it's kinda bizarre how returning to west palm beach for a weekend made anna maria feel more like home now that i'm back. i guess it was just one of those cementing moments that made me aware of living on my own. and by own i mean team island remains badass.
it's decorating/renovations/interior design obsession day! i've been scouring blogs for ideas and now i have a healthy sized list of projects along with a relatively organized room.
----hold on. ok, so there is this creepy white crown royal driving around the block, it's been doing it for like-- oh, ok, it's an undercover cop. sweet. i want to flash him.
anyways. i've been super hyped over stupid/materialistic things these past few days. it's how i keep my anger at the lack of rain and scorching heat at bay. musically i went back into my cd collection on the drive over and remembered how amazing 'goodbye yellow brick road' by elton john is. my favorite album is definitely 'honky chateau' but this one is a nice alternative. i need to get 'man across the water' like whoa. and yes, i went there and brought back that saying. i didn't feel like struggling with my ipod cord for most of the trip so i decided to listen to the latest kings of leon cd to try and listen in on the production as i just finished reading some long ass article all about what they did on the album - which explains why a lot of old fans from the US aren't so keen on it. john butler trio was my grand finale - along with some mr. a-z love and it set me up for a good mood at work.
sidenote for no one: one of the nicest guys at work - sean, one of the two chefs in the pit - found out yesterday his wife is pregnant again. this'll be his third one and i'm all giddy for him because i don't want kids but it's fun to live vicariously through it all. sans the stress, of course.
today i rediscovered ottmar leibert, this amazing guitarist that my parents would always play. i couldn't find the one song i loved the most but what i did download is amazing. then i got bon iver's latest album which is as amazing as i thought it would be. ashley thelma, lover love, i know you'll read this at some point; GET IT! i know you said you were listening to them lately. cause you have good music taste, pat on the back for you. i also snagged some more songs by low. 'always fade' and 'when i go deaf' are two songs i'll never get tired of so i figured i should learn their catalogue. so far so good. finally i topped it off with new dave matthews stuff - two songs that i had already heard but having them on the computer allow me to listen more closely and i'm really enjoying it so far. as mock-able as his voice is he's a talented asshole. and i love tragedy turning into inspiration and this album seems to be chock full of it.
i have my cameras now - cept there was a little hinderance with the transferring of photos and now i'm wary - and i'm going nuts. when people went to bed before me and i couldn't take random candids with great lighting anymore i just did a second collage on my closet. now i'm on my second watercolors painting and i've taken to burning candles. i love days off.
i need to go buy a day planner and hop on this organization train one hundred percent, but eric is swinging by and the air conditioning guy is coming back, too. so instead of being really productive i've been staring at my new stuff that i'm obsessed with. jesus sandals, mermaid dresses, moccasins OH MY!
except target.com isn't showing my moccasins as an existing shoe. fail.
robbie got the most badass glasses. they came in a baby sized box and i photowhored it up. as per.
