the wombats - let's dance to joy division



recommended by Paul McCartney

please?


Summer's here and summer's been here since I've finished finals two or three weeks ago, but now I'm back on campus, "indulging" myself in summer classes here at this dear old university ... cough. Obviously this isn't going to keep me from having fun, going to Cedar point, wandering around Chicago and frequenting the beach; it just means that I have class every day from 10 to noon, with tests at 8:30 on Fridays, and lab every Monday and Wednesday from 2 to 5PM plus reading and homework, which sounds like a ton but it actually isn't compared to what I deal with during the actual school year. And dare I say, I'm actually enjoy going to class. Maybe it also helps that afterwards, I have a whole double to myself to go back to, which is a lot cozier compared to sharing the same sized double with two other people two years not-in-a-row (Frosh and Junior years).

In other life related news:
- Jon & Kate plus 8 is my new favorite family; I even think they're better than the all mighty Jolie-Pitts, which might change once those twins are popped (i almost typed pooped) out, but in the mean time, I'm in love with the Gosselin kids and would love to run into them.

- Watched the season finale of Lost and was very confused, but I'm still not going to waste my time and watch all of seasons 2-4 to figure out what happened. I'll probably just wikipedia it instead. In other finale news, I can't believe I missed Ugly Betty!

- Treated myself to Sephora and sandals! Which I will probably post more about later. However, I'm without camera since my PIC has it in China, of all places, so actual pictures of anything will probably have to wait until August.

- Speaking of sandals, blisters ... ouch!

- Speaking of posting later, Philosophy's Help Me is on its way, even though it's been ... three weeks?

- King Sized snickers are my weakness along with sample sales ... and sephora and sandals. All start with 's'. Coincidence?

Dear Santa ...


It would be pretty sweet if Christmas happened twice a year (winter and summer) or even every month, but alas it doesn't so I'm stuck to making wishlists and hoping that they eventually get picked up either by my dear family and friends or by my own pockets ... or the very last option, which is a combo of the previous two and which I usually resort to, by my own hands using my parents money. Sometimes, a girl just has to buy herself presents.

And I've been obsessing over a few, and it's been hard to keep it at a few, items recently, which I think would be perfect for this upcoming summer whether it be running around town, going out or staying in for a lazy Sunday. Hopefully by the end of this month or at the beginning of the next, I'll be able to get a few of these out of the way so I can make room for newer wants and obsessions.

Ooh, how it gets so unhealthy.

The Shins - Caring is Creepy (covers)


I don't know why it's taken me this long to get on The Shin's bandwagon, even when everyone around me seemed to be gushing about them, but after years and years of having them in my iTunes library, and only having listened to a few of there songs here and there, today is the day when I will begin to gush about them. And gushing I will do starting with Caring is Creepy, which is beyond amazing.



and some covers ...

FOTC - Ladies of the World

oh hai



AI! So the internets stopped working yesterday, or more like the router decided to break leaving me without wireless thus with no internets. It sort of reminded me of the South Park episode when that happened, though less dramatic and I didn't have to move West to search for it. And I just realized that you (or at least I) can relate anything to a South Park episode, which is kind of sad or maybe just brilliant. Anyway, but everything is up and running, hooray! And I'm just crossing my fingers that my bad luck with routers is finally over ... I probably just jinxed myself.

In other life related news:

- went to the eye doctor and was told that my eyes are irritated, but not infected, so a few days without wearing contacts should clear up this whole irritation business unless my eyes get irritated again which means ... that yes ... they are indeed infected. So much for investing in circle lenses right now ...

- honey wheat rolls are probably the best thing ever

- i'm still obsessing over that gif of James Franco, seriously where do people find these things?

- speaking of obsessions, lolcats?

- countdown to returning back to campus ... oh joy

- & stressing over MCATs still hasn't kicked it, but when it does, I'll be ready with some yoga classes (hopefully)

- now to finally learn how to sew ...
