sometimes

[paris, 2009]

Sometimes I think it would be nice to have long hair again.

Sometimes I think it would be nice to still live in Paris.

Sometimes I think it would be nice to not spend my entire paycheck on rent and groceries.

Sometimes I think it would be nice to have intelligent professors.

Sometimes I think it would be nice to not work in a cupcakery, surrounded by temptation and patrons who all ask the same questions. Over and over and over again.

Sometimes I think it would be nice to make friends easily.

Sometimes I think it would be nice to not have to depend on undependable public transportation.




But then, I think, I'm in a good place right now. I'm doing something different. I'm doing something for me. And that's nice too.

So it might be challenging and frustrating and ridiculous at times, but that's life, isn't it?

I want these. But I don't need these.

so I don't know if you've seen these prints by this guy Mico. They're pretty awesome. I want some. I found them here.

what you've missed

A lot of work at the cupcake place.

A lot of school.


And then a few fun things in between.


Like weddings.




deanna. she was stunning.


carrie. such an adorable bride.


kimmy. jess. me. we like to dance.


And baseball games.


giants vs. dodgers


And Goodwill finds.


an awesome old suitcase.


And friends visiting.


kristina. me. brittany. danielle.


And roomie cocktail parties.


my lovely roomies.


And perpetually waiting for the bus.


not a fan.






Oh and my first kiss.
It was nice.

music for, like... the whole month of September...

my bad.

I'm sitting here waiting for the most agonizing class ever to start so I opened up my computer and headed to La Blogotheque. To find... they had just posted a video of the Morning Benders! Have you heard of them?

In the fall of 2008 they were my go-to album for the long drives to school. Not gonna lie, they're pretty fun to sing along to. And fun to run to. And fun to do lots of things to.

So here you have it, a much delayed music for your Monday post. On a Tuesday. In October. Because I'm lame and haven't had anytime for my blog friends, who I've missed. A lot.



p.s. I'm listening to it through my headphones as I type this. So I don't even know for sure if it's good all the way through, but then, how could it be bad?

Right? Right.

p.p.s. Holy crap it's over half an hour long. Wish class wasn't starting right now. Enjoy it for me!
