Belle and Sebastian review "Write about love"

When i went to see Belle and Sebastian in NYC September 30th, they opened up with their song from their new album, "write about love". The song is called "i didn't see it coming" and i love it! its so catchy and great, they came back with this album after a 5 year hiatus.

They also played alot of their older song, such as "like dylan in the movies"

and "piazza new york catcher" (and extended version which rocked) and others.

It was a greta show after great music, jokes, throwing autographed footballs to the kids in the crowd, inviting 5 people from the crowd to dance and clap on stage, and awarding them with medals, i couldn't of asked for anything better, hands down the best show i have ever been to in my life, not to mention we were at the Williamsburg water fron in Brooklyn, so you could see the WHOLE long NYC Manhattan skyline across the river, it was amazing

I also got a t shirt with this logo, the album cover. You can download or buy the album here:

i've gone orange

Decided to dye my hair a day ago, had to bleach it first to get this color, im glad it turned the way i hoped it would, thank you Lia for helping dye my hair :)

Im working on my costume this weekend, i got the materials, it wont be too hard, this costume required me to have orange hair, soo it works out perfectly.

Went thrifting today and found some goodies! will post them up later.

We are having wine tasting at work today, i don't really like wine, people tell me i have not developed a taste fr it yet, but i think i never will! it just doesnt taste good, but i guess i'll have some? haha, well, hope you all have a great thursday!

This is Voltron, the newest building in Charlotte, it changes colors, and even on monday, Voltron went GAY and turned rainbow colors for national coming out day! its the coolest building ever, always going different colors and such, i can see if from my window!

I almost cried when i saw the news, all the miners in Chile were rescued, what a flipping miracle.

Today and tomorrow are my busy days this week, ill eventually blog maybe notight or tomorrow, going to a wedding with Blaine in Columbia, South Carolina, maybe i'll find some neat things there.

latest craft project (Russian doll style monsters)

So i got these at a local thrift store 3 months ago, they were very cute!! specially the smallest one, but Blaine had another idea for them when we bought them.

They can come apart and you can put them all inside eachother. So i painted them all white.

Then i started painting on them to make them look like

Where the wild things are monsters!

i made the smallest one max, just drew his face with a paint marker.

So i finished them all

And they can even eat eachother....

got hit by a car today...

I live in the small city of Charlotte, and today i have come to the fact that seriously and truly people cannot drive! they suck.

I own a car, but i love to ride my bike everywhere, specially when places i frequent are short distances or even walking distance from my home (less then a mile from Downtown Charlotte)

For lunch today i decided i wanted soup so on my way to pick it up, in the intersecton of camden and park rd, i got hit by a white seddan, i tried to break but he was coming, it was a stop yield sign so i went. Next thing i know i was on the hood and my leg pined between my bike and his car, it sucked yea, but the guy was just as scared as i was he said he did not see me!!.. i was ok, helmet on, no damages.

A nice Nurse and some others got out of their cars to call the ambulance but i told them it was not necessary. Now im at home eating soup with a baby scratch and a giant bruise on my leg.

why cant we all be more bike friendly? gaah.

peapod story

The peaPod story

When me and my boyfriend Blaine started dating, i got him into liking

one of my favorite bands, PLUSHGUN, we made eachother cd's , and one of the Plushgun songs we love is "just impolite".

Our favorite lyrics of the song are "it just seems like we're two peas in this pod we call NewYork..." SO this is where this Peapod necklace comes into the story. For Christmas Blaine made me a silver Peapod necklace with pearls (representing us) and my birthstone in the middle.

It came out beautifully!! i loved it then and i love it now, the crazy thing is that i lost it once and i got it returned to me (long story)

He also gave me a promise ring for my birthday early this year, it has a matching stone :)

i love you!
