Song of the Month: October 2013

Okay, four different songs this month. Don't even ask why, just go with it, maann.

 

A beautiful cover of Grimes' Oblivion by Wilsen.

 

NEW CULTS !!!

 

I can't explain how much I love this Drake cover.

 

UHM. I couldn't look away.

Panic! At The Disco's new album is actually really good. And I'm not even 16!

throwback thursday: 1998

So since #throwbackthursday* is still a thing, I figured I would incorporate it into this blog. Because this is my blog and I can post whatever I feel like. Na na nana naaa.

And as I'm mostly posting songs on this blog, I figured I may as well add music to this mix, as well as a healthy dose of other popular things at the time and what I was doing with my life. No photos of myself because as I get older, my pictures get more terrifying**. No joke.

So without further ado, I give you...

My Imaginary Well-Dressed Toddler Daughter

this made me cry-laugh. and also made me wish that I was as stylish as these kids are.

When Quinoa wants volume, she doesn't just tease her hair, she relentlessly bullies it.

 Quinoa always keeps a spare "urban outfit" in my purse in the event we're going to be around a lot of chain link fencing.

Everything went fine at Quinoa's playdate with Booker until she realized that when he said he loved vinyl, he meant jackets not vintage records.

 When Quinoa needs to go to the bathroom, she really doesn't want to hear any more about Humboldt's designer Legos.

One time when Quinoa and I got separated in a busy train station, she thankfully remembered our safety training: stay in one place, look spectacular, and don't talk to poor people.
 

Mary had a little lamb, but Quinoa has a better little lamb. And better hair accessories. And more friends. Who's calling the shots now, huh, Mary?

Sometimes when Quinoa is particularly well-dressed, she begins to levitate.

 Know what really gets Quinoa down in the dumps? Pleather.

Quinoa loves her friend Hugo, but wishes that he didn't try quite so hard.

I sent Quinoa to a sleepover one night and she returned the next day wearing her pillowcase as a modern frock. Silly girl!

 When I asked Quinoa what was on the horizon, she stared at it and said, "Chambray."

I told Quinoa her shoes were like art, so she hung them on the wall.

Quinoa and her BFF Chevron were so excited to attend their first PETA rally. They worked on their coordinating outfits for weeks.

 Quinoa had no use for Hampton and Dolce once she realized they had just been using her for her lollipops.

When out in public with Quinoa, I can hear the sound of hipster ovaries swelling with want.

song of the month: may 2013

I watched The Great Gatsby yesterday. I wouldn't exactly call myself a fan of Baz Luhrmann BUT Romeo + Juliet is one of the few physical DVDs I own (and rewatch). That should count for something, right? I also really dig the soundtrack to this movie.


I thought it was amazing- the costumes, the acting, everything. Unlike most people on the internet, I LOVED the soundtrack. I was smiling throughout the film and the music definitely contributed to keeping my face looking like I'm on happy meds.

I've chosen Lana's Young & Beautiful (orchestral version) as song of the month. If you haven't watched the movie yet, please do so soon!

My heart is beating in a different way
Been gone such a long time and I feel the same
My heart is beating in a different way
Been gone such a long time

Will you miss me?
When there's nothing to see?
Tell me, how did this come to be?
And now there's no hope for you and me

My heart is beating in a different way
Been gone such a long time and I feel the same
My heart is beating in a different way
Been gone such a long time

Do you still believe?
In you and me?
Are we all we could be?
Is it meant to be?

My heart is beating in a different way
Been gone such a long time and I feel the same
My heart is beating in a different way
Been gone such a long time

My heart is beating in a different way
Been gone such a long time
