Wow!

So a lot has happened since I last posted. School is well under way, stressful but rewarding at the same time. I got some awesome bookshelves for my room (thank you Ikea, and for Grandma & Aunt Fran for going through all of the trouble to bring them back for me)! I'm going to Europe for Spring Break. I got voted as a member of the local Friends of the Library Board, yay! I went to go see Wicked and it was AMAZING, beforehand we went to the cheesecake factory and it was sooo yummy (but way too big portions) And tons of other stuff that I can't remember right now. I'm starting to remember how much I like classical music, it is so nice to listen to when you just want to relax. It's just so delicate and beautiful. I also saw a movie called Bright Star, about the poet John Keats. It was an astoundingly wonderful movie, it makes me sad that not a lot of people got to see the movie because it wasn't at a lot of big theaters. Thankfully we have a great local theater that shows movies that wouldn't otherwise be seen my most. So hopefully that is a sufficient enough rant. I will try to post pictures of recent activities if I can, but I'm not exactly sure where the cord for my camera is...we'll see what happens. :)

NPR

It's been a pretty busy week what with school starting back up and everything. But the one constant thing this week has been listening to npr, morning, noon, and night. I love it! You get to learn about things you never would have even thought about, and during World Cafe I always find out about new musicians that are amazing! The other night a band called Camera Obscura was on world cafe...they are fantastic. I'm not quite sure how to explain their kind of music, but the sound is very unique and wonderful! :)

Here is the link to their session on World Cafe, Enjoy!

Song of the Day!

I love Regina Spektor, so needless to say when I heard that she was coming out with a new album, I was ecstatic. It came out June 23rd of this year, and is called "Far". It is a great album, though a little more "radio friendly" or "mainstream" than some of her other ones. So, to get to the point, my song of the day today is "Eet" by Regina Spektor off of her newest album "Far" Enjoy! :)

Song of the Day!

I've always been a big Norah Jones fan, and this is probably my favorite of all of her songs.

Song of the Day

I was listening to pandora.com today and a song by Ingrid Michaelson called "You And I" came on. I love it! So I decided that I would try to post a song of the day every day on here. So hopefully you will enjoy my song of the day! :)

At Last!

Okay, so after not posting anything for practically a whole year, I'm finally back! And I'm going to try a lot better on keeping everyone up to date on my life more often. So, today was such a beautiful day in Fort Collins, CO that I decided to take some pictures of all of the flowers growing in the yard. I also took some pictures of Jena, Ewan, and Honor. Enjoy!

Leadville!

A couple of days ago we all went up to Leadville to see where Jena is moving in January. Apparently Leadville is the highest elevation city in the U.S.! Crazy! It was really cold, my feet were completely frozen. But, it had some really cool antique stores, and a really yummy cafe place with great cinnamon rolls. I took some pictures, but most (if not all) are taken from inside of the car. (It got too cold outside to walk, so we rode around in the car for a while). I'm not sure how to get the pictures on right now, but I'll figure it out later.
