First Choice

Well, my post from last week is kind of ironic now because I'm grounded from Youtube... It's probably a good thing that I take a break from it though ☹.
This week I found an indie Spanish band called Los Hermanos McKenzie. I have no idea what their songs are saying even though I'm in Spanish 5 , but hopefully listening to them will help me learn through osmosis! My other favorite songs by them are Inutil and Trepado a un Arbol.

Here is the Playlist:
The Temptation of Adam - Josh Ritter
Heart it Races (cover) - Dr. Dog
Caught Me Thinkin - Bahamas
Tengo - Los Hermanos McKenzie
Pyotr - Bad Books
First Choice - Gabe Bondon

adios, es la leche,

Light Em Up

I was going to put something insightful, but it has come to my attention that Fall Out Boy is back and I cannot even process my excitement, okay.  The pop punk side of me is flailing right now.
So, here's the playlist because that's all I have to say:
"Hollywood" by Marina and the Diamonds
"Cameo Lover" by Kimbra
"Off To The Races" by Lana Del Rey
"Don't You Know Who I Think I Am?" by Fall Out Boy
"Flapper Girl" by The Lumineers
"Layla" by Eric Clapton
Bonus track: "Otherside (feat. Fences) [Ryan Lewis Remix]" by Macklemore & Ryan Lewis

Sum It Up Sunday: January 28 - February 3, 2013

Today is Sunday, actually its  Superbowl Sunday. I really wanted to be hyped up and peppy today, but then... Youtube... I'm pretty sure I have a Youtube addiction. Last night, for example, I thought it would be a great idea to subscribe to BertieBertG (the boy who played Malfoy's son in the last Harry Potter) and watch all his videos till 3am. I want to say it was worth it because BertieBertG is really handsome looking, but my dark circles and droopy eyelids are telling me it wasn't. The only excuse I have right now for this is the fact that I'm a teenager. But staying up till the am is what teenagers do, right?

I've currently been in love with velvet clothing.  I love how it feels and how it adds a different texture to an outfit.  I'll have to figure out how to incorporate it in the spring.  Or just not care and continue to wear velvet.

By the way, we shall be posting our Wants this Wednesday (tomorrow?), so stay tuned for that.

It's Alright

It's another Monday again. <Warning: Super long dairy post ahead!!!> These past couple of weeks have been  a rollercoaster of good and bad things.  First, lets start with exams. Overall I did really well on all of them. I even did well on my English exam where I had to write a creative excerpt for The Great Gatsby and I ended up saying that Gatsby killed Daisy. However, there was one exam I did very poorly on. Spanish. When I revealed the news to my parents, it seemed like time stopped because  they didn't blink at all for 5 minutes. Later my dad called me over and said "Sydney, are you having any boy problems?" That made me lol though.
Second, I lost two very important things: a diamond ring and my Sims 3 game. I couldn't find them anywhere I looked. But then something amazing happened. On Friday, I suddenly got the urge to wear a certain shirt and when I pulled it out the ring just flew out  of nowhere! As of now I'm feeling a weird mix of feelings. I feel both happy and disappointed at the same time, but hopefully the weeks ahead will leave me just feeling happy.

I hope you all have a very splendid week and enjoy my playlist!

Playlist:
"The Fisherman" by Dale Earnhardt Jr. Jr.
"Secrets Make Sounds" by French Cassettes
"It's Alright" by Opus Orange
"Woodwind" by Other Lives
"When I Was Your Man" by Bruno Mars
"Just a Friend" by Mario

update: my mom said she thinks she donated my sims 3 game to Salvation Army :(

Sum It Up Sunday: January 27, 2013

I'm not sure how to start these posts, so welcome to  last Sunday of January 2013! It's so crazy to think about.  It seems like the beginning of the year was just a few days ago.  This week, my area has been graced with a little bit of snow.  It was enough to get a delay and an early closing, which allowed me to watch even more movies (I've watched at least 13 since the beginning of the year....) and listen to music.  I took a break from being unproductive and went to the Salvation Army yesterday.  I bought a black, velvet maxi skirt for $4 and a purple, pleated maxi skirt that was also $4.  Sadly, the purple skirt is not the size six it suggested, so I may turn it into a shorter skirt. I also went to Ross where I got $5 heels (!!) and a grey tank top with silver skulls for $8.
