It's not what you like.

It's what you're like as a person.

The Bird And The Bee - "Rich Girl" (Hall & Oats cover)
Ra Ra Riot - "Dying Is Fine"
Cults - "Go Outside"

A few unrelated thoughts:

1. Let's be real here.. that horoscope below could have caught me in bed almost ANY day. Ain't no thang.

2. My mom's family has officially reached utah mormon status of: embarassingly large. We will be celebrating Easter at a ward building in Salt Lake. I'm one step closer to having my wedding reception in a cultural hall. Ouch..

3. I've been thinking about dealbreakers lately. Not the 30Rock episode, but the standards we have in dating. My last boyfriend said he had 3 qualities that the girls he dated had to meet. They had to be beautiful, love God, and be happy. I like that list, but is it really that simple?

4. I buy groceries for my office every monday. Each time without fail I get asked at the register, "Wow that's a lot of bananas! What are you planning to do with all these BANANANANAS???" I think it's actually making me GO bananas. Good joke, I know.

5. My brother that lots of people think doesn't exist is coming to visit this weekend. I am going to make sure to take LOTS of pictures as proof that he is real.

Wait What - Islands Is The Limit (Notorious BIG vs. the xx)

James, me, Maaam

Taurus Daily Horoscope 3/29/2010 : This is one of those days when all you want to do is stay in bed and read or watch tv -- and there's nothing wrong with that in moderation! Indulge your lazy side and prepare yourself for hard work ahead.

I just read this from the comfort of my cozy bed.. at 11:46... Don't worry I'm getting up now.. or soon... eventually soon...

Oh and p.s. totally glaring in this pic... born to glare.

Phoenix - "Rome" (Neighbors Remix ft. Devendra Banhart)

They say that only boring people are bored. Do you think this is true?

Karma's only a b if you are.

So be sweet!

So unfortunately I will not be attending the Holi Festival of Colors today because I am at wooork. But here are a few pictures from last year! Hare krishna rama rama dali llama... etc.

Naked Eyes - "Promises Promises"

The limited time offer on my open car door windows is officially closed. No pun intended. Cost me a pretty penny, but I now have 4 fully functioning windows. And 2 new pairs of shoes.. And a dress.. And a few sweaters.. Oh and a blazer..

Rolling Stones - "Sympathy For The Devil"

Dreamt that Ben Folds was trying to get me to sleep with him, but I told him I was waiting til marriage. HAHAH.

You know when you run into an old friend or acquaintance on campus or at the grocery store or wherever and you have one of those real quick catch-up-on-eachothers-lives-in-2-minutes-or-less chats? They always end in something to the effect of: "Hey, well ... we should hang out!" "Yeah, for sure! I'll call you.."

Well I have a proposal. Can we just scrap that whole ending? We both know that we aren't gonna hang out. We both have busy lives. We are no longer priorities in eachothers lives no matter how close we may have once been. Let's just erase the unnecessary guilt of not following through with our plan to plan on hanging out later at some undetermined place and time.

If you really do really sincerely want to hang out with me, then go for it. Say those words in parting. But if you don't... please... a friendly "Well it was nice running into you. Have a great day" will more than suffice.

Yeah? No?

This is a poll.

When eating a banana, do you...

a) peel first, eat second?
b) peel as you go?

Please leave your answer in the comments. Thank you.

Nah, I feel good. I got this.

I feel inadequate.

Dear friends and neighbors,

I'm excited to announce that it is now easier than ever to steal from my car! Not only do I (still) not lock the doors.. but now the passenger side window refuses to roll up. Act now on this amazing offer because I can't guarantee it will last!

Love always,
Lindsay

Everyday without fail I wake up with a song stuck in my head. I decided to start keeping a running list of these songs. Here is this week's:

Mon Vampire Weekend - "Giving Up The Gun"
Tues Starf*cker/Pyramidd - "Rawnald Gregory Erickson The Second"
Wed Magic Kids - "Hey Boy"
Thurs - Ludacris - "What's Your Fantasy"
Fri - WhiteSnake - "Here I Go Again"

Oh Neon Gold, How do I love thee? Let me count the ways.



Ellie Goulding - "Under The Sheets" (Chiddy Bang Remix)
Wolf Gang - "Back to Back"
Oberhofer - "Away From You"
The Temper Trap - "Fader" (The Knocks Remix ft. Samuel)
1,2,3 - "Confetti"

Bring me Spring.

Freelance Whales - "Generator 1st Floor" (Passion Pit Aislyn Remix)

There are currently 4 boys I want to send one of these to.

Rebecca and Jason's engagement pictures turned out beautifully. Good call on wearing that fantastic coat Becca! Whose closet did you snatch that out of? ;)

Tonight I will throw out one of my favorite thrift purchases of this year. I still get compliments on them with each wearing. But those shoes have completely fallen apart. And they are now drenched in orange juice from today's grocery store incident. Enough is enough.

Me too brah.

Sunday is a good day.

In other news, I spent $14 on girl scout cookies.

I spent Friday afternoon at my Grandma's house in Salt Lake. Eating the ultimate comfort foods, looking at old photos, telling stories. It was an A+ way to spend the day. More pictures here.

A few more photos from the trip. See the rest here.
Kisses - "Bermuda"

The first roll was sort of a bust. We'll have to wait and see how the next one turns out. Until then.. check out the rest here.

I sleep-texted for the first time yesterday (that I'm aware of).

(614): Just saw my russian lit prof. He said "hi claire" and we both smiled and waved. Just another tender mercy
(781): I don't get it ha

I guess there is no point in replacing names with area codes if the name of the textee is in the text of said text! But anyway, yeah, NO recollection whatsoever of reading or responding to this text. For the record, if I had been awake I would have "gotten it." I get it.

Neon Indian - "Sleep Paralysist"

Let me live in this dream a little longer please.
