quick hello & a few other things.

hi loves!

a quick post today because i need sleep so very badly

i just returned from my fencing tournament,
placed second,
considering how little sleep i've had in the past few days,
how many assignments were worked on,
how much lsat studying took place,
i'm content with the results.

now i have the night to recharge
& it starts again tomorrow

i think it's important to remind ourselves
to take it one day at a time.

so without further ado,

1. my friend caitie blogged about an issue that i think is very important, you can find that here
2. i'm currently listening to this, and it is helping the relaxation process quite nicely
3. i received a postcard in the mail today that reads:

your task is not to seek for love,
but merely to seek and find all the barriers within yourself
that you have built against it.
-rumi

isn't that lovely?

exhausted kisses,

pb & j on a sunday.

hey!

it's going to be a long night,
presentations need to be rehearsed,
& midterms need to be studied for.

i made myself a pb & j,
some comfort food
for the long night ahead.
looks delicious, doesn't it?

& i'm listening to ray lamontagne - hold you in my arms.

hope your weekend was wonderful!

night,

-m

yum & a tune.

ok, i could not resist

i've been craving Portuguese custard tarts for days,
finally googled them,
hoping it would slightly quench my craving

flawed logic
because i found this photo,
& it only heightened the craving

YUM! YUM! YUM!

also, i'm currently listening to passion pit - the reeling (manners)

voila!

film for a friday.

one more thing for today,

a few days ago i was watching bored to death, with jason schwartzmann
since the show started,
i wondered who his character reminded me of.

it finally clicked!

his chacarer reminded me of Antoine Doinel,
a character in François Truffaut's L'amour en fuite

i found the film on youtube,
it's quite fun!

enjoy,

-m

tea time.

hi hi!

i'm afraid i've fallen victim to the horrible cold!

yuck.

a runny nose,
eyes with an aversion to any light,
& a pounding headache are no fun

but, the tea set from urban general is absolutely delicious!

now all i need is an eclectic downtown flat &
my retro tea party will be in full swing!

no kisses today,
can't risking passing on this cold.

early morning musings

morning!

i have been up since 5 this morning,
i think i feel a cold creeping on

too bad, cold.
you'll have to come back
when i don't have two essays due

whilst debating with my immune system,
i'm listening to

this

&

this

&

this

....


&

this

(yeah, every once in a while, T.Swift is mandatory)

i do highly recommend
running out this weekend
& buying bell x1's flock cd.
i've had it forever, and still enjoy it more & more
every time i pop it in

now i must get off my bum,
& choose an outfit.
which reminds me,
winter is creeping up.

i am one of those people who hate winter 99%
the other 1% revolves around christmas and carols
but everything else about canadian winters,
i dislike.


well i do love hot cocoa,
while listening to bon iver.

ok maybe 98%


kiss,

-m

light love.

love that set!

kiss,

nostalgic tendencies

many people who know me,
know that 80s yugo rock
is one of my favourite things

...

ever.

well bijelo dugme (translated as white button)
were the leaders of the 80s balkan rock movement,
below is one of their more popular songs

everything about it is amazing,
how can you not be ecstatically happy
after that video?

ha ha

enjoy!

one moment

so today was one of those days,
the demanding ones.

on the agenda:

eight hours of class
... consecutively,
fencing lesson,
late night studying.

so,
i reluctantly got out of bed,
& proceeded outside,
only to be met with a downpour!

well finally,
i was done the eight hours
& exhausted,

was about to head out to fencing,
when i caught a glance
of girl guide mint chocolate cookies

the day went from being
exhausting to amazing,
in one moment.

kiss,

-m

two things.

the first

the second

this site.

both kept me laughing
for quite some time!

enjoy!

in a perfect world...

men and women would understand each other :)

music on a monday

time for some music!

tunes i'm currently bopping to...

alexi murdoch - all my days

i've been listening to his stuff since the first year of high school,
& i still love it as much as i did the first time i heard orange sky

recommended for:
summer days at the cottage,
just as dusk descends,
lying in a hammock.

favourite tunes from the album:

1. song for you
2. orange sky
3. all of my days

the antlers - hospice

i just love this band,
i can't really pinpoint why,
the music just makes me happy.

recommended for:
depends on which song you are listening to,
you could be strolling downtown,
sipping tea and listening to "two"

or

you could be coming home from a long day,
on the train commute out of the city,
whilst listening to "shiva"

so, favourites:

1. shiva
2. two (hehe, see what i did there?)
3. prologue

jose gonzalez - veneer

the entire album is absolutely wonderful,
but the song, "heartbeats" is one of my favourites
of all time.

this will be a great addition
to your "music to relax to" playlist

hope your ears enjoy my suggestions!

love and kisses,

-m

shoes! food! perfect.

night!

late night post,
hope you're tucked in bed by now,
but before i do the same,
thought i'd share my evening.

first,
i got new shoes!
suede + leather laces,
aren't they just lovely?
will post my own photos soon.

went out to dinner with a few friends,
drank strawberry beer,
ate wild mushroom soup,
& devoured white belgian fudge cake
yeah, you read that right WHITE BELGIAN FUDGE CAKE
yum yum yum !

now,
i'm listening to interpol,
while sulking in the scent of my perfume,
t'was a gift :)

lots of love,

-m

currently...

listening to

this here.

bjork . all is full of love.

kiss,

wet fridays.

hey!

the above photos from papertissue,

perfectly describe the current weather.

rainy & foggy,

it's the type of weather,

that people

LOVE

or

HATE,

it really spawns no indifference

me,

i love it!

maybe because the summer

was filled with brightness & clarity,

whereas the rain & fog,

evoke such a dark, gloomy mystery,

or

maybe because it provides me

with the perfect excuse to buy new boots!

i've spent all day studying for my lsat,

i score incredibly high on every section,

except for logic games

grrrr,

life would be so wonderful without logic games

i've cracked open a window,

am boiling some water for my tea,

&

i'm enjoying

the smell of wet grass & the foggy mist

much love,

-m
