The vibe in the camp is fantastic at present, and we head off into the studio in January to continue on from the work we started last Summer .. I am so genuinely excited about what we’re doing, but for obvious reasons I can’t divulge anything more.. anyway we all love surprises don’t we? 10 years ago we were all collectively (that’s the band) in the land of Kid A .. and although hugely proud of that record, it wasn’t a fun place to be .. What’s reassuring now, is that we are most definitely a different band, which should therefore mean that the music is different too and that is the aim of the game….keep it moving.

- Ed O’Brien of Radiohead

Woooooo, at least their working, amirite?!

“When I shop, the world gets better, and the world is better, but then it’s not, and I need to do it again.” - Rebecca

I can honestly say, after my break-up, I shopped so I would feel better. When I went on unsuccessful dates I shopped, so I would feel better.

It never lasted for long…and I have the debt to prove it.

Hmmm…

Listen to music and continue to daydream about things I can’t have…

Or…

Watch Confessions of a Shopaholic…

Yeah, I’m gonna watch a movie. I hope all of you had a great weekend. I’m just looking forward to exchanging presents with the bff soon. <3

Take my hand and lead me up
To Dolores
And leave me out in the street, I guess
It was for us

What are you thinking of, Ashley?
Who are you dreaming of, Ashley?
You come down from above, Ashley

You let me sleep and let me breathe
Where I need to
And fool my heart to think that I
Might have had you

What are you thinking of, Ashley?
Who are you dreaming of, Ashley?
You come down from above, Ashley

Take this hammer-handed heart
And pull it off my back
Heavy on my shoulders
Stranded in the open sea
I wait there hoping that
You’ll come back to see me

Ashley…

So every once in awhile I get a huge hankerin’ [yes I said hankerin’] for a super sexy/romantic/lovey-dovey kind of an album.

Obviously I’m in the indie/hipster realm, but I can dig rap, good r&b, GOOD pop, some soulful stuff [think Jamie Lidell & Amy Wino], things of that nature.

Got any recommendations for me?

Where’s the fast forward button that I can repeatedly hit over and over?

The one that will take me directly to ~~Dec. 26th~~ Jan. 2nd.

I’m not going to feel bad for not getting into the holidays. I got to see my family, that’s all I really wanted.

The holidays lost their meaning this year. I hope I’ll regain some spirit next year.

Until then, fuck off holidays. I’m so sick of you.

I won’t lie, the worst thing about following the indie/hipster music movement is that you leave behind certain genre’s of music, because the vast majority of it just plain sucks.

I had no idea R&B could sound this fucking good.

Two tracks in and I know I’m going to play this out like no tomorrow.

I wish everything had an explanation. I wish I could understand everything. While life has been throwing me a lot of epiphanies it doesn’t mean that I’m not confused by everything around me.

We’re Both In Love With A Sexy Lady by The Flight Of The Conchords.

While some people are mourning the fact that the Flight of the Conchords aren’t going to continue their show, I prefer to just live in a beautiful state of denial.

In my mind, they might come back, when you’re least expecting it.

Why is it ok that you can spend less money on very fattening food [i.e. chips, soda, cookies, frozen meals], but it costs more to buy organic produce?! These are the questions that infuriate me.
You raise a good point about the affordability, and in turn accessibility, of good food. Healthful and affordable food is nearly nonexistent as is, without the added requests that it be fulfilling in some way. For poor folks, there usually must be a trade off, and it’s usually nutrition for fulfillment.

It’s true, I’m not really sure as to how to suggest this to people who are truly in a financial bind. I budget quite a bit of money for food, so transitioning over to healthier options for me, might be a bit stressful, but not as stressful for others. I need to research this topic even further, as I want to help everybody find a way to fight this problem that we face as Americans.

Excuse this, but I seriously need to have a longwinded post about this movie.

Lately I’ve been realizing I want to be healthy. It’s not about being skinny, it’s not about accepting my body the way it is. It’s about being healthy. I think our society and our media has it all wrong. While one group points the finger that says, look this way, be this skinny, and other group says, no way, I’m fine the way I am. What really confuses the FUCK out of me, is….why are we pointing fingers? When I was up to 251 lbs. I wasn’t blaming anyone. I didn’t like the way I felt. I wanted to change. I didn’t like the way I’d eat and eat and eat, only to feel disgustingly full afterwards, and to realize that I wasn’t eating because I was hungry. I was eating because I had severe emotional problems and while other people use drugs and alcohol to cope, food had always been my way of dealing with stress, depression and every other emotion.

I don’t understand why we aren’t all talking about being healthy. Why aren’t we talking about becoming a more active people. Why is it ok to go to our sedentary jobs, come home to our sedentary lives, and than wonder why the number on the scale goes up? Why we get all sorts of diseases that could have been prevented by a healthier lifestyle? Why is it ok that in our country the way we have grown to “develop” food is completely wrong. Why is it ok that you can spend less money on very fattening food [i.e. chips, soda, cookies, frozen meals], but it costs more to buy organic produce?! These are the questions that infuriate me.

I know for a fact that the way I eat is very much tied into my emotions. That being said, I believe you should watch this movie because while you may or not struggle with emotional eating, you should really be aware of what’s going on with our food. I’ve known about a lot of the issues that this film brought up, but for some reason, today, it really affected me much more. Maybe because I’ve pledged to eat healthier and live healthier recently. Maybe because my excuse of spending the least amount of money on food, isn’t that great of an excuse anymore.

Education is the first step of everything, I’m really starting to learn that. You can either turn a blind eye [which I did for a very long time] or you can learn things about yourself, about this country, and about your food, that you desperately need to know about. And I’ve always learned that once you really know something, once you’ve learned something, there is no turning back.

Change is inevitable.

It’s official, I have a type. Tall, skinny, blonde geeky guys. <3

I saw the cuuuutest guy at my favorite coffeeshop and he made eye contact with me as he left. Too bad yours truly gets petrified of cute guys and completely avoided making eye contact back and smiling. Like I was hoping to do.

Eh, I’ve seen him there before, so hopefully I’ll see him again.

P.s. he had really nice shoes, overall, nice style as well.

I slipped and fell on ice yesterday. Not my most proudest moment. It’s pretty awesome when you fall smack down on pavement and instead of thinking, oh gosh, I hope I’m alright, you think, fuck I can’t afford to go to the hospital, I hope I can get up and walk. <—-Seriously fucked up.

I thought I was getting off easy, just a bruise and some light soreness. Than I wake up this morning, like an old person, I’m soooo sore. My upper back is all messed up, my entire right arm [the one that broke the fall] is tense. Getting old is no fun.
