Good evening!

Finally, after wrestling endlessly with my computer, I have gotten a new one! So you can (hopefully) expect to hear from me more often :)

It is Thursday night and I am anxiously awaiting the weekend. This past weekend was a lovely 3 days, and I wish I could relive the peaceful time. It was beautifully rainy and cloudy and I enjoyed it so much! I spent my time writing, reading, taking photos of the sky, watching independent films, and playing my guitar. It was lovely! I hope to do something similar this weekend.

I was also able to order some used books from Amazon.com, which made me very happy :) I ordered these 4 books:

I must admit that I do enjoy reading children's books :) They often have the best and most whimsical stories! And that is what I love.

I hope you all have a wonderful night full of fanciful dreams!

Oh, Wednesday.

Yes, yes, tis only wednesday.

But I am very excited for Friday because I have tickets to go see one of my favorite bands, Circa Survive. It will be my third time seeing them :)

Music is wonderful. Don't you agree? What kind of music do you like? I feel like listing the music I have been listening to most lately.

Fleet Foxes
Good Old War
The Kenny Finn Band
Band of Horses
Regina Spektor

That's some reeeeaaally great stuff. Definitely take a listen.

A Beautiful Rainy Friday!

What could be better? :)

I could not be more pleased for a weekend than I am right now. I have had a very trying week, but it is time for me to move passed that. I plan to engulf myself in a Fleet Foxes cd while watching the rain. I adore the rain...

Do you all know of Etsy.com? Well, you should :) I've been looking through it a lot, and here are some things that have attracted my eyes...

From Meluseena's shop (http://www.etsy.com/shop.php?user_id=5619058)

From Art and Ghosts (http://www.etsy.com/shop.php?user_id=5032864)

From Sarah Ogren's shop (http://www.etsy.com/shop.php?user_id=86028)

Aren't they just lovely? You all should definitely take a look. Maybe buy something and support these wonderful artists?

I hope you all have a wonderful weekend. Do something for yourself. I'm thinking of an indie movie marathon, hours spent reading, lots of music listening, and perhaps a walk in the rain. I will not mention my loads of homework...that will just put a damper on my little speech... ;)

An Extremely Talented Artist. . . .

Wow, I have been gone for quite a long time! I'm really not quite sure why. . . .

Anyway,

an extremely talented artist, Lisa Falzon, is holding a "lottery". Check it out! And look at her beautiful and whimsical work! Her art fills my soul with happiness :)
Just visit her blog: http://lisa-falzon.blogspot.com/2009/01/giveaway.html

I hope everyone has a wonderful Friday!

The Lovely, BEAUTIFUL Summer!

It is finally summer vacation! Oh, how wonderful. I am of course loaded with tons of summer homework, but other than that, I'm thrilled!
I can't wait to fill my days with museums, books, movies, friends, walks in the cool summer evening, music, concerts like crazy! Wow. Summer. What a wonderful season.
I hope everyone is doing well?
