i've been listening to a lot of australian singer/song writer lisa mitchell. she is just so darling and fun. i want to be her friend.
this video of her doing a cover of the killer's "romeo and juliet" is so lovely. plus, i love the room she's in. i, too, want my house filled with portraits in oil.
check out my sidebar for my summer playlist. it has songs from scouting for girls, lisa mitchell, she & him, and i will be adding more stuff as summer progresses.
i love this show, especially this past season. it was so amazing. it finished last night, but it finished in with a glorious bang. well done hugh laurie and team.
the other day, i was leafing through my friend's book on the cosmos. it was incredible. i really like stars, and planets and out of world objects. just look at that image. isn't it amazing! to think that we are literally specks in vasts of other specks and darkness. it really makes me feel humble and little. but in a beautiful sort of way.
"stole my heart" . little and ashley
"I love you, don't you see
You stole my heart in 1-2-3
I love you, yes it's true
You stole my heart and
I'm going to steal yours, too"
i should be doing homework. but i'm not going to. instead, i'm going to do this instead. yes, i'm going to compile a list of this i am currently liking. this painting. these wedding dresses... most of them (not the mermaid tail or the second one) these rings. they'd make darling engagement rings. this wedding. this quote. this quote. this quote. this girl's clothing. these illustrations. these photos. these photos. this music video. these clothes. this candy. this pottery. this girl.
bad news: my sister left for london today. good news: she left me her car. bad news: it's manual, and i just learned how to drive stick. good news: i drove the car from SLC airport to Provo without stalling.
i guess when push comes to shove, this is really neutral news.
i am really liking these images by erwin olaf. "yum" might not be the best way to describe them. the collection is called "grief." i really like it. i think the images have a simplicity. i love the lighting and the composition of the shots. i also really like the story told in each shot. like in the first one, there is a definite narrative.
i spotted these images here. i looked at more of his work here. i quite like him, espcially his rain, hope, and seperation. but be careful if you chose to browse the rest of his collections. they do contain nudity.
my roommate and bff from minnesota, katie, and i are twins... two years apart. but we had a half birthday party last friday. honestly, i was just an excuse to eat cake. it was a great bash.
if anyone wants or needs a chill musician, this is the guy. he has a hauntingly beautiful voice and his music is just as haunting and just as beautiful.
here's a girl a boy and a graveyard (lyrics bellow):
ooooh
oooooh
lucy takes the long way home
meets me in a field of stone
she says "i don't know how i'm s'pose to feel
my body's cold my guts are twisted steel."
and i feel like i'm some kind of frankenstein
waiting for a shock to bring me back to life
but i don't want to spend my time
waiting for lightning to strike.
ooooh
oooooh
so underneath the concrete sky
lucy puts her hand in mine
she says "life's a game we're meant to lose.
but stick by me and i will stick by you."
cause i'm like a princess in a castle high
waiting for a kiss to bring me back to life
but i don't want to spend my time
waiting for just another guy.
