It's only been 4 years...

Ha I'm pretty sure I forgot I even had a blog until a friend of mine told me about her blog and how she just was nominated for an award...it brought memories of a time when I too once had a blog (that no one read) and dreams of quitting my day job and becoming a full time blogger a la Cupcakes and Cashmere (this will never happen, I have come to terms with this fact).

A lot has changed in 4 years, and a lot has stayed the same. It's fun to look back at old posts, to see what I was listening to, what I was interested in and doing at the time. Like a virtual diary but with less private or embarrassing thoughts. So maybe I'll give this another try. Why not?

Where to start, where to start...well one thing that hasn't changed is my love of music and seeing it live. Or shopping and putting together outfits. Or documenting travel experiences. Or planning great parties. Might be a bit of a mixed bag but that will keep things interesting. Stay tuned!

Graduation Overload

So when I graduated from college just over 2 years ago there wasn't that much hype. Like I believe I went out for dinner with my family and my class threw a formal dinner/dance, but no party just for me (although I did have a highschool grad party so I doubt I'm allowed to complain too much). This year, however, I have been to 4 grad parties (2 highschool and 2 college). One was a big backyard affair, one was nautically themed, one had a bouncy castle and one was a formal-hall rental-dance party. All were loads of fun (I've been reading to many British novels), but the kicker was all the presents! It's like weddings but not quite. Makes me wish I'd had one haha. I think I've had my share for this year! Congratulations (again) to everyone who graduated this year!

The Other Guys

Last night I went with two friends to see "The Other Guys" starring Will Ferrell and Mark Wahlberg. Get ready for this...IT HAD A PLOT. I know, it was actually more than Will Ferrell making butt jokes! There were some of the typical guy movie jokes but it was actually really funny, and made fun of itself as well. You definitely laugh in this movie. Mark Wahlberg is actually really good in the movie, although I expected at any moment he was going to say "Say hi to your mother for me". The opening sequence with the Rock and Samuel L Jackson is hilarious. Worth it just for that.

DAY ONE

I just finished this amazing book entitled "Day One" by author David Nicholls. I was at my local Chapters last week and saw a display at the end of the aisle for this book. To be honest it was the cover that grabbed my eye, but the synopsis was so intriguing that I picked it up and brought it home (after purchasing it of course). It's set in Edinburgh and parts of England (which I love) and follows the two main characters from 1988-2007. The meet on July 15, 1988 the day after graduating from the University of Edinburgh. Each chapter takes place exactly one year from that date. It's amazingly written and funny, real, sad and touching. It's a book I will be thinking about for awhile. I would highly recommend it, I've already passed it on to a friend to read.

I Want White

Okay forget the fact that it's been nearly 2 months since my last post (I've been busy okay!) What I really want right now and have for some time is a white chunky watch. This is the one I've been eyeing up lately. The Channel version and other designer versions are unfortunately too much for me to justify...

Bowling Bowling Bowling

So Bowling is not a a sport, it is a game. Just needed to clear that up. Bowling also has the connotation of being a "traler trash" attracter. I'm sure that's politically incorrect. If you've ever been to a bowling alley though, you know what I mean. However, I've probably been about 4 times in the last 2 months. What else are you going to do on a Sunday evening? Well there's lots of things, but once in awhile bowling is a good option. I'm fairly competitive so it's fun trying to beat everyone else's score....my plan is to stop inviting people who are good bowler, jk. Who knows, maybe we'll start a league in the fall. We'll be most stylin' bowlers out there...
