animalstalkinginallcaps: YOU HEAR YEASAYER’S GOT A NEW RECORD COMING OUT? I GUESS I HEARD THAT SOMEWHERE, YEAH. I MIGHT CHECK IT OUT. I DON’T KNOW, MAN. I REALLY ONLY LIKED THEIR LIVE PERFORMANCES FOR A SPECIFIC TWELVE MINUTE SPAN BETWEEN THE RELEASE OF THEIR DEBUT RECORD AND THE FIRST TIME IT WAS REVIEWED BY AN OBSCURE WEBSITE. I REALLY ONLY LIKED THE INDIVIDUAL MEMBERS’ ELEMENTARY SCHOOL BAND PERFORMANCES. IF WE’RE BEING HONEST I ONLY LIKED THEM WHEN THEY WERE, RESPECTIVELY, IN UTERO. I DON’T EVEN LIKE THEIR MUSIC. I ONLY PRETEND TO SO I HAVE SOMETHING TO TALK ABOUT WITH THE BARISTAS THAT SERVE ME MY MORNING MACCHIATO. I DISLIKED YEASAYER BEFORE THEY WERE BORN. I FUCKING HATE THAT BAND. I ONLY LISTEN TO THE SOUND OF RUST FORMING ON THE UNDERCARRIAGES OF NORWEGIAN LUXURY SEDANS. I HAVE A VINTAGE RECORDABLE 90 MINUTE MAXELL CASSETTE TAPE THAT’S  JUST THE SOUND OF A VACUUM CLEANER LEFT ON IN AN EMPTY APARTMENT. IT’S MY FAVORITE RECORD. THAT SOUNDS AWESOME. IT ISN’T NOW THAT YOU SAID THAT.

Ahhh, these are so rad - Star Wars cuff links… awesome gift! (And I’m not going to write any of the corny lines going through my head right now..) Night then. (via If It’s Hip, It’s Here: May the Force Be On Your French Cuffs. A Whole New Slew of Star Wars Cuff Links.)

Don’t Stop by Foster the People… now y’all have yourselves an AWESOME little day there!! 

I said don’t stop don’t stop don’t stop talkin’ to me…

What to do on a rainy day… I remember having a book by a similar title as a kid of about 9 (and because then we used to play outside all the time.. and there were no computers, or MNET even, being stuck inside was serious punishment…) and you could only play Donkey Kong (or the garden guy one that sprays the worms, what was that called again?) so many times. In this book were all kinds of experiments - the only one I remember, because it totally didn’t work, was to blindfold someone (or yourself - yes, only child) and <blind> select & take a bite of a raw potato /or an apple (both peeled obviously).. and supposedly not being able to tell the difference between the two.. bleg.. either it was a silly number, or I was lacking in reading comprehension skills! So here are some things I got up to this weekend, being stuck inside and all…luckily nothing to do with blindfolds or uncooked root-vegetables.  1. Rainbow spotting (ok, that was Friday, but I’m counting it as weekend as it was after 12 ;), 2. Writing winter songs in bed, with a guitar and a cup of coffee (lyrics went something along the lines of ‘Saturday mooorrrning, lying in bed, kids are plaaaaying..’ super original stuff).. not a bad tune though - will work on it and you might hear it someday.. or not..  3. DIY relooking furniture - actually turned out quite cool thanks to that sheet of sandpaper..  4. Folding Origami Hearts - It kept me well busy as I folded and folded and unfolded and folded until I finally admitted to myself that I had actually forgotten how, it’s been a while. So I reminded myself with an online tutorial.. some more time spent searching to find the right one, only to realise that the paper shape was wrong from the start.  Duh. Not sure how long I can still blame kids and lack of sleep for my diminished brain power, I’m secretly hoping forever.  Aaaaanyhoo.. This day ain’t going nowhere without some participation from my part..  Have a super Monday folks! I’ll follow up with a tune to kick this winter day in its cold behind!  xxD

Wow. I&#8217;m having some serious fashion envy right now.. More teal than green. Kate Middleton looks just gorgeous in this dress by Jenny Packham - worn for the Our Great Team Rises event at the London Royal Albert Hall. There are loads more pics on the Marie Claire UK site (where I borrowed the KM pic from.. thanks!).. I wish I could get all dressed up and go somewhere nice! I seriously have not done that in years.. (oh dry your eyes now!)..  xxD
