Blog switch

I've decided to try a new blogging platform, Tumblr, so you can find all new posts here.

Ellie Goulding

   Everyone I've talked to over the last several days knows I've fallen in love with Ellie Goulding's music.  I've been listening to her album, Lights, on repeat and I see no signs of letting up!  Her voice is an interesting mix of delicate and powerful simultaneously and her lyrics are a refreshing change- they are obscure yet I can feel exactly what the song is about.  I almost started crying the first time I listened to the album.  She said Bjork is one of her biggest influences, which explains a lot.

day 16 - a song that you used to love but now hate

I can't think of anything, but instead I can think of plenty of songs I used to hate but now love.

day 15 - a song that describes you

According to one of my friend's, Hannah, this song "is" me.  Luckily I love it!

Day 12- A song from a band you hate

Seeing as I can't think of one... how about a song I like from a band I should hate?

A few days worth of songs.

day 7 - a song that reminds you of a certain event


day 8 - a song that you know all the words to


day 9 - a song that you can dance to


day 10 - a song that makes you fall asleep

Day 6- A song that reminds you of somewhere

Kenny Chesney- On the coast of somewhere beatiful

Martin Luther King, Jr., Strength To Love, 1963

"Like an unchecked cancer, hate corrodes the personality and eats away its vital unity. Hate destroys a man's sense of values and his objectivity. It causes him to describe the beautiful as ugly and the ugly as beautiful, and to confuse the true with the false and the false with the true."

Day 2 - your least favorite song

Pink- Raise your glass

Put simply.  This song grates my ears.

The Royal Wedding

Both Catherine Middleton's wedding dress and reception dress were stunning!  Both were designed by Sarah Burton for Alexander McQueen.   I will admit, I stayed up to watch the festivities, and so glad I did!

Coachella Inspired

   I had the joy of watching Coachella live via YouTube while I was drawing and taking care of work over the weekend.  Here are some of what's been stuck in my head since then.


This looks like so much fun!  Can't wait to see Cut Copy in Austin in a couple days!
