I'm a bad blogger

I'm so sorry that I've been M.I.A. these last couple of days. School, work and an internship have kept me super-duper busy. I miss blogging regularly and will resume as soon as things die down.

P.S. I've started my application to join the Peace Corps when I graduate in 2010....eek!

R.I.P. Lux Interior...

Lux Interior died Wednesday from a pre-existing heart condition. He was 60 years old. I'm so saddened by these news, he and Poison Ivy are two of my most favorite musicians. I can't recall how many times I've popped in a Cramps cd to get ready to go out on a weekend night, they are the one band that can get me pumped enough to go out even when I've resigned myself to a night of take-out and a movie. The Cramps are also the perfect soundtrack to an extra long road trip or even just a commute downtown.

My ex and I had planned a trip to Vegas to see The Cramps a couple of years ago but the trip never came to fruition. My ex had seen them live once but I never had the chance. Damn him, now not only can he dangle my broken heart in front of me, he can now rub in my face the fact that he saw Lux Interior live and I'll never get a chance.

Do any of you have any stories that involve listening to The Cramps? Let's reminisce and agree that America has just lost a great, great man.

Damn these brown eyes of mine...

So, this weekend my sister was in town from Seattle. We had a wonderful time and although we did manage to do some fun things such as drink at familiar bars, go bowling and go to a concert, we somehow ended up getting take-out and watching Gilmore Girls non-stop. I forgot how much I love that show and how much I miss it. I also forgot just how gorgeous Alexis Bledel is. It is a sin to have such beautiful eyes. I also forgot how much I relate to her character, Rory. The sweet, nice girl that nobody expects to do "bad" things such as dump the nice boy for the James Dean-rebel type or to sleep with her married ex-boyfriend. This post is for all the girls out there who can also relate to Rory, remember that life is too short to always make the sweet, nice girl choices. Sometimes, we have to live a little even if it means doing something out of character.

I love all of Laura Letinsky's photography encompassing food. It makes me yearn to live in a house overlooking a lake-any lake. I don't know why, maybe the colors?

In honor of bubble wrap appreciation day...

Top of the world...

I've been tagged by the always awesome Allison and the instructions are as follows:

* Go to the fourth folder on your computer where you keep your photographs.
* Choose the fourth picture.
* Explain it.
* Tag four other people.

The above picture was taken about 3 spring/summers ago on a camping trip in Michigan. I don't know if it's obvious, but my face is swollen because I had just had 2 of my wisdom teeth removed. This picture is making me yearn for spring/summer so much more than usual. We've had a rough winter, I believe I've had more than my fair share of snow and ice on the ground. Let's start shopping for swimsuits with Joanna!
