"I'm not gonna lie
Saying everyone's gonna be alright
And fine until we die
But what else can you do
But hope and pray and save
And we'll get by.


You got to be prepared to be surprised
It's all I know."

"Wanna hold you like never before

'case we're falling and I love you more and more.

Do you feel like you're falling down?

Ba ba ba ba ba ba."

that is THE greatest shirt.

THE greatest.

and that shot of Sondre Lerche is so dapper.

autumn falling from trees.

i can't say it enough.
i love this season.

it is so refreshing.

has it always been this great?
i just don't remember being so much in love with a season.
sometimes i take the longly long way home so i can look at the trees and colors a little longer.
driving in the evenings when there's still a little light is the greatest, especially with the windows down and the heat on.

i think a picnik sounds nice, with my picnik basket that the parents were planning on throwing out.
who does that?

a blanket.
the colorful trees.
some friends.
my camera.

i'm excited for Valentine's Day, only because i can't wait to hang these heart doilies up.

though fake fights are the best.
there was a good month or two a while back when that's alls we did.
fake fight.
YENNNA!

it seems that lately people expect a lot out of me/us.

it's just real hard sometimes.

no time. i swear.

online classes are just never in the picture.

you know what's the greatest?

reading about song artists.

i just bought THE VERY BEST OF THE RASCALS for a good 5 dollars.

5 dollars. via the Walmart.

perfect.

anyway, the greatest is when you buy a new CD and then you just have to pop that baby in yer car as fast as possible and skim through every song.

and then once home you get to read the fun little packet that's inside.

aaand then you find out neat stuff about the artist.

example: the lead singer of The Rascals used to be in a mini band with Neil Diamond when he was a kiddo.

who woulda known. yeah.

CDs are so fun.

just plain old absolute complete fun.

guess what else is fun...using absolute before everything.

top three adjectives: absolute, complete, hilarious.

you are hilarious.

i laugh at you via hilariousness.

i'm stuffed via Taco Amigo.

picture time.

awkward picture by the fakely fire with the beardly friends.

most minutes of the day i don't make sense.

yellow.

we saw some lone balloons in the sky yesterday.

the aspen trees are yellow, yellow, yellow.

the yellows and greens looks so pretty.

huzzah for fall.

airplanes by local natives.

i love that song and video, that house is full of stuff.

i love stuff.

lightbulbs, cameras, newspapers, bottles, paper clips, photos.

stuff.

songs about Lucy.

derivatives are fun.
f'(x)
f''(x)
f'''(x)
isn't that fun.
it's like a dream within a dream within a dream.

i've been singing this song all day so i figured i better draw a picture.

on a miniature paper bag.

there's something about writing your life away on a paper bag.

try it.

sundrenched world.

yesterday. Jameson and i wandered into Gray Whale, as i do.
we searched the old record boxes, as we do.
and found...
Rick Springfield and TOTO for two dollars.

brilliant.

now just for that record player...

one day.

yes we did go to She & Him

lovely lovely

over it over again.

She & Him.

these two. these two are too cool.

{lastfm}

last night confirmed everything i've ever thought of Zooey.

she is too cool.

obviously she was wearing the coolest dress with tights.

her hair.

her with that tamborine.

so neat to see the source to the background voices.

when they played Lingering Still and she did that keyboard solo.

love.

she has kissed Joseph Gordon-Levitt.

Thieves.

unfortunately we didn't see much of M. Ward, i wish i could've heard his voice a little more.

he's definitely classy though.

her little dances.

energetic.

i'm so glad we all have the biggest girl crush on her.

despite the surrounding drugs, smoke, sweat, heat, millions of people, fweaks and beer.

it was totally worth it.

pictures to come soon.

ps. Mockingjay:

i'm still reading it, i decided to not read it in one day like the first two.

it's the last one and i want it to last.

i'm almost done and i can't decide how i feel about it.

so far i've been real mad most the time, so we'll see...

shoo-shoo-shoo.

i feel like i've been running and running and running all week long.

weekend camping trip: thank you.

i'm off to Sugar Town.

aka anywhere but here.

"i got some troubles but they won't last

i'm gonna lay right down here in the grass

and pretty soon all my troubles will pass

'cause i'm in shoo-shoo-shoo, shoo-shoo-shoo
shoo-shoo, shoo-shoo, shoo-shoo Sugar Town."

thank you for those words of comfort Nancy, daughter of Frank.

and i listened to these today.

 Janglin: Edward Sharpe & The Magnetic Zeros.

Microphone: Coconut Records.

Sky Blue Sky: Wilco.

She's a Rich Girl: Hall & Oats.

Free as a Bird: The Beatles.

Boogie Shoes: KC & The Sunshine Band.

No Ones Gonna Love You: Band of Horses.

i love reading the biography of my favorite bands, some of them have pretty interesting backgrounds. like how Zack Condon from Beirut dropped out of school at 16, traveled to Europe drunk, and hung around some gypsies who helped him fall in love with the kind of music he makes now.

and i have a thing for dapper band pictures. ps i'm dead sure that cool band pictures were incepted from The Beatles. it only makes sense. good music evolved from those four beautiful men.
