Error; Cannot Compute

So my brain, which has been used the cool weather of Alaska, is having a difficult time collecting my thoughts. For the mean time, I can not sit down and write a cohesive recollection of my journey to Alaska. The blog will arrive shortly, when this heat wave passes...

Can you say: I shit in my pants?! Because I just did.

Even while on a boat with no internet access, I was able to get the 411 on these sex[z].

FYI: Currently working on a blog about the cruise. Stay tuned.

Alaska, Russia's Neighbor

Girrrrrl, here I come!

No one can see you like I do-oo-ooo,

No one can see me like you do-oo-ooo.

Children don't grow up

their bodies get bigger, but their hearts get torn up

At this point, I'm not sure if I'm more excited for this movie, or if I'm more excited for the soundtrack to this movie. I mean, a line up that consists of members of Arcade Fire, Yeah Yeah Yeahs, Deerhunter, The Bird and the Bee, Dead Weather and The Raconteurs has got to be something to look forward to. And just to give a glimpse of what to come, here is the trailer again, with the reworked version of 'Wake Up' by Arcade Fire.

3 more days!

I BOUGHT IT!

left hook, I didn't see it coming

DJ Tiesto has finally collaborated with my favourite twinsies Tegan and Sara after remixing their 2007 hit "Back In Your Head." The song is called "Feel It In My Bones," and will be featured on Tiesto's new record 'Kaleidoscope," which also features the likes of Emily Haines from Metric , Jónsi from Sigur Rós, Kele Okereke from Bloc Party, and Nelly Furtado. Definitely something to look forward to, especially after hearing "Feel It In My Bones." Here's what T&S had to say, and below is the song. Enjoy!

Blogspot, I think I'm going to start an affair with Tumblr. I'm sorry. It's me, not you.

4 MORE DAYS

UNTIL I GO ON AN ADVENTURE TO ALASKA TO FIND SARAH PALIN! Ok, the last part is a lie, but I am def going to Alaska. Woo! Apparently it's really cold there. Cold as in jackets, coats, boots, gloves and scarves!





I almost like the cover more than the original. Maybe I'm just bias because I love HM more than LH. Maybe.

See the emptiness.
Hear the silence.
Feel the stillness.

New Radiohead song?!?

Generation ???

When I was in 7th grade (age 12), all I thought about was 4 square,and what was on the lunch menu. Today, apparently 7th graders talk about girls, or boys, beer pong, smoking pot, and Guitar Hero. I admit, talking about boys, girls and Guitar Hero is relatively normal, but for 12 year olds to talk about smoking pot and playing beer pong is not, in any sense, normal. I don't even think I knew what beer pong was when I was their age, or was the game not invented yet? Granted, I was probably a little slow with "the know," but I still think these kids know way too much for their years. I guess this is what you get when you have a generation growing up to the likes of '16 & Pregnant,' 'Juvies,' 'Sweet 16,' and whatever bull-crap MTV airs.

I think this is hitting me a bit harder than usual, because this is my younger brother I'm talking about. His friends are the ones talking about drugs and alcohol, his friends are the ones that can influence him, and his friends are the ones that can change him. But of course, as the Nazi sister, I am not going to let that happen.

So what does this mean?

This means we're having a talk. I might need a stick, or some sort of hitting device, but those are optional.

Currently (re)diggin': Lauryn Hill

I am...

a vessel for everyone else's problems, but my own.

Dream//Reality

Once again, my inability to foresee the future has caused another mishap in the stream of what was suppose to be "the plan." I've been planning for months now to get a Nikon D5000, and I've been viciously saving up my money in order to make this plan, or dream might I say, a reality. But life likes to throw curve balls, and every time life throws a curve ball at me, I infallibly strike out. Recently it has come to my attention that my brother is struggling financially, to the point where he can't even go to school this coming Fall semester, because he could not make the payments on time. He could not pay last month's rent, and now, the credit card companies are calling up a storm. In fear of my parents, he has kept all of this from them. Perhaps it's shame, or guilt. Either way, he refuses to tell them. He didn't even have the guts to confront me about it, his girlfriend had to tell me. So now, instead of dishing out 800 big ones for the camera of my dreams, I will, in confidence, hand over the money to my brother, so that he can save his credit. For now, my camera can be sacrificed, my brother's future on the other hand, can not. Sigh.

You know you're lonely when...

you wake up in the morning and you're spooning with your blanket and/or pillow.

Comfortably Uncomfortable

Why do we always hurt the ones we love and care about the most? Is it because we are comfortable enough to show them our flaws? Are we more willing to express and reveal sides to ourselves that we tend to hide from those we are trying to impress? Should we stop trying to impress those we think know us best? Or should we care enough to try and take the next step up the latter of becoming a better person in the eyes of those we love?

There have been internal problem between my best friends lately; things were said, feelings were hurt and relationships were almost ruined. I've been trying my best to be the mediator, but things can't be resolved when both ends are being stubborn. Finally, for the first time, the three of us got together to work things out. Things were said, but nothing was entirely resolved. It scares me how fickle friendships can be, even friendships that have withstood the test of time and countless obstacles. At any moment, with any incident no matter how large or small, everything can change. On the surface, I feel like we're trying to make it seem like things have calmed down, and though I would love to believe that, logic reminds me that we're probably still two steps behind where we usually are. I've done all that I can, and I will continue to fight, but for now, only time will tell...

I dig it, can you?

Cloudy with a chance of...

For as long as I can remember, I've always had a longstanding love affair with clouds. I remember being 8 years old and wishing I could be an astronaut, just so I could get closer to the clouds. Little did I know that as an astronaut you don't exactly get closer to clouds, rather, farther. Yesterday was by far the most beautiful day of summer. Sunny and warm, yet there was something spectacular about the sky. Clouds. Puffy clouds of all shades of white and gray dotted the sky during the day and night. The photos I took certainly don't serve the sky's beauty justice, but I did what I could with my unsteady hand and my shotty Nikon Coolpix, which by the way sucks at taking landscape/sky photos during dawn and dusk.

Hotter than hell!

And while we're on the subject of music, here's a new video by Florence + the Machine!


Choreography approved.

MOF

The ultimate indie-folk supergroup. Members of Bright Eyes and My Morning Jacket included. M. Ward is sold separately.

Fantasy Loop

One man. One loop pedal. One amazing song.

Why do you have to get in the way of summer?
You constantly beckon me to be here,
When I wish to be there.
You ask for me when I have engagements.
You call for me when I'm out with others.
I can never plan a trip without consulting you first.
You act like my gatekeeper,
But I don't have a gate.
Work, why do you have to get in the way of summer?
Why do you have to become my non-existent boyfriend?

Here I am. Where is here?

Time warp, this never-ending loop.
Too much time, too little time.
Falsified reality, premature accomplishments.
We dream too big, forced to dream smaller.
The seams that once held together our universe tears.
The sewing needle becomes too dull to repair the damage.
Nothing is what they're meant be.
Perhaps we have been fooled?
Or perhaps we have prevailed.
Clockwork; repeat.

As always,
