FAVORITE SONGS OF THE WEEK:

For Real, Okkervil River

This is the kind of song you’d blast while riding in the passenger seat after a long evening of drinking. You’re not drunk, but you can feel the effects of your vodka soda’s with extra lemon. Your body is tired. There are four of you. No one’s speaking. The music is turned up loudly, and everyone’s staring out his or her windows. The lead singer’s voice is intoxicating. The sounds swiftly swing from mellifluous melodies to a melee of instruments and a pained voice.

Robbers, Cold War Kids

You’re getting ready to go to some “adult” party. Your attire befits the occasion… sleek black clothing. Your rollers are still in your hair. Lights are dimmed. Scented candles are lit. You’re picking out your earrings. Your glass of red wine follows you around your apartment. You don’t have shoes on. You don’t have slippers on. Your feet are protected by your black opaque knee highs, and you glide across your hardwood floors. Your speakers blast Robbers, and you hum as you bop around putting the final touches on your outfit and fill your "adult" purse with your Clinique Vintage Wine lipstick... you toss your keys in... they jingle just a bit, the sound pleases you... La Da Da Da Da Da.


TODAY:

It's Roughly 40 degrees here in San Francisco. Naturally, the heat is broken in our office. I'm wearing argyle fingerless gloves, a pale blue J Crew sweater with princess shoulders, a black wool coat, a stripped green on green My Morning Jacket Beanie, black pants, beat-up black Converse with black laces, and blue socks with dogs on them (!?!?! my mom gave them to me, and I haven't done laundry).

Wish I were here... under my covers. Watching my netflix, Layer Cake or the The Trials of Henry Kissinger Documentary or Lady in the Water.
