new things

I also bought these:




I decided to get the good stuff. You really can't skimp out on concealer and under-eye brightener I guess. Plus, M.A.C has the return 6 empty bottles (of anything) and get a free gift. With Benefit I can use my Sephora points to get stuff. So, it's really just a good deal. I love them. Well worth the price.

I want to be friends with Solange Knowles, she's crazy cool. And she's also friends with Ed from Grizzly Bear.

Favorite albums of the summer so far:

1. Stars -The Five Ghosts

Although I love it, it's not my favorite. Stars always seem to pick a theme for every album and I think that might have been hard to achieve with this one. Every theme always center around romanticism and is always a little bit dark. I just think there is a limit on how many diverse songs you can write about ghosts, death, etc. The songs are lovely, I just feel myself getting a little lost and not blown away by every song. Almost like they were running out of things to do. The last album's theme was about love and war (love is a war?) so there was a myriad of things to write about there. Overall, a good buy. Especially if you're a Stars fan.





2. Karen Elson -The Ghost Who Walks

I didn't even know this was Jack White's wife until a read up about her. Yes, she is lovely, but she is also talented. Southern style music has a way of calming me down and helping me just enjoy the moment I'm in. The twangy music is lightly offset by the melancholy and sometimes morbid lyrics. Thus, you get something not too light and not too heavy. The perfect mix.

I love having cool friends. This is Jose Burgos' blog entirely about "gank". It's silly and fabulous at the same time. Visit the blog, all will be explained.

firefly evening

I like watching fireflies flash me their SOS signals. Tonight the small patch of trees across from my house was glittering from the leaves to the soil. Some fireflies actually managed to come into my yard. You see a light in one spot, then a second later you see the light in another spot. It's almost like they're teleporting from one spot to the other. There is a fairly busy road through the trees and on the other side of my neighborhood's fence. The volume of trees is sparse enough that you can see the headlights of cars go by. Sometimes I wonder if the fireflies see the headlights and try to get to them. If I was a firefly I would probably think that the headlights were a giant and wondrous representation of my species. I imagine it's a little confusing. It's moments like this that I thank God for the surprise gift. A moment that in all honesty, I cannot truly explain the beauty and serenity of. I simply take it in and enjoy it. I always love surprise gifts.

adorable

blood red

Blood red bird
Fly me away
Sing me sweet notes
And hope that I’ll stay

Blood red day
Breathe me a whisper
Close my eyes without a care
So I don’t see a flicker

haha, this makes me laugh

"Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It is not rude, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always preserves."
-- 1 Corinthians 13:4-7
