but taking a two month hiatus from mogging is probably inexcusable. what can i say folks? school has gotten tough, i jetted off to italy, and have just basically been going NONSTOP.
so now here is my newest musical obsession... coconut records, jason schwartzman's band. LOVE THEM. love them, looooooooove them :] i found them and have been addicted ever since. its that kind of mellow yet upbeat poppy music that just makes you want to dance. i recommend the tracks "west coast" "its not you its me" and finally "nighttiming", of which you can find a hilarious lip synch of the latter on youtube (done by jason's little bro robert, the lead singer of rooney.)
find their myspace and listen!
fun fact: i literally danced around venice listening to coconut records. all the other tourists thought i was crazy. i probably am :]
i have already converted one person to the magic of coconut records! while the trip to italy was a school trip, i actually didnt know most of the people before we left. i bonded with this one guy when he turned around on the bus and began singing "i will follow you into the dark" to me. then he would sit next to me on the tour bus and we shared our mutual love of bands such as the editors, spoon, and the postal service. i nearly melted because i had met someone who would serenade me with death cab and who likes many of the same bands as me (a very rare thing in the town where i am from)was attractive, kind, and fell asleep with their head on my shoulder, which i found to be adorable. i should have known it was too good to be true, and god is a cruel cruel person to wave all of those wonderful qualities in my face because the person is currently dating some other girl.
gahhhhhhhh.
luckily i have bonnaroo coming up in june to cheer me up considerably....
my best friend and i in venice!

well sturgell, i am mostly excited for my favorites like: death cab, rilo, tegan and sara, and of course the raconteurs.
also excited for: the felice bros (seen them open once and they were killer) and iron and wine, and of course some bands from before my day such as pearl jam and metallica.
also getting to see alison krauss and robert plant, of which my parent are super jealous. haha, they were big into zeppelin.
charley- the pasta sucked. we were on a school trip so it was mass made crap. my spaghetti tastes better than the stuff they gave us!
tyler- oh, it was fun. i love europe, i was loathe to come back.
