There is always something about Sundays that get me.  It's that feeling you get when you wake up Sunday morning, and know your weekend is about over.  Sunday is practically Monday.  It's such a tease.
 
I always feel like I never quite got everything I needed to be done on the weekends.  I don't think I ever will....

Friday, stat.

California.

I will be visiting you shortly. Oh how I have missed you! I might not even despise the traffic when I get there.

2 days till this girl is West Coastin' it.

Yay Labor Day Weekend!

My favorite topic today: Desserts.

There is always room for desserts people - always. In my world desserts are a major food group, and moving to the other side of the coast hasn't changed that for anything. That said-someone please direct me to a decent slice of pie.

NYC Cupcakes. Check.
NYC Cheesecake. Double Check.
Pie. Where in the hell can I find you?

I remembered I promised myself at one point or another that I was going to try to be better at updating this thing. *Obviously* the post-it note I stuck to my brain fell off and I've been hit or miss. So instead of promising myself to do it I'm just going to cross my fingers because eventually I'll stop writing that every single time I get back on the wagon.

Backtracking the moving, and fast forwarding 10 months later, I am still getting used to this side of the coast (snow!?). Admittedly though, when the sun is out and I take a look around -I definitely wouldn't want to be anywhere else. That in itself is craziness. I wonder how long this love affair is going to last... got to love Spring.

*jumps for joy*

So I am FINALLY back online! Who knew that being without Internet for 2 weeks would make me feel like I've been living under a rock. S***. I was going through withdrawal I kid you not... Yay for Time Warner Cable. More surprising- my cable guy actually showed up ON TIME. *gasp* I couldn't believe it either...

NYC living is good. The city thus far has been awesome... haven't had time to explore too much in an attempt to get my apartment together though. At the moment- furnitureless and still living out of a suitcase (I'm going to unpack eventually!). Must admit- although I haven't missed driving at ALL since I got here - when I was in the store today trying to figure out how in the HELL I was going to get stuff back to my place I did think... "Oh how I miss Target. And my car."

... East Coast baby.

I got a job. YAY!

Moving to NYC in 6 days. EEK!

Have I packed? NO.

Have I moved out of my apartment. NEGATIVE.

Have I contemplated what a California girl is going to do in a New York winter. YES!

...Here's to making a leap to the other side of the coast- Holding my breath.

Well. Preparing thesis for binding and about 2 weeks away from *finally* getting out of school. Totally excited and freaking out at the same time. I'm going to have to get a "real job"!! I remember this same feeling when I graduated from college- seems like forever ago...

Still the same girl though I think. Just- More music obsessed. More comfortable in her own skin. Less naive. Less confused. But still completely indecisive...

Making a jump to the East Coast this summer. *Crosses Fingers* Here's to finding work in music.

I. am. graduating.

...

My thesis got approved.

:)

*SCREAMS*

... feel so much better.

Time=none.

Thesis=beating your head against a computer screen pondering the ever fabulous "WHY! WHY AM I DOING THIS AGAIN?!"

And procrastination... always rampant.

- I will be happy once I get through April. That's 3 months. I can survive, right?

What's worse?

...circling a parking lot like a scavaging vulture, to slow to a crawl at the sight of a shopper who just *may* be leaving but who probably is just dropping off bags into their trunk, and attempting to beat 3 other vehicles into a what you hope is a soon-to-be-vacant parking spot after 30 minutes of cursing the fact that you could have saved yourself the aggravation and just shopped online

OR

...being packed like a sardine in a room with what feels like a million other people to literally grab, reach, and filter through items like you're never going to see them again, that forces you into a long-drawn out process of "there is nothing left so I'll just take what I can get" purchasing paranoia, to wait in a line that you swear is longer than the ones at Disneyland, and finding out that there are no gift boxes left.

...

Loathe. Holiday. Shopping.

Winter break.

...All that needs to be said I think.

Breathing is a good thing.

So I have *yet* to set up a proper live journal to showcase the music plugs. So bare with me...

Here I go again... more music related posts from me. This made me smile. So I thought I'd pass it on...

The phrase "no time" is the story of my life. It's go. Go. GO.
As long as it's an organized mess I'll be fine.

Daily ranting over with...

The music note: FYI: You can hear the new Muse album over at myspace before it hits stores. Check it out. I'd love to know what you think. Thoughts anyone?




I'm *definitely* going to have to get that other account just to rant about music...

Okay- in the process of opening a livejournal *just* for my rantings on music (watch this space...). But until then am posting my latest plugs right here. This week's rant:

A Spotlight On Bands Currently on Tour: Check Them Out At A City Near You.
*Tour dates can be found on the links below.*

KILL HANNAH


BIG CITY ROCK

I started my new college marketing rep job at WMG this week. And with it... listening to a gazillion CD's.

You already know how much of a music whore I am (CD buying and going to concerts are my vices in life after all) and not only do I love hearing from people who they're listening to (if you've got a recommendation let me know!), I'm always mouthing off about artists (wanted or not!). So I figured what better to rant about on this thing?! Besides I'd be an awful rep if I didn't at least mention this stuff in my live journal since I'm being immersed in it. And before you say it- NO- I'm not just doing it because I'm spotlighting artists I am doing promo for. I have no qualms. This is music we're talking about, and I wouldn't recommend just *anyone* despite affiliations.

So here's my humble recommendations of the moment - AKA stuff you should check out (and tell your friends about!):

1. Regina Spektor: "Begin to Hope" (for those Tori Amos meets Bjork meets Norah Jones in you...)

2. Rock Kills Kid: "Are you Nervous?" (If you like The Killers and Hard-Fi...):"

3 Head Automatica: "Popoganda" (if you like bands like Sugarcult or Taking Back Sunday, plus the sounds of the power-pop mod of the 70's... YES really!... you'll love them.)

... more to come soon I'm sure. For now. Happy Friday!

My rant from London: Techno dance music. Bombardment at cheese levels.
Imagine it. Enough said.

... having a lovely time and spending way too much money.

Got to love vacations.
