Watermelon + vodka + a good book + a mixed tape = a great summer day

Paper Planes - M.I.A
Summer Skin - Death Cab for Cutie
Sleeping In - The Postal Service
Strawberry Swing - Coldplay
No Rain - Blind Melon
My Girl - The Temptations
Daylight - Matt and Kim
In the Summertime - Mungo Jerry
My Lady - The Moody Blues
Myriad Harbour - The New Pornographers


Also, I clearly lied about the post-post for Anita. That will be tonight or next Tues.

  3. Alex 1 - They are so sweet.
    2 - I think you're on to something...

    Lily - It was an easy sell, wasn't it?

  4. Anita - I know, but I had the past two days off and it just didn't make sense for me to get all dolled up. If I remember, I'll have someone snap the shot today and work and I'll post it tonight. Okay? Okay.

  7. Dude, that video's a trip. Where do you find this stuff? I LOVE it. And we so need to get together and share some watermelon and vodka. Tell me you have plans to visit some grandma in Indy soon.

    And what's this about a post post? I'm so out of the loop. Must now go back and see what I missed. Or wait until tonight. Or hope my ESP kicks in.

  10. Thank you for helping me feel closer to cool - Deathcab for Cuties was formed here in Bellingham, WA. Not that I personally had anything to do with that, but still...

  14. WHOA, I LIKE THAT SONG.

    Also great list of songs, dude! I would add The XX to the list too cause they're on my playlist atm and make me feel summery. Don't know why.

    Also, I would join an younglings place thing (from up there I saw a suggestion)(I think)(It took me so long to get down here I'm not sure anymore)(sorry, Mia fail) cause a)I iz 19 and b) I act about 3 so c) even people younger than me treat me as a child ergo d)it should happen.

    *nods* :)
