True Love Will Find You In The End

Spent the first day of winter break cleaning out my room and unpacking (all while periodically having my mom come upstairs and remind me that I was crazy for bringing home my WHOLE dorm room), but there's something about unpacking that is so fulfilling...maybe it’s the instant gratification one receives after seeing the once clutter put away into its designated areas. While cleaning my closet I found old, unused covers that I had bought two years ago, so I gave my bed a makeover - it went from being adorned with silky limegreen and skyblue sheets to curduroy pinkpurpleandlaceybrown sheets. The change is easy on the eyes and I am thankful for the less dusty environment. After that I cleaned my purse - that sounds like such an insignificant thing to write about, but for me it really isn’t - this purse held everything from a pedometer to SD beach sand in it. wow. But now it's only full of the essentials, even though I've always wanted to be one of those mary-poppins-perfected-the-half-smile-I’ve-got-the-whole-world-in-my-purse types.

Other than cleaning I also went on a fantastic run today! Running in home air always beats any other air, even though we’re in a valley and we get all of LA’s pollution and all of SF’s nastiness. (I still <3 you SF & LA). I saw one of my elementary school friends walking into his house as I was running, but at the time I felt that I was too into my run to say hello, I regret it now - I hate sidestepping conversations . I’ll go ring his doorbell tomorrow and say hello.

For the past couple of hours I’ve been sitting in my room with a tahitian vanilla candle lit, reading Movie Love in the 50’s, and taking periodic uke breaks. I’m taking on the biggest feat I’ve ever attempted in the uke arena of my life, but I cannot divulge that information just yet...I’m planning on making a lot of music this break, as well as contributing a lot to Songmeanings.net. There’s a list building up on my desktop of all the songs I want to add my input on, so can’t wait to get started on that.

OH and I think I have finally solved the problem for my stop motion film writer’s block. A song must be chosen first, and the film shall be based off of the song. Any suggestions?

I will leave you with this new find that combines three favorite (stopmotion. ukulele. robots.) to make one brilliant video:

La Vie En Rose.

I'm finally on winter break! Three weeks to do anything I'd like without the guilt of not studying! Big plans (some of which I will inform you of later)...but my biggest plan as of now is to get some zzz's, so I will leave you with my latest YouTube find, Pomplamoose:

cutest single ladies cover I've ever heard:


la vie en rose cover - her voice is so zooey deschanel, no? and the instrument implementation is perfect!


Expect an influx of posts in the next few days. goodnight!
