this weekend...

I took a real break from doing anything related to school. Hooray!

I read The Wednesday Wars by Gary D. Schmidt (recommended by E). I absolutely loved this book and thought the story encompasses who I am and who I want to be. So much to love. And by the end, I couldn't help but think Griffin House's, 'I Remember (It's Happening Again)' is the soundtrack to this book.

I went to the new shiny Apple store and I'll admit that somewhere, I saw hope in becoming a computer scientist.

I drove home listening to Bon Iver, Bon Iver in all glory while the mountains glowed as the sun was going down.

I read letters from Chardo and Corie, which made me really happy!

And...I was brave enough to share this little mini recording.

Memorial Day Weekend

Happy holiday! Over the weekend, my mom and I claimed this gorgeous peony. Now I want to adorn my head with a large peony headband. I got my baby, Martin 000X1, a new addition to the family. Every time I pick up my Martin, I can never put it down. I should really name my first acoustic/more-than-amazing guitar. My mom and I watched Sex and the City 2. I'm ignoring the critics. I don't care what they say because I loved it and laughed a lot. Brooke Fraser herself tweeted me. I mused over works of fiction by Lewis Carroll and C.S. Lewis. I visited my grandparents' grave. The cemetery is never a cheerful place, but there was a peaceful feeling over the blue sky and fields of flowers. Our family had brunch in a jaded green themed room, where I came across this emerald chandelier. There was a jazz band playing in a little corner and the setting comparatively made me feel like I was on an episode of Gossip Girls. I don't really watch that show, but I was Blair for a few hours, just having a fancy brunch in the city.
