What's Ahead...

I realize I've not written anything new, but I've been quite busy. Graduate school is slowly sucking the life-force out of me. I'm serious. May (when I graduate)cannot come any sooner.

So here's what's ahead. I've got a monster week ahead of me, and Thursday I will be headed to NASHVILLE, TN to reunite with my best friends from college. I'm SURE that there will be some wardrobe stories to come from this trip...stay tuned.

Quick tidbit just to keep you entertained. I spent all of Saturday agonizing (in a robe of course) because Friday night I was at an awkward open bar wedding. I knew no one, and it was just awkward... in a nutshell. I won't say more because it might've been your wedding and I don't want to piss you off/hurt your feelings.

While attempting to re-hydrate my body and taking many snaps (see the definition of snap in the first tale from the hanger), I spent too much time on Itunes and made a magical playlist. I like to make playlists. Lots of them. I literally have one for certain moods, one for "rain", one for "studying", "getting ready", "workout", "road trip", "beerfest", and other moods/events that only very lucky people will come to know about. So here are some of the songs I downloaded. It was chilly, damp and kind of nasty yesterday (and anything too upbeat would have made my headache even worse).

Enjoy. You're welcome.

Vampire Weekend

Brett Dennen

Zero 7

Passion Pit

The Rescues (especially the song "Stay Over")

That's all folks. Stay tuned for some more wardrobe recounts. Hopefully none of you attended awkward weddings this weekend...it's not generally recommended.
