A Little Early
for a Christmas wish list, but if there are Christmas lights out in Paris, it's good enough for me.
- an oversized, big, comfy, man sweater to sleep in during the winter (example)
- anything in blue, but i prefer deep navy or royal blues (example, example, example, example)
- black or grey with detail (example, example, example, example)
- black purse (example)
- boots (example, example)
- books (example, example, example, example, example, example)
- chocolate

My Playlist
My current playlist is basically my wedding playlist. So what if i'm compiling it without a fiance!? I 'm just reducing future stress.
Here are a couple of songs that i forgot about, but absolutely ADORE:
- Herman Dune: i wish that i could see you soon
- David Grey: this year's love
- John Martyn: may you never
- Bob Dylan: if not for you (slow version)
- Billy Bragg and Wilco: hesitating beauty
- Willie Nelson: all of me
- Katy Wolf: give yourself to love

Bone Deep

Have you guys watched Bones? Are you currently watching it? I am, and I LOVE it. They finally have a show out with a strong, smart, and independent female who isn't over-the-top and, well, witchy- Dr. Temperance Brennen. The way she gets away with it, is she's a science nerd, and well, endearing. She really grows on you. FBI Agent Booth, her partner in solving crime, is a great "all american" boy who is just great.
When I watched this past weeks episode, "The Dwarf in the Dirt," and it made me very happy. I smiled the rest of the day.
(I'm trying to upload my photos from Remembrance day, but my iPhoto is being STUPID. Sorry. If you want to see photos from my Chartres trip, look on my flickr page.)

Would've, Should've, Could've
So, we did this photo essay for photography class... and I wish i chose a different photo. What do you think?
the one i chose:
why i don't like this picture: too symmetrical and too busy. maybe if it were just the three people in the foreground, i would've liked it a whole lot more.... just too many people for me.
here are a few that i wish i chose:




what do you guys think? did i make the right choice? i guess we'll see when i get my grade... dang it.

Chocolate and Canals
Just returned from an amazing two day holiday in Brussels and Amsterdam.
In Brussels, I ate a bunch of frites (Belgium Fries), waffles and chocolate. I feel so sick, but a good type of sick where I know I'm sick because I love what I'm eating. Fritz was in heaven. Everything was so photogenic!





Amsterdam was my favorite. I was surpirsed that we weren't being harassed or leered at by stoned perverts. That was a great surprise. It felt cozy. Calm. Autumnal. Comfortable. Plus, EVERYTHING in Amsterdam was beautiful, including the men.



Two drawbacks: we weren't in Amsterdam long enough and it was rainy.
Note to future husband: one day, we will go to Amsterdam, stay there for a few days before renting a car and touring Holland.

Replacements
Alright, if you've talked with me, you know i'm a little disappointed with how the Office is development. So, i've been looking for a show that can make me just as happy as the Office.
I've come up with a few options:
A: Better Off Ted
B: How I Met Your Mother
But the one that I love more than even those two is COMMUNITY! It has the Russo brothers as its directors; if you like Arrested Development you will recognize them as directors from that great show, as well. Oh, did I mention it has Chevy Chase? Or Joel McHale (the host from the soup)? Oh, well, it does.
Here's the preview by NBC:
Here's a fanmade video to wet your appetite:
And here's a clip that always makes me laugh:
And honestly, WATCH THE SHOW! You won't regret it.
