everyday is day one

this weekend was: catching up on National Geographics, Glee, and loving the New Normal because it’s got Riley from National Treasure and because it’s about feelings; exploring new neighborhoods in the hopes of finding a new apartment; the most delicious sandwich I’ve ever had, and new Pink, DMB, Matchbox Twenty, and a surprising album from Jon McLaughlin; swapping clothes with friends; birthday parties, goodbye parties, and intense games of shuffleboard; more apartments tucked in the hills, coffee and a celebrity, bagels, and the Los Angeles Opera, the Two Foscari, and fancy dresses in ninety degree heat; delicious sandwiches from Grub, and politics, and the Master and everything that Joaquin and Amy and Philip have to teach us; Mario and blogging, and staying up past my bedtime.


 

she’s an uptown, get-around anything goes girl.

5gts, Matchbox Twenty new-album style.

1. North comes out on September 4. Pre-ordered.

2. Pie contest plans in the works. Lemon-chocolate pie, here I come.

3. Fed 80 homeless men and women last night at a dinner sponsored by work. My job is pretty awesome, and partnering with PATH was cool, too. We planned the menu, cooked, and served, and it was a great feeling to know that we were helping!

4. 5k on Saturday morning. Practice 5k two minutes faster than my previous 5k. Here’s to bigger, better races.

5. Beach Day on Monday. Summer may be coming to a close, but we’re not going down without a fight.

Baby I’d give you my world…

So last week when I was hanging with B (more about that later) and celebrating my new job at Amoeba, I stumbled upon the best.cd.in.existence.

Guys. If you know anything about me you know that I love 90s bands. And Fleetwood Mac is a new addition to the loves of my lives. So when I looked at this track list, I nearly fell over. FELL OVER. In AMOEBA. I’m not even joking.

Song List? Artists?

Second Hand News/Tonic
Dreams/Corrs
Never Going Back Again/Matchbox Twenty
Don’t Stop/Elton John
Go Your Own Way/Cranberries
Songbird/Duncan Sheik
The Chain/Shawn Colvin
You Make Loving Fun/Jewel
I Don’t Want to Know/Goo Goo Dolls
Oh Daddy/Tallulah
Gold Dust Woman/Sister Hazel

Can you seriously look at that and say it wasn’t made for me? All I’m saying is that it was the best two dollar find a girl good ask for as a celebration CD.

And I don’t want to know (the reasons why our love keeps…)
