Everyone can sleep soundly tonight. I have found the nicest summer suit possible. It looks really nice with my special summer-y red heart-shaped sunglasses.
tonight's equation (maybe I do miss school)
this one is for you, ex-lunch table
Belle & Sebastian
Geez Louise. I really adore Belle & Sebastian. I've had a few of their songs for years, but just recently I got their album Dear Catastrophe Waitress--which I do realise is an old album--on my iPod and oh my gracious. I finally listened to it in its entirety while I was folding laundry the other afternoon (I practically throw parties while I fold laundry, fyi) and I was thoroughly impressed. Yum! Here's a really nice music video I found that someone made for their song Piazza, New York Catcher.
Sidenote: A somewhat hobby of mine (at least I've noticed today I quite enjoy it) is looking up lyrics on Songmeanings.net to see what other folks gather from songs, and well, their meanings. (Useful for the occasional catchy song you find yourself singing unaware of what exactly you are singing, or the irresistibly poetic song that you really love but honestly don't quite know the whole story.) Some suggestions are humorous, while others make me majorly want--more than ever--to write a song someone can find comfort in, and evoke thought. I love music. Yay.

Plus, my gramma liked my She & Him album. How cute is that? I gave her a copy. And my pops got a stamp collectors book at B&N and a ton of model cars antiquing. My grandparents are pretty much cooler than me sometimes.
pie crazy?!

new albums + dark chocolate
I don't know what it is about buying a new album. Maybe it's the fact that their songs stay in place even after their hundredth play, or the playing it for the first time and second time and third time--all in a row of course. Albums just seem to hold some sort of novelty. At some point--it isn't completely certain when this takes place--they become nostalgic, and this is always comforting. I am quite taken by anything that is comforting. Anyway, today I purchased my first album since Sam's Town, AKA it's been a while. I've been saving up for Europe fervently, so today was somewhat of a splurge. On my way walking to Barnes & Noble, I stopped in AJ's specifically for some Endangered Species chocolate (I'm a sucker for this kind of thing), and ate most of it before I got to my homeland. I finally caved and bought Volume One when I ventured into the music section of my dear Barnes & Noble. I have to say I am very pleased with it. Especially, well, all of the songs. I'd point one out, but then I'd have to point all of them out because they all pretty much deserve the same attention.
Plus, I love my family. Nice bonus.
today=good day
ps, happy June!
