i'm really into classical music

I recently went through a phase when I didn't want to listen to music in the car. Driving became my time to process everything I was thinking about and I needed the silence. Since then, the radio almost always seems loud to me, too much for my ears and brain to take in. So I started listening to classical music (91.5 in the LA area, check it out). I love it! Very relaxing and interesting to listen to. I highly recommend it!

hazelnut creamer.

For the past week or so, I have been drinking coffee in the morning. I decided I like the ritual of having my morning coffee. Also, I've been drinking decaf because as much as I love hazelnut creamer (and believe me, I do love it), I do not want a caffeine addiction. So now I feel a little more like a grown up when I leave for work with my travel mug filled with coffee.

i wanna get lost in new york city...

also, john williams is a musical genius... of course. and i love harry potter. 

leaf blower

august? AUGUST!? wow, time is not holding back. it refuses to slow down, and i am having trouble keeping up.

this morning i left my apartment in a bit of a hurry (well, that's actually a huge understatement). my hair was wet, as it often is when i leave, but considering i had literally just stepped out of the shower less than 10 minutes before, it was more wet than usual. i saw a worker from my apartment complex blowing dead leaves out of the parking lot, and thought to myself, 'i wonder what it would be like if he blew my hair dry with his leaf blower.' needless to say, i did not ask to find out... but i did have a little chuckle with myself.

a few things

here are a few pictures from the last couple months!

luke and me before he ran off to get married (to the amazing jessica hughes!!) and had to cut his hair. look at that fro!!! i recently went to visit two friends up north in santa maria. we went up to san luis obispo and saw this entire wall/alley way of gum! i had to do my part and add some ;)

cubs game!! woo. i don't love baseball, but if i were going to cheer for a team hard core, it would be the cubs! also, nicah (middle) and i might start a radio show where we comment on baseball games by talking about experiences in our life relating to baseball, or why we don't understand something. i think we would be quite entertaining :)

my painting

a while back i talked about a painting class i was taking. well....here are the results. my first painting ever!! i'm no professional artist, but i am very proud!!

white cars...

i didn't realize that it has been a month since i last updated! wow!

i've been thinking lately how much of a bias i have against white cars. there is just something about them that rubs me the wrong way. and i definitely stereo type the people who drive white cars...sorry if you have one! i don't know what it is, but man white cars make me think of a woman in her 40s, a big time movie executive who thinks she is just the best thing since sliced bread. say her name is....kelly?

i just don't like white cars. i'm crazy.
