Getting My Life Together

And part of that is finding someone to go see First Aid Kit with me in October at the Fonda Theatre. People get it together and come with me. Jesus.

 


In other news, headed back to the Fig House to set up for Sophie :-).

She now has a puppy cold but hopefully will be recovered for her vaccines on Saturday. My little baby bear is just too sweet to have to battle these viruses. I'm thinking the shelter never vaccinated her like they said they did. Blah.

Highland Park Artwalk this weekend and I HAVE to go to a yoga class on Friday morning. Otherwise, I'll go mad.

I should probably do some work in there (4 jobs and counting), as well as finish a law review assignment for tomorrow and another for Sunday. Oh yeah and class. NBD. I'm making another pot of coffee after I play some "chase the pink porcupine" with Sophs.

Sunday {Music} - In F***ing LOVE

Last night, I went to Cha Cha Lounge in Silverlake, a sort of cantina, with Priyah (my Brentwood Barbie) and Veronica and friends. So many hipsters I almost died.

Anywho, since I met like a bajillion people who are in bands last night, I'm on a music kick, so enjoy.

YOGA TIME. Then dins with Katherine and preparing for my oral argument. Fun times.

Folk, blues, amazingness from Alabama Shakes:

fun beat with some angst = perfect.


a little like the black keys, hot bodies in motion is getting me in a summer mood.


you know I love my melancholy shiz and this song certainly satisfies. and hes attractive.


incredibly smooth folk and a NSFW vid. A mind-boggling combo, but it works:

Sunshinnnnnnneeee

Last night, Becky and I hit up Plan Check, a newish bar on Sawtelle, with my friend Priyah for an amazing dinner and cocktails. Priyah just got back from India and we had a lot of catching up to do. We tried the fries, beet salad, butter lettuce salad, and the portobello mushroom burger. PHENOM. And it was only made better by the experimental cocktails, including the Tropic Thunder made with jalapeno, another drink made with homemade soda, and mine which was made with rum, cointreau, and grenadine. In the words of Ina Garten, "How bad can that be?" Contemporary American comfort food was exactly what I was in the mood for and the environment was super upbeat. You def must check it out.

After dinner, we headed over to Alene's to pick up Aline, Alene, and Seda and headed over to The Misfit in Santa Monica for a couple of drinks with my girl, Veronica. Winners: the Bee's Knees (with lavender honey - obvs my fave ever) and the Bijous, which was sparkling with grapefruit and went straight to my head.

It was a casual night but it made me incredibly grateful for my friends. To have friends from all different times and parts of my life together and laughing and gelling is an amazing thing. Smart, snarky, and gorgeous, they inspire me everyday. I love those beezies.

So today, we're about to take the pups for a trailrun. My dad is making Greek food. I want to pick up a mini cupcake pan to bake some treats and I'm trudging through civpro. I got to talk to both Carrie and Rob this morning, which is always a pick-me-up ANDDDDD and I'm sifting through Coachella wardrobe options.

Despite a tough couple of weeks, I'm filled with gratitude.

lovelovelovelove from me to you

and a folk cover of one of my fave songs:

{Music} Indie-Folk: Bird Courage, Beach House, Alexi Murdoch

I've been all over the place. I'll update later, but I'm off to Bikram!

Here are some saving graces:

{Music} Cotton Jones

I'm STRESSED. So I'm taking a few days off this blog/two days to recenter and focus on my exams and the cute new French guy working at my neighborhood cafe. (Like, he is really cute.) And nursing my ankle, which I injured when I slipped off the curb on a rainy afternoon. But I didn't spill my latte - silver lining.

But I love this song. I love folk-y stuff. I love sunsets. I love lemonade out of mason jars, which I have never actually done but now want to after listening to this song, even though it doesn't mention that idea.

Yeah, so back to Freud, Foucault and Butler.

Sunday Morning {Music} McMorrow + Dubstep, Junip, Motopony

bluesy folk - yay
Motopony "King of Diamonds" (Demo) by tinyogre

Gorgeous and Jose Gonzalez is like best thing since sliced bread
Junip - In Every Direction (Dale Earnhardt Jr. Jr. Remix) by Mute UK

my two loves for right now: James Vincent McMorrow and dubstep
James Vincent McMorrow - We Don't Eat (Adventure Club Dubstep Remix) by Adventure Club Dubstep

{Music} He's My Brother She's My Sister

Legit brother-sister duo. If my brother and I could actually sing, I would want us to do something like this. Edward Sharpe + She & Him (I totally stole that comparison off Indie Shuffle, but they really got it right.)

And how amazing is:
a. the tap-dancing percussionist?
b. that adorable white dress?

It's weird that I'm getting so into this folky thing. I'm gonna buy some cowboy boots and a banjo now.

{Music} Yeasayer... I just fell in love

omg such a good cover... a great song with the folky sound i've recently fallen for. lovesit.
