summer

and then it was fall...


today began the school year  {with my one entire class}
but forever i will remember this summer as the summer of biking, the summer of ice cream sandwiches, the summer i successfully dodged eating a lobster roll, and most importantly 
the summer i won a whole month of schnitzel.
i also saw xenakis on a boat, attended my first bang on a can marathon, heard all of varese's works live, committed a flea market tour, made new friends, kept the old, wrote for time out magazine, witnessed a live taping of iron chef, won ten cents at the belmont stakes, took a little trip to tanglewood, said bye bye to my wisdom teeths, ate goat, went to a regina spektor concert, saw the silk road ensemble and leila josefowicz in the same week {!} and {also most importantly} saw an episode of the jersey shore for the first time. 
hah! 
beat that, fall.

but really. who's excited for punkin bread and my red leather jacket? i am.

yeh

regina spektor



regina spektor
performed live at northwestern's dillo day today!

she was good 
{in that half cheerful and half dark way that she is}

my recent wisdom teeth extraction operation left me 
with just enough energy to sit on the grass and bask in the sun 
and not sing along {and not stay for guster, sadly}

...this, i promise, will be the first of many summer concerts!! yay!!


xoxo


yeh

i wouldn't mind...



i wouldn't mind being at summer camp right now
i wouldn't mind frolicking barefooted in big open fields
i wouldn't mind a campfire {with s'mores}




i wouldn't mind a picnic with some cheese and crackers and grapes
i wouldn't mind some stars, a moon, and a bench to sit and watch
i wouldn't mind a lake to jump in



i wouldn't mind some flip flops
i wouldn't mind some outdoor concerts
i wouldn't mind some summer sun




okee, how much longer until june? :-)




xoxo




yeh
