Ce jeux excitant, si bon mais si lassant

My new favorite thing to do during work now that I (finally) have speakers is listening to the live performance podcasts on KEXP, a radio station in Seattle. There are tons of bands on there-- Of Montreal, Broken Social Scene, the list of awesomeness goes on and on. You can download them all through itunes or their rss feed, which is seriously helping with the lack-of-concert I have been experiencing lately. It’s kind of sad actually; I even got a little excited when I walked past a marching band practicing, so clearly I am in withdrawal.

Today I discovered this adorable set from Yelle. Seriously, why wasn’t I born French and awesome? It’s so unfair.

"I don't like vampires. I'm going to take a stand and say they're not good."

I love Buffy like no other. I just got the entire series on DVD and it was without a doubt one of the greatest gifts I have ever received. I have been wanting to blog about it, but it is so not relevant and probably boring to freak out about things from 1997. But seriously... so awesome. 

Then low and behold, I saw this beauty on Jezebel today. It is so so brilliant. Buffy is so bad ass.

What my summer has become

What ever you do, do not join Blip.fm (not if you want to have a life that is). It is beautiful in it's ability to suck you in completely. I think Danielle and I spent at least an hour (honestly, probably more), sitting next to each other on the couch, silently blipping.

Friends, audiophiles, beware.

Realizing that Netflix knows more about me than I know about myself

Let the joy commence

Now that school is over, I am so ready for the technicolor fun that is summer.

Channeling my inner housewife

So next Saturday I move into my new apartment (huzza)! Most of all I am excited for all the pretty things I plan on placing on the walls and tables. 

To start out I bought this cross stitch pattern from radicalrags on Etsy. I have no idea how to cross stitch, but me and Danielle are going to band together to create this beauty. 

New life plan

Why I am quitting school and running away to Dollywood:

1. You can ride the Dollywood Express to work.

2. You can spend your free time wondering through aisles of her old clothes and costumes at Chasing Rainbows, the Dolly Parton Museum.

3. Things like this are available for purchase.

4. Things like this are totally normal and can be seen on a regular basis.
