meet panda-chan!

Say "Hello!" to my newest addiction to Land of Cuteseas *drumroll please*...Panda-Chan! Panda-Chan was ordered for a friend of mine for Valentines Day so I hope she loves it! Speaking of Valentines Day...does anyone have any special plans? Tonight we are doing our special Valentines Day dinner and the one and only L'Auberge Chez Francois. I can't wait to stuff my face with authentic delicious French cuisine. Yum!





Oh, I also wanted to share some tunes for your listening pleasure. Bon appetit!

all around and away we go

I can't get enough of this song/band.

playing catch up

Wow...It's been a while since my last post! I've been crazy busy lately with school and the day to day activities that have been thrown my way. Now the holidays are here...Lord have mercy on my soul! Here is a little picture catch up. Oh, and I'll try and be a good girl and post more often!


Halloween










In November, Deanna with Adhesive Fashion & One Stop Pin Up came to visit us! Here are some of the pictures we came up with.






Chris also wanted to take some pictures that day too...


lookbook



Other things that happened in November include: seeing The Morning Benders play at the Black Cat [ swoon times 1 million ], my 26th birthday, & visiting my family for Thanksgiving!

On to December!

Last week a fine fellow named Michael Woodward wanted to take some pictures. Here is one that we really liked from that shoot. You like???



I'll have to fill you all in on some of the goodies I've acquired in between then some other time! Anyone excited for the winter holidays? I know I am! What do you guys want for Christmas???

stars

Going to see these guys Tuesday night! I've been wanting to see Stars for a while so this should be pretty good!

sslyby

I'm going to see these guys tomorrow. CANT WAIT!

Coquet Coquette

Of Montreal, I love you. You never disappoint!





Ugh. I know. I need to stop being a slacker.

slip away

The New Pornographers are one of my favorite bands, so I was pretty excited to find out that Kathryn Calder was working on a solo project. She just released a new record called Are You My Mother and I really like it so far. Here is a video from her new album. Enjoy!

virgins

I just found out that The Morning Benders are working on a new song called Virgins. I love what I'm hearing already, but I pretty much love everything from them. I mean, how can you not with that melt your heart voice? *swoon*

sass

The other day I was having music flashbacks and I really wanted to listen to this soul/electronica group called Owusu & Hannibal. I first heard about them a few years ago on a sample cd from Ubiquity Records and I loved them! Well, I searched here and there and I found their myspace page that sadly only lets you play one song and it wasn't exactly the song I was looking for. I continued my search over at lastfm and I had the same misfortune there. After my unsuccessful search, I found out that Robin Hannibal is now working with the very talented Coco in a group called Quadron. You should definitely check them out. They work very well together musically. I posted two videos below because I couldn't decide which one I actually liked better! Enjoy!

the honey trees

This is what I have been listening to lately. She has such a lovely voice. This is my favorite from their EP. Give it a listen.

empty clouds

Doesn't she just have a lovely voice? I think Courier News is going to be my new favorite band of the week.


*Sorry about the video not being a "real" music video. This is all I could find!

play a little tune for me

Thinking about a Summer play list. Anyone have any suggestions?

whatta tease

I'm super excited about the new album from Someone Still Loves You Boris Yeltsin that comes out in August. Here is a little teaser they put out this week.





Speaking of being a tease...I think I might work a little bit on a cyclops I just started. Maybe I'll have some pictures of how it's going by the end of the week.

Big Echo

The Morning Benders put a new album out last week. You all should check it out. It's pretty good stuff.

This is what has been in my CD player lately.

Enjoy!

Eluardian Instance

This has got to be one of my favorite songs from Of Montreals Skeletal Lamping CD. This CD gets me going no matter what mood I'm in and wakes me up in the morning. I love it.

cats on fire

He kind of sounds like Morrissey. Wouldn't you agree? Gotta love it.


Cats on Fire

MERP

I've been so busy lately. Yesterday was my birthday and I had a wonderful night! I will tell you all about it in another post later on. Here is a good band I've been listening to lately. They are called Savior Adore and you can here more of their music here.





Anyone ready for Thanksgiving?! I know I am!

hot

I've been a busy bee lately. I've been working on an installation for an upcoming art show! The deadline for my entry is next Tuesday and I still have about 50% left to do haha. Tonight, I have my second class of yoga. Time to get bendy. Thanks for the trial Kathleen!

mia

Hello everyone. I wanted to thank everyone for your kind words. It's still a tough time and it always helps when you have kind people around. Chris and I decided we are going to file a lawsuit against the pit owners. I hope it goes by fast. Anyway, here is a doodle I just finished! I'm so behind on everyones blogs[eeee]. I have a lot of catching up to do!




I thought this music video went perfect with my doodle. I love when the fish decides to turn his castle into a rocket ship[teehee].





Oh, and the issue of Stuffed magazine that I am in is out! For all those that want to see, I will have pictures of what my pages look like soon. Plus, I should have some new pictures from my Diana up next weekend.

I hope all is well.
