The Tiniest of Canvases

As a girl, there are certain things that bring me joy that boys just don't understand. One of these things is nail art. I'm not speaking for all girls, because I know many who don't like to paint their nails. But as for me, I love it. I don't consider myself an artist, but if I do say so myself, I can come up with some pretty good combinations and designs when it comes to nails. I don't know what it is, but I love discovering color combinations that are flattering or interesting, and trying new things, like pasting newspaper print on top of pale pink polish. It's an outlet for creativity and a form of self-expression that's both fun and aesthetically pleasing. I can't tell you how much time I spend ogling the shelves of nail polish at local drugstores and supermarkets. Don't even get me started on Sephora's collection...

They're like the Vinyls of the 90's

Recently, I posted a picture on Instagram of the cover of the new Paramore album, "Paramore," with the caption "I still buy CDs because I'm paranoid that iTunes will crash one day and I'll lose all my music." And it's true. I like the physicality of a CD and the insurance it brings. Plus, back in the day, I had a pretty impressive CD collection, and some habits die hard. I started out only buying CDs in which I liked the artist and wanted the whole album. That's still the case, but I'm beginning to branch out and change my conditions for purchasing CDs. If I like the majority of the songs on the album, and wish to buy it, I'll buy the physical copy. Also, somewhere in the back of my mind is the want to show my future kids my music collection, the same way my parents so proudly present to me their records from high school. You just can't get that kind of sentimentality with a $1.29 digital copy of a song.

Monsters and Ghosts and Spirits, Oh My!

Ok, so this isn't one of the two posts that I'm working on that I told you about in the last post. But I just have to tell you about this show that I am getting into. It's called "Supernatural," and I absolutely love it. I'm only about halfway through the first season, but Netflix has 7 out of the 8 whole seasons, and I intend to stream them all this summer.

The show itself is about these 2 brothers who drive across the country hunting evil entities, to protect innocent humans. So far, in season one, the continuing storyline consists of the brothers searching for their father, who disappeared 3 weeks prior to the commencement of their "road trip," and is looking for the demon thing that killed his wife/their mother. I say so far because I know from Tumblr posts that the storyline changes. But so far, the show is so addicting. It's like a different horror movie every episode, and normally, I hate horror movies, but for some reason, I keep coming back for more. And for some other reason, I'm perfectly ok with that.

Progress in Progress

Currently, I am preparing two separate posts, but am much too tired to create anything worth publishing at the moment. So instead, I'm going to quickly present to you the new music video for the song "Boomerang" by The Summer Set. It. Is. Wonderful. :) Enjoy. ;)
