You back.

Prayers and thoughts are with the families who lost a loved one just twelve years ago today.

Staring at our ceilings.

Last summer, while driving back and forth between Durham and Chapel Hill for classes, I would rotate through three albums: The Lumineers, Of Monsters and Men, and these guys.  If you like the first two, look into these guys for a smooth and more chill alternative. The video is of two songs off their amazing new album (though You and I is still my favorite), but if you're looking at their old stuff, don't miss Sun Hands, World News, Airplanes, and Who Knows Who Cares. There. Local Natives overload (Definitely not a bad thing).

Still getting settled in my NYC apartment. I'll post some pics when I have the final product completed (might not be for a few weeks).  After quite a journey to an Ikea in Brooklyn that was more packed than Disney World in July and needed more crowd control than Woodstock, I returned home with just four pieces of furniture to put in my tiny studio in the city. I then discovered that three of the items had scratches or the wrong piece of wood and couldn't be assembled, so now I am at the mercy of the Swedish gods of furniture. Here's to staying optimistic and looking forward to my adorable studio being fully livable by the time I start work in October.
