Rainy Sunday Afternoons

Which song would fit this mildly depressing, rainy Sunday afternoon? Firstly, it shouldn't push me further over the edge of emo-ness. Secondly, playing the happiest song you can think of wouldn't really cheer you up....if it does, then you're a freak who looks forward to Mondays and you suck....finished.

So taking all in consideration, the winner of this particular Sunday will be.....(drum role)....Tegan and Sara with The Con......(Applause)

Have a great week!

Happy Days

 


Every time I see this photo I catch myself grinning. These were some of the best est estest times I can think of.
This is a picture of me and Jeannine Neetling in a costume shop in Arnhem, Netherlands. What you are not seeing is Adina Bosch taking the photo after just getting up from crawling around under a shelf to pick up something she'd dropped.

Sing my precious!

Here's one for the weekend....LOVE LOVE LOVE this song!

The Hangover

So what would your favourite song be on a hangover day? Mine would be something that's not too happy, nor too depressing....

I know! Here is the perfect song for those morning afters:

The Naked and Famous - Young Blood

Happy Hangin'!

Band of the week.....Edward Sharpe and The Magnetic Zeros

I was recently introduced to music by Edward Sharpe and The Magnetic Zeros and I fell in love with it! This American band has been on the music scene since '09 and their music has been featured in numerous movies and series. The name comes from a book lead singer, Alex Ebert wrote prior to the band about a guy (Edward Sharpe) who "was sent down to Earth to kinda heal and save mankind...but he kept getting distracted by girls and falling in love."

You've gotta' LOVE it!





Do yourself a favour and listen to Edward Sharpe and The Magnetic Zeros - Home

Dutch Courage

Why do I always reminisce of old times when I know I have to work? I’ll sit in front of the computer for a solid hour before I snap myself out of my day dream. So, now, I’ll post a photo, get some coffee and say goodbye for know.
 
This picture is one of my favourites from my Dutch exchange album. In this photo are Theresa Beelders and Adina Bosch standing on a street corner in Utrecht. Theresa was very brave to wear just a jersey and she nearly lost her limbs to the cold. Happy times!
