is this the end or just the start?

Sometimes, something feels too right to give up on. Maybe I'm a hopeless romantic. Or maybe some things really are meant to be.

and while you've got us on the ropes we plan to play the mess around

Today my boss told me to make some spreadsheets.

And I was secretly annoyed that I had to do actual work.

Then I realized I needed to gain some perspective. Haha.

words are flowing out like endless rain into a paper cup

This may be my proudest moment ever. I played that word AFTER the word vexed was played. 29 points!

Staggering through premonitions of my death

As the new school year draws closer (1 week until I move! 3 weeks until my roommate returns to the district! 4 weeks until classes start!) things are getting crazy! I spent most of this past week working on the selection committee for the leadership program I'm in and I'm so glad the selection process is finished!

To celebrate, I'm coming out of hiding to bring you this BRILLIANT cover of Fleet Foxes' Tiger Mountain Peasant Song by First Aid Kit.

I can't wait to get home today because these beauties are waiting for me at the front desk!!

Annnnnnnnnndddddddd MY TURNTABLE IS ON IT'S WAY!! I'M SO EXCITED!

Bring the jamzzz!!

NOTE TO SELF

Tracy:

Next time you meet a cute congressional intern do not embarrass yourself by fangirling the congressman he works for.

Me: OMG I LOVE HIM!!!
Me: OMG HAVE YOU MET HIM????
Me: OMG HIS WIFE IS SO HOT!!!
Me: OMGOMGOMGOMG.

Bikram Yoga

So a friend of mine from work talked me into trying Bikram Yoga. Basically it's a series of 26 poses that you run through twice in 90 minutes. Doesn't seem too crazy right? Oh, I forgot to mention that you do it in a room heated to 105 degrees with 50% humidity.

My mom has a friend that SWEARS by Bikram Yoga. So when Jen suggested it I agreed to give it a try. We went today and it was probably the most intense thing I've ever experienced in my life. I really thought it was going to kill me, but when we finished I felt really really good.

It was definitely a challenge but we're going back tomorrow and I'm really excited!

Color My Life

So I've had an influx of visitors to my blog today. Like way more than usual. And most of them found me by Googling "color my life with the chaos of trouble." This is my FAVORITE song lyric from my FAVORITE SONG by my FAVORITE band. It's from the song "Boy with the Arab Strap" by Belle & Sebastian and I think a ton of people are Googling it because in the new movie 500 Days of Summer, Summer uses this line as her quote in her senior yearbook.

Though I haven't seen the movie I know that there are a ton of indie music references in it like this one. It's one of the reasons I'm so excited to see it!
