party crasher
It's official. I crashed a birthday party...and not just any birthday party. A birthday party with great music. I happen to follow the lovely and wonderful Sam & Ruby on twitter, and I saw a tweet yesterday with the words free, dan mcguinness, party, show, and birthday in a completely different order. So I thought...lets check this out. Which is what a few of us did last night.
First up was Brooke Waggoner, who I must say I had never heard of until yesterday and totally dug. That's right...d.u.g. Anyone who plays the piano automatically gets some bonus points from me.
Next up and the reason we crashed, Sam and Ruby. They were as awesome as I remembered from their opener for Jake at the Belcourt. They also announced that they were releasing a new EP on Tuesday...whoopity whoop whoop.
My fave part of the night by far though was us talking about the first night we met Zach (the bday boy). What a crazy night that was. So crazy in fact...we couldn't even remember it. Good backup story, huh?

The Avett Bros are on Ace of Cakes tonight. Really? One of favorite shows and one of my favorite bands collaborate. That is amazing. You should watch it.
Lady and Her Uke
After karaoke at Lonnie's a couple of weekends ago, this song has been on repeat in my head. Enjoy.
4 Non Blondes - What's Up
best. valentine. ever.
I have a valentine, and he is three. My nephew printed out a valentine all by himself and when my sister asked him who he wanted to send it to he said...Bess. Melt my heart times 20 bazillion.

...not as much now as I did when there was studying to be avoided.
#105 Unpaid Internships
...fortunately, my internship was paid.
#104 Girls with Bangs
...if by like you mean jealous I can never have them since I always wear my hair curly...then yes. Apparently I wear my hair. Hmmm.
#103 Sweaters
...proud owner of tons upon tons. Unfortunately, none of the Dr. Huxtable style.
#102 Children’s Games as Adults
...don't get me started.
#101 Being Offended
...they called it right. I do get offended for others rather than myself most of the time.
28.5 out of 31? Sure.
puppy bowl...
...the other bowl game I look forward to on Super Bowl Sunday. For a good two minutes of aww-ing, click here for the starting line up, and don't forget about the kitty halftime show.
I am a spaniel girl so of course of love, love, LOVE Winston and his crazy ears.
My heart = melted.

Sips N Strokes made me feel like I was a professional artist. Apparently, they are instructed on how to paint as well. Seriously though, all day I've been mapping out my future painting endeavors.
Can I just add that our "funky vases" were totally funky, and we didn't follow the rules as far as colors go? FYI to Emily since I know you don't like to follow directions when painting.

mish mash
Just finished reading a few news articles on my break. Can I just say that I really enjoy the random ones? I mean the odd headlines really grab my attention. For example...
Article 1: A 9 year girl gave birth to a healthy baby boy. I'm pretty sure I was outside either jumping on the tramp or playing tennis in the street when I was that age. Craziness.
Article 2: Optical illusions. Love them which is probably why I enjoy MC Escher so much. Here were a couple of my faves in the article.
Focus on the center
Can I also mention the fact that I almost busted my butt like five times this weekend while wearing my boat shoes out in the snow? You heard me. They were the easiest waterproof shoes I had to put on...little did I know that I would basically be iceskating in them. Snow pictures!!!
