Last night, Evan, Jackie and I hit the Satellite and heard the following amazing music by Chief, Warships (my fave of the night), and the Last Internationale. This has now distracted me from all work and school related endeavors, because all I really want to do is listen to music on a sunshine-y porch, while drinking homemade lemonade out of a jar. Instead, I'll read for marital property and print out a crim pro outline. :-) I do have the Cave Singers, Mumford and Fleetwood coming up so yayayyayyayay. Hope you have an excellent day! xx
Other songs keeping me going:
New from The National:
Tourism - Float Away: getting into my indie pop shit again and this sounds like the Kooks
Dead Owls - Only Child: Great beat, rock and pop and folk and attractive vocals.
Mayer Hawthorne - Designer Drug: he can do no wrong.
Wildlife - Born to Ruin: powerful
Updates:
- I think I maybe might have possibly found a place - keep sending me good vibes :-)
- I worked out with a personal trainer yesterday. I can't move. It takes me like twenty minutes to raise my left arm.
- I love work :-)
I LOVE THE NATIONAL. It's an obsession similar to Paula Deen's obsession with butter. In addition, I'm not a huge fan of Julia Stone (yeah, shoot me, don't care, whatever) and Oh Land is a hit or miss for me. And then they covered The National. (Julia Stone, like yesterday; Oh Land, last summer). So I wanted to dislike them both for corrupting perfection. But then I listened and these covers of Bloodbuzz Ohio are growing on me. Unfortunately. Thoughts?
Feeling a little overwhelmed with how much I have to review. So much. But I've been doing the studying in shorter blocks and breaking it up with the gym, reading fun stuff, catching up on Law and Order and a nice dinner now and then. Yesterday, Alina and I went to Morito, a Spanish tapas bar I've been wanting to try. We order six tapas, including baby squid, aubergine/lamb, chorizo, asparagus, cod croquets, prawns with chili aioli with a Spanish tempranillo. And we finished off with a pomegranate cava for me and affogato for Alina. It was a nice end to a day of studying and the gym, but annoying to think that I just had to get up and do MORE studying. On the bright side, the chefs/waiters were hot. I like how that was the high point of my day. I suppose it's also the idea that after finals, London is over for me, which saddens me and the fact that this whole new life is waiting for me when I get back to CA that I am excited to get started. Just about six weeks left to memorize/theorize everything about gender, development, social policy, and health care - yay...
Heading to H&M for a study break, then doing a review of Sen's capabilities framework and maybe a move tonight xx
Sipping on some hazelnut cream coffee, blogging and pretending to work on papers before my bro-bro arrives. Went on a jog this morning (I use the term jog loosely - I'm so congested from allergies, my lungs may give out.) Can someone write my papers for me so I can enjoy CA sunshine?
In other news, The National released a new song. I've played it 15 times... in the last hour. Cool beans.
