these are the words

i want my future husband to feel for me and vice versa.

i love this song and everything it stands for.

Birthday Celebration

on sunday i turned 28.

me and my friends went to dinner and then to go watch Toro Y Moi at the Lowbrow Palace.

it was one of the best shows i have been to.

seriously.

the venue was jam packed, but it was not overwhelming.

i was dancing around the entire time.

if you know me, you know that means the concert had to be good.

the last time i was dancing around at a concert was with D when we saw madonna.

definitely not as epic as seeing madonna, but pretty amazing nonetheless.

here are a few pics from the evening.

and here is a little video i took of one of my favorite Toro Y Moi songs.

True Widow

unless you live under a rock, through reading this blog you know that i am a huge music freak. there are few things i love more than good music - and i only like good music ;-) - from great bands.

among the things i love more than great bands are great bands from TEXAS such as midlake who come from Denton, TX which i one day plan to visit, but that is another story for another time...

so back to great bands from texas. i recently discovered True Widow. their base is in Dallas which i am actually going to visit very soon, but again that is another story for another time...

i am totally looking forward to True Widow's 2nd album and you should too.

until it drops, i leave you with this little teaser...

moxie

let me preface this with telling you that i am running on 4 hours of sleep and have a very busy day meeting with professor W and doing hw.

one of the things i love about life and more specifically, the written word is when i read something that stops me dead in my tracks and makes me think. that happened today and i wanted to just share what i read:

"Are you frightened by the weight you possess"

i have no idea why but it just struck a chord with me. so because im all done with my hw, im gonna be a loser and leave the library and think about why i liked that so much. :-)


good day

bon iver

i've been raving about him so might as well share what he sounds like. enjoy.
