revolution.

today i am listening to: princess chelsea - the cigarette duet

i was different then, i don't need them to be cool

all the pretty girls stare at pretty girls

i like it best when

the music happens like this:

something in his eye grabs hold of a

tambourine in

me,

then i turn and lift a violin in someone else,

and they turn,

and this turning

continues,

it has

reached you now.

isn't that

something?

this weekend i got to dance the night away to celebrate

the most beautiful wedding and the most beautiful bride

libby wolfe no more. we love us some mrs. moss! xo

and over the next few weeks i'll be dancing with numbers and judgement galore.

hello auditions.

watch me dance dance revolutionize my life

"a life spent making mistakes is not only more honorable,

but more useful than a life spent doing nothing" - george bernard shaw

seventeen

today i'm listening to (watching): kishi bash - it all began with a burst

a one-man-orchestra, a messy tie, a martini.

yum. yum. YUM.

is anything better than full-fledged

ephemeral art?

nod to the ephemerals....

oh, and no.

birds are singing loud this morning

and my heart is in london.

is there anything better than the olympics?!

and could those opening ceremonies be any more beautiful?

(shout out to the lovely, laban-ite volunteers xo)

but damn.

there goes my life for the next 17 days...

but damn.

i think i'm coming down

with a nasty case of that travel-bug again

but damn.

my trip fund

(made solely out of my tip funds)

is next to nothing....

never thought i'd be dreaming of coat check....

SEGUE!

...speaking of travel

matt's done it again

...AND speaking of beautiful things:

An elevated discourse on the moving image,

modern art,

and performance in

5, 4, 3, 2...

(grab some tissues)

look at me being all linksy today!

(whoever said less is more, clearly never had more.)

"one dreamed of becoming something, another remained awake and became"

until then i'm dreaming of magic lollipops,

borough market, and david beckham on a speed boat.

beyond

today i am listening to: tennis - marathon

marathon how long we've gone

and still not yet set a foot upon you

hello gorgeous!

a few weeks ago....

with a lake, a pot, and my favorite favorites

i was encouraged to keep on keeping on.

oh blog, you're like a sexy ex-boyfriend

i just can't quit.

call it a character flaw

so cheers to miss torie reed (you should really check her out)

and a

NEW york. NEW beginning. NEW outlook.

(i'd say "NEW me" but that's cliche.

and it's not... just a better (cuter, cooler, awesomer) version)

.... allow me to... reintroduce myself....

i feel taller.

i have a new rule:

it's to say

YES

yes

yes

yes

and i no longer ask permission

i'm in the market for some revenge

it's a beautiful ting, it's a beautiful ting

so until then, i can't explain it.

but i can make you feel it.

beyond.
