Favorite Song

Before I left on my trip, I'd decided that The Dixie Chicks' "Long Way Around" would be my theme song.  But I fell in love with "Map Song" by The Super Saturated Sugar Strings, and I'm blogging about it because everyone should download it RIGHT NOW.

The band is from Alaska. My friend recommended them to me, and his sister sings on a few of the tracks.  They're a pretty new band; their album just came out in May.  But I am head over heels for this song.  I listened to it almost every night on my trip before I went to bed.  The words are so sweet and romantic, and I love the harmonies.  It makes me smile every time, especially the part where they say "but you by my side is like a big shot of Vitamin D."  I don't know why; it's just adorable.

It's so new that there isn't a video on YouTube I can share.  But if you go to The Super Saturated Sugar Strings' website, they have their music playing.  I like their other stuff, too; the guy's voice is unique, and it has a folksy sound to it.  But "Map Song" is the best!  Seriously, download it right now!

Why I Love Bust Magazine (and you should, too)

Since I am finally done with Practicum I and only have one project left to finish for my Reading and Language Theory class, I decided to spend the evening relaxing with the latest issue of my favorite magazine, Bust . In this issue, I read about: Fat women on reality shows A new version of roller derby called Derby Lite A global O that will be occurring on December 21-22 Recipes for finger foods to serve at holiday parties How to make your own yarn Asheville, NC (now I want to move there even more...) Amy Poehler's views on feminism Divorce ranches in Nevada from the 1930's through the 1960's (it used to be really hard to get a divorce, and Nevada had laws that made it super easy) Homemade Christmas gift ideas A guide to "handling some of life's major milestones- marriage, childbirth, and death- with a DIY frame of mind" The monthly "One-handed read" column And of course, there are the fashion and beauty sections. Also, book, movie, and music revie

I got a little out of control...

I started my end of the year celebration a day early with margaritas at Lalo's. Unfortunately, since I don't drink very often, they affected me pretty quickly. I knocked my fork onto the sidewalk. Nancy (with her 80's hair) pretended not to know me. Nina gave me this look. Good times, good times. 40 more minutes of school, and then I am FREE!!!!!

Fall!

Okay, I’ll admit it.  I’m excited for fall.  I LOVE fall.  Things I’m looking forward to: Sweaters and hoodies Cinnamon candles  Leaves crunching under your feet Carving pumpkins and toasting the seeds (that I will give as gifts because I don’t actually like them) Going to the apple orchard with my mom… apple donuts and apple ciders slushees… Scary movies Watching my Charlie Brown DVDs Starting school!  I swear, September always flies by in an adrenaline-filled haze… The smell of burning leaves Football!!! Making apple pie (that will most likely be given as a gift because I’ll be dieting) Fall crafts (I think this year I want to attempt a wreath) Hot apple cider My one and only complaint about fall is that it means winter is coming…
