on my wishlist: a new bike shelf

look look LOOK at the goody jamie has turned me onto today:

just LOOK at this

beyond perfect for my new yellow bicycle

for when we have a bigger house

with room to hang things on walls

...like bicycles

or maybe we can just hang it in krishnan's room for now?

he seems to have ample space and an affinity for shelves

our friday evening:

{fojol brothers food truck}

FIRST STOP:

cubside cookoff. potentially one of the coolest things DC has ever planned

indian food and french fries for dinner? i think so.

NEXT:

out with these sexy ladies for a continuation of summatime constafun

...

SOOOOooooo happy it's friday

time to leave work!

PEACE

yeehaw!

shipping out on 18th, baby!

appalachia - HERE I COME

it will be my goal for the 2-week trip to procure this here hat

i'll be taking orders for the rest of the week

let me know how many you want!

.-.-.-.

also, i got to see these guys last night

WHAT. A. SHOW

you'll get hooked

i have to share this recent release by exciting producer/artist Marc Ronson. Record Collection officially came out last week and this track is quite addicting:

{bang bang bang, marc ronson feat. MNDR and q-tip}

and i thought this killer song would be a good way to celebrate M Street Ballers

100th post!

new tunes Tuesday. Round 22. the many sounds of Justin Vernon

most who know Justin Vernon know him for his work with Bon Iver, and his 2008 gloomy/introspective release Emma, Forever Ago. the album took off and showcased his mellow, folk aesthetic with songs like Skinny Love.

but he's moving on, working with every artist under the sun, and taking on these great new sounds:

{come talk to me, bon iver}

{faded high, gayngs}

{lost in the world, kanye west featuring justin vernon}

baltimore

got to spend last weekend with my family in baltimore
strolling around the inner harbor, exploring some cute neighborhoods,
making new friends (way to go, mom), and watching the yankees crush the O's.

{aunt linda, uncle vinny, mom, dad, me}

FUN FAMILY FACT: uncle vinny was a pitcher for the Cubs in the '70s!

...and now has converted to a yankees fan :)

{my mom and her new friends}

{she may just be the most excited fan at the game}

{nothing better than a late afternoon ball game}

{beautiful stadium}

{hanging out at batting practice}

what i want right now

::to be wrapped up in the coziest sweater::

::cuddled in bed::

::with a huge mug of hot cocoa::

::engrossed in the city paper::

::with nina nastasia playing in the background::

crappiest weather ever today!

i wish i could extend my busy weekend

with an extra day just for lounging
