with a touch of Hollywood glamour.
