Riding the soundtracks

 

 I watched Frances Ha today, and I must say I quite enjoyed it. I can always dig a good soundtrack. Here are my favorites

THIS IS GROUND CONTROL

Here in Seattle its been in the twenties and thirties all week. We've got the christmas tree up, I'm cuddled next to the fireplace with a steaming mug of peppermint tea on the coffee table and Gene Autry is on the loud speaker. Its all good. Seems today marks the day we have officially entered holiday season. From here on out its elves, cookies, and The Holiday, naturally. My sister Karin is also flying in tonight from Los Angeles wuhuu

to the dark side

Weather in the nineties touched me with its the bronzing/burning powers this weekend while I was upstate. Im about 830458 x darker than I was on Thursday. 

I'm convinced the bandeau I was wearing on the lake will be staying with me for a while.

Cyril Hahn metro block

If you are going onto the metro, and want to block out everything else going on around you- the guy standing too close to you, the woman yelling at her child, the strange I-dont-know-what in the corner  -this is a good song.

Musically Blending

For the rainy summer's day, here are some tunes. The first two are sort of mashups, both featuring songs I adore.


The first, contains the original Heartbeats, by The Knife. Not anything recent, but still awesome nevertheless. 

Maskrosbarn's mix is over a loop from Crash Test Dummies 1993 single Mmm Mmm Mmm, which was the soundtrack to my childhood car rides. 

Wandering Star, by Polica is here, because, the previous song flows way too perfectly into it, at around 3:08 Näääk basically becomes Wandering Star, in a good way.

 Bound by wild Desire
 I fell into a ring of fire"

That Dirty Pola

 

This was a funny night. City adventures (good adventures) 

I heard a good quote yesterday. It goes a little something like this.

"A day without laughter, is a day wasted"

I am a supporter of this. Good Vibes all the way.

This City

Its been a good weekend, balanced out between friends and work. Last night was a relaxed evening spent with friends Asya, Mykal, and Steph. 

There were two things that made my head hurt yesterday. First off: laughing so hard as we all sat around the table doing our best impressions of Marilyn Monroe, Vietnamese nail lady, cookie monster, and our plastic surgery face:

"Dr. Dorfman? My jaw line needs rechiseling."

just to name a few. Secondly: It makes me dizzy to wrap my head around the fact that I am in school this summer. Its a bizarre feeling; it definitely feels like summer outside, but I don't have that care free summer feeling that usually goes along with it. Its for a good reason though, right? I hope so, because some vacation time sounds so nice right now. What I'd do to escape to the sands of, well.. anywhere.  

This has been on loop. Pretty sure I got it from my music lady Bry

A Good Thursday Ending

I had my first exam today in official PA school. Im currently rewarding my brain with some relaxing time. Portlandia is always the cure. Some Mac'n Cheese sounds pretty good right now.

On the Road to P- Town

Tomorrow morning I'll be leaving for a weekend trip down to Portland. It'll be nice to get on the road and get back to the city- its been a while since my last visit. I wish my Portlandian, Bry could be there at the same time!Ive been in Seattle for a week now, and its been lovely to be back with family, good food, and those west coast vibes. Look out for a post all about the foodsies I've been noshing on here at home. I just made Blondies, if that can paint a picture for you. Don't even look at me like that... I have to take advantage of having a kitchen while I can! Only a week left of home, then I am back to new york. This week actually hasn't even been total relaxation; I've had to study. I am given a two week 'summer break', and during that time, I must learn an entire textbook. PA School, Y U No give me break?!

As for music news, I almost forgot about Stromae. Then, I saw this. Always keeping things interesting, he is. I adore his videos.
