Watch her video for Dixon's Girl here.  It was filmed at Fort Snelling, weird.  Also, she is precisely why I want to buy read lipstick...now only if I had lips to go with it...

She reminds me of a spoken word performance Christian and I went to at Iowa State: Death From Below, it was pretty awesome. Vids: 1 2 3  (You can stop listening to #3 once they start singing....lame)

fyfe dangerfield...

...check him out.

I love the song, When You Walk in the Room, which is the one on the radio, but it seems like the rest of the cd should be pretty great. (The link is just the song, no video....I don't know about how he sounds live, maybe the two I found on YouTube were just bad recordings...)  I plan on getting the cd when I can afford its 17 dollarness...

he's cute too...

Mumford and Sons

 

Excellent CD.  I wasn't so sure at first, but after listening to it a few times there is really only one song I would have left out and that is Thistle and Weeds...meh, it is just alright.  Timshel, however is now one of my favorite songs.

I would also like to note that I just fought the emo urge to post some lyrics.....your welcome.

I love the Avett Brothers

"I wanna have friends that I can trust,
that love me for the man I’ve become not the man I was.
I wanna have friends that will let me be
all alone when being alone is all that I need.
I wanna fit in to the perfect space,
feel natural and safe in a volatile place."
 ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
 "If you’re loved by someone, you’re never rejected
Decide what to be and go be it

There was a dream and one day I could see it
Like a bird in a cage I broke in and demanded that somebody free it
And there was a kid with a head full of doubt
So I’ll scream til I die and the last of those bad thoughts are finally out"
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

"Load the car and write the note.
Grab your bag and grab your coat.
Tell the ones that need to know.
We are headed north.

One foot in and one foot back.
But it don't pay to live like that.
So I cut the ties and I jumped the track.
For never to return."

...empty

So I have finished all of the Sookie Stackhouse novels that are available to me and now I don't know what to do with myself...  (I even checked the libraries in the area and all copies of the 9th book are out)  I mean I guess I could start a different book, but what's the point if it doesn't include a dreamy vampire like Eric!

Cross the following off of my 'bucket list' (I hate that phrase):

My car ran out of gas on the way to work yesterday!  Thankfully I was on my way to the gas station, but my car just quite working about 100 feet away from the turn lane.  Something I didn't know...your power steering goes out if the car has no gas...it was definitely a struggle to pull the almost U turn I need to get into the parking lot.  I was able to coast most of the way, but fell short by about 15 feet and had to ask some guy to PUSH ME!  It was mortifying.  And of course I kept babbling like a fool, saying this has never happened to me blah blah blah.

About the only other thing new with me is that I started working at Costco for the holiday season.  I repeat it will only be for the HOLIDAY SEASON!  I will have a 'real' job after that if it kills me...wait, don't they cancel your student loans if you are no longer among the living?  Where is vampire Eric - whoops there I go again fantasizing that I am Sookie.

Also, my grace period is officially up and I have to start paying off my student loans at the end of the month. Ug

Random: did you know that the new standard in typing is to only put one space in between sentences...this could take some getting used to.

Also random:  I NEED to start working out again!  I have put it off because I haven't been able to find the pair of shoes - I am very particular about my running shoes and I haven't found a replacement for my beautiful New Balances yet.  I have bought and returned two pairs already.

Music:  Has everyone heard the new song by Pete Yorn and Scarlett Johansson?  It is great, although I don't like the begining much.  Stream The Current more if you haven't...

let the wild rumpus start!

Here is a link where you can hear the soundtrack to the movie "Where the Wild Things Are." Exciting.
