well, I haven’t posted in ages!

long story short I moved to Seattle, lived and worked at a hostel for two months then moved to West Seattle when my grad program started. after six months there I moved to Capitol Hill. I have a million projects and I love living one day at a time! I’ve also really gotten into crocheting. here are some fun little projects I want to try:

bye bye nc. bye bye southern food.

well, i’m moving from north carolina to seattle, washington next week! and while i’m unbelievably excited i will miss nc. one of the things i’ll miss most? the food. so here’s my list:

sweet tea

biscuits (namely from sunrise biscuits)

vinegar based bbq

katie’s soft pretzels

fried chicken

maple view ice cream

full diner breakfast: bacon, eggs, hashbrowns, grits, biscuit, country ham.

at least i’ll get great coffee and sushi!

love me if you dare

one of my favorite movies ever. (warning: very french.) but it has

Guillaume Canet:

whose babies i would have in a second, and his real life girlfriend

Marion Cotillard:

who is an amazing actress, and never fails to wear something highly enviable. and i personally love when actors in a romantic movie have a real life romance.

anyway, here’s the trailer (english version) for the movie:

and here is part 1 of the whole film (in french w english subtitles), you can find the rest of the movie by following the links on youtube.

i told you i was in love with M. Ward now…

She and Him+Wye Oak=amazing

thescarletpoppy — Mon, 27 Jul 2009 18:30:48 +0000

i had been looking forward to last night’s show for a loooong time, and i’m glad to say it lived up to my hype! i fell in love with Wye Oak, who were amazing, and absolutely loved the She and Him set. old songs, new songs, and an amazing encore including the best rendition of “i put a spell on you” that i’ve ever heard. now, if only they would record it…sadly no pictures were allowed…

but of course Zooey Deschanel wore an amazing dress, white a-line paired with a headband of huge white flowers. also, i think i might have fallen in love with M. Ward…just a little.

anyway, here’s some Wye Oak:

and some She and Him:

(wow! i actually found “i put a spell on you!” incidentally, that’s the same dress. sans flowers.)

this is a clearer version:

btw, i love the older guy they have on guitar, he was awesome.

if they come to your town, go see them!

“La planta solo da una flor grande, globosa, de seis petalos de hermosas colores, sin aroma.”

“The plant gives only one large globular flower, with six petals made of gorgeous colors, without scent. “
