Currently lovin' on these books...

Heat by Bill Buford


and

Dead Until Dark by Charlaine Harris.

(the inspiration for the popular tv series True blood)


Both books are super entertaining, check them out!

Funny People

Last night was date night and we decided
to go old school...to the movies to see
Funny People. Although it was indeed funny,
there are some serious undertones that deal
with love, death, infidelity, and friendship.

Anyone who enjoys Judd Apatow + his crew
will definitely enjoy this film as well.

ah, Sookie Sookie!

thanks to Mint Julep who mentioned True Blood
on her blog, I now have another obsession.
Who would've thought?

Also thinking of starting the
Sookie Stackhouse series, but
I've been lazy to do anything
(as previously stated) that
requires thought or movement.
We'll see.

i'm down with the sickness...

i learned to ride the lambretta this weekend...
i had no idea it would be so exciting and liberating!

De La Torre Brothers in 'Burque!

these amazing brothers will be at the
National Hispanic Cultural Center on
Thursday, lecturing on their current exhibit.
Their work is so interesting and exciting, I
hope to catch their presentation!



(this is just a TINY piece of their awesomeness!)

Calexico... free show!

I love me some music...
and free shows? Oh yeah.











If you're in the 'Burque this weekend, Calexico
is playing a free show at UNM's Johnson Field,
which is walking distance from our house. So
excited, these guys are great!

The last time I saw them was at the Launchpad about
5 years ago. AND, Joey Burns and John Convertino
are ALSO opening for Neko in May! Yay!

get to hear her sing it live in may!

great start for summertime music!

Happy Monday~ the "I WANT THIS" edition.

Yes, the time of the year to think of (yourself) others and
the things they need (want) is creeping upon us (already?!).

In case any of you were wondering, here's a little list of
the things I need (want). Feel free to pick out something
for yourself..

1. This shotgun shell thermos.


2. To "run into" my (other) hot, Scottish boyfriend and
my (other) hot, older boyfriends while filing in N.M. ,
Ewan McGregor and George Clooney... this version of them:


3. Homemade grilled cheese sandwiches... like, 100 of them.


See, I'm fairly easy to please...

Discover Jenny Lewis With The Watson Twins!

high fidelity

is one of those books that can be re-read a hundred times and
it never gets old. the film version is pretty entertaining as well.

Happy Wednesday

It's already Wednesday, can you believe it?

Anyhow, here's a little rundown of what
I've been up to lately... exciting. I know.

1. Had a really great time this weekend at my
first ever photo show. Basically 20 people
were chosen to display and possibly sell a
photo of choice at a bar Downtown. I was
just happy to hang my photo so imagine my
excitement when it sold almost immediately!
A lucky (+ nice!) guy is now the owner of
this, except REAL. 8x8 was the photo size:

I took pictures of it hanging with my little
tag info but they came out too dark. I may
post them anyway.



2. Watched a silly yet entertaining movie...
Wanted with good looking people, I might add.
Like this fella. He's short but very handsome.

3. Excited to visit D.C. again and my bff... of
course we're going to a show...Built to Spill who've
I've seen many a time but are always so. damn. good.

I suppose that's about it...anything exciting on your side?

OH HELL YEAH!

Girl crush Jenny Lewis will be in the 'Burque
in few weeks @ the Sunshine Theater and I'm
sooo excited! Any local gals up for the show,
give me a holla! Woo-hoo!
