amy leach writes beautiful things.

i had no idea who amy leach was until noon today when i attended a reading of hers at school. and i'm so glad i've found her. i wish i could post everything she's written (but i can't) and although i would love so much to share the entire piece that is "Comfortless", i also can't. so i leave you with my favorite part and encourage you to read everything amy leach has written. including her book and even her interviews (the way she describes texas, amiright?)

"I will wake up as Chocolate-mint Person, I will stumble to the door, unhappily attracting sand and feathers on the way; I will stand on the lawn; I will look up at the stars and bleat, "Stars! I am having trouble with my comforter! You are so serene! How can I be serene like you?" They will look at each other knowingly, for they have answered this question millions of times. And then they will twinkle back to me, "Person, you will never be like a star. Things for you will always float away and spill and melt. The closest thing to serenity for you, is laughing." I will recognize this as true. I will stand there, just another sandy, feathery, chocolate-mint person laughing on the lawn."

"wanderlust" is so overused

it's time by rosieindeed

me and some friends had "french saturday" today (luckily due to cancelled tests and closed cafes) in which we got crepes for lunch followed by raspberry mousse, madeleines, and meringue from a local french bakery ("mer-ci")! one of these friends is off to Paris this fall for study abroad, so we talked about France all day, and gee whiz did all that talk instill some serious wanderlust in my heart!
oh what i would give to be anywhere but utah right now...

soon. right?

my first exposure to Passion Pit was circa 2009 when The Reeling was included in the first free playlist i ever downloaded from urban outfitters. i thought it was pretty cool and Sleepyhead proceeded to become one of my jams ever since. other past encounters with Passion Pit grew to include mix cd's and cool boys dancing to it in high school math class. 

they were supposed to play last summer at the twilight concert series but cancelled, crushing mine and (my little brotha) River's dreams. I had unwittingly gotten River super hyped up (he even claimed they were his favorite band ever) only for The Let Down of Summer 2012.

So, for Christmas we wished for tickets and luckily we're lucky and looky what happened. 

Yay!

i hope you'll enjoy the 13 seconds worth of footage i managed to get before my phone memory filled up and ruined my life. its still a pretty killer little clip, no?

Matt & Kim were surprisingly killer. not that i wasn't looking forward to them, i just didn't have any expectations so when they did things like be hilarious / play dubstep in between their songs and dance / stand on the bass drum / stand on the audience / do the harlem shake, it was pretty much just way cool.

i could bore you all with plenty of details regarding things like annoying fellow concert-goers, the best songs, jokes they made, bubble machines, merch tables, record-breaking levels of sweatiness and jumping so hard/singing so loud that i'm still sore, but for all of our sakes i'll just wrap up with this playlist of favorites and leave you all to enjoy.
