LCD Soundsystem- All My Friends

I bought tickets today for LCD Soundsystem, the Lone Star Jam festival this Sat (Eli Young Band, Jack Ingram, Honeybrowne, etc.), Greg Laswell, and ACL (lineup not announced until May). What that says about my ADD taste in music- I’m not sure, but I am kinda sad I couldn’t also buy tickets to Miike Snow. They are playing the same night as LCD Soundsystem but with a more expensive price. Any hope that maybe they’ll be at ACL? 

Signs

When I was growing up we used to take biannual trips to St. Louis to see my grandparents. One of the things I remember very vividly about their two-story colonial is the smell of the honeysuckle bushes along their sidewalk. My mom taught me to break them open and lick the inside to taste the sweet honey nectar. It is such a distinctive smell that I don’t think I smelled honeysuckle again until I moved to Austin. In the summer there are honeysuckle bushes that line the hill up to our apartment complex and on my walks with Easton the smell would hit me and instantly take me back. Crazy how strong smell is tied to memories. Anyway, the point of all of this was that since this summer I’ve wanted to reproduce that smell with some honeysuckle candles and haven’t found any I love. Today I got this email from Pier one to let me know they are on sale, and yesterday I got $40 in rewards to spend at Pier one. IT’S THE LITTLE THINGS PEOPLE.

Anyone else love honeysuckle this much?

Umm I don’t know what Jorge is trying to pull here, but I definitely thought of this first. Ask anyone, I always eat my cupcakes like this! It’s so much better then getting a bite of all icing, or worse- all cake. Try it next time, you’ll thank me (or Jorge).

Looking towards the future
We were begging for the past
Well we knew we had the good things
But those never seemed to last
Oh please just last

Someday when I own a house, I want to put every item that I’ve coveted from blogs the past few years inside of it. This would equal the most mismatched, eclectic style interior ever… but maybe that’s my actual taste- everything PLUS the kitchen sink. Anyway. Point is, I love this chandelier.
