on repeat. better off as two

 I'm loving heavy beats.  This is a good thing for a wife of a drummer.

 

Frankmusik delivers fun, beat driven music...

Perfect to listen to while dancing at the club.

or running at the gym (don't know much about this one, just guessing.)

or DWD (dancing while driving- this may not be a real acronym, but i'm rollin' with it.)

or while trying to talk yourself into skiing down a double black diamond WAY out of your league. (Trust me. It works.)

 

Add to mix fun happy lyrics and I'm all in.

 

ATTENTION: With all this information I'm sure you're itching to press play.

First, please do me a favor. Turn up the volume and turn away from the computer.

Yea... the video is simply horrible. Good for the ears- not the eyes.

 

 

 

I'd love to know what you thought! Too cheesy? To teen? Or willing to think about it?

Lovin it.

Justin keeps me hip.

Lets me in on whats now. whats hot.

When he sends me stuff like this I fall in love with him all over again...

 

 

The orginal artist singing it live: GOTYE- Somebody I use to know.

 

Maybe it's just me... but his voice during the chorus.... just yummy. sexy.

 

 

And an ridiculously awesome cover. WATCH IT.

 

 

Thanks for keeping me cool baby. Or at least letting me think I'm cool.

craft lake city

a few weeks ago (july 28th) this cute boy took me to a concert...

we listen to Land of Talk and M.Ward.... i enjoyed the music.

my favorite part was the time together,

and being outdoors.

(i recommend any free thursday night being spent similarly at the Gallivan Center's Twilight Concert series. that is saying a lot considering how much i don't enjoy concerts... does your back hurt after?)

i did see a poster for the craft fair i am participating in this weekend...

it made being a part of craft lake city real. 

deep breaths.

then courtney brought in a slug mag... all about craft lake city.

almost tore my hair out...

i have been making stuff like crazy, but true to myself i bit off more then i can chew. so now i just repeat, "it will turn out great. craft lake city will be a success." during my late night crafting sessions.

and it will be.

if you read my blog you know how nervous i was for the last show. this one has the added stress of being a big deal... it has been advertised on the radio, news, magazines, etc...

it will turn out great. craft lake city will be a success!

i hope you can come. i don't know what booth i am yet... (what better excuse to browse everywhere?) but i REALLY hope you can come and say hi.

here is the beta:

the poster doesn't mention it... but i will be around from 2-9pm.

it will turn out great. craft lake city will be a success!

about concerts

you know it is time to blog post when you stop planning out or replaying conversations in your head... (does anyone else do this?) and start to working out the exact wording for a blog post about whatever is happening at that moment.

this happened to me the other night... okay three weeks ago during the best concert i have ever been to...

warning: long side note. justin- stop reading here! really. i mean it.

some of you might not understand the importance of what i just said... i go to A LOT of concerts. i am married to a music geek (i told you to stop reading!) who not only loves music but performs on a pretty regular basis. i go to 98% his shows. we are talking average 2 shows a month- nothing overwhelming i know... no reason to complain.

it is just that justin also loves to go to other people shows. (yes he is very considerate and doesn't ask me to go to any show he doesn't think i will enjoy. and because i know you are still reading: thank you.)

really to get down to the meat of it... i now associate concerts with pain running up and down my legs from standing without any reprieve of walking about, with a headache from music so loud i can't hear it (someone out there will understand), with feet that are bruised the next day, with long waits for the actual band you came for (if you know me in the slightest, you know i am HORRIBLE at waiting),  and worst- smelly sweaty people rubbing up against me. ick.

and to help in this crazy explanation about how amazing this concert was- i have been to some pretty freakin' cool concerts. example #1: right when i started to push my way into justin's life (aka. dating) he did the nicest thing; he asked me to a ben harper concert. (not just any tickets- VIP baby... there was a couch.) oh and in January we headed to vegas to see bjork's last show in the US... (for non-music junkys this was a very big deal. very expensive. very... just... well.. Very Very)  but even at the end of these my legs hurt; i had a headache, i was hungry and over all not my best self....

enter Sia. justin introduced me to her music a while ago- really mellow, great lyrics, and soulful voice (total justin style music.) when he mentioned her being in town i was up for it... thought it might be a chill concert. (if anyone wants to hear the whole long story call me, lets to lunch... i love lunch dates! eeck... off subject again.)

say the least the first 3 (yes THREE) bands before her were terrible. this is putting it nicely... example: the guy just before her ended up in his underwear on stage singing to a computer program with other horrible voice on it. yes. bad. really really bad.)

finally- enter Sia. i think she was better live... and that is saying alot considering her albums are fantasic. she had energy and was hilarilous. the best sense of humor. again to put it into perspective (doing that a lot in this post) i went up and asked for the set list...

i know! not like me at all... but you have to hear this lady sing! oh and her band is pretty great too. (got the set list of her keyboardist.) i love it so much i feel the need to have the whole world listening. i will buy it for the first person who wants the cd... (just make a comment) it runs constantly on my computer and i am willing to share the love.

speaking of music... how do my two readers feel about music when you open the blog? does it create a good vibe or is it just annoying? and just to consider in this little vote i would make it the kind you could turn off on the side ----> anyone?

oh... the reason i got into concert... i have been planning on how to write and tell you all about how great the night with justin and sai turned out to be... literally PLANNING how to share my daily life....
and splat- this is the end result. not a lot of wit today...  but that is still weird isn't it? THINKING about how i will present my somewhat exciting life to the few people who read this...

oh well- it is 8:30 on a saturday morning- why am i even up? (to talk to you- because YOU matter!) i really have enjoyed hearing what people think about my crazy thoughts... i love reading the comments! so keep them coming friends.

justin i am coming back to snuggle!

just the normal craziness

is it normal to read 40+ blogs? i was having trouble keeping up with all of them until my good friend michelle mentioned google reader... this is exciting stuff! it checks all your daily reading blogs and shows you which ones have posted. hours, maybe even days have been saved thus far. apparently that means no more excuses on not posting on my blog. i love it when people post daily, but... i can't be witty daily. (maybe i am kidding myself that i can- at times- be witty.) SO... my new goal is weekly! (setting those standards low.)

life has been happily busy since my last post... last night a great dinner with a large group of friends to wish Shanna a happy birthday. HAPPY BIRTHDAY. i realized at this dinner, that single/dating women put on a number of airs... 'i don't talk about farts, that disgusting...' etc. (i won't go into the other subjects we covered for the gentle eyes that maybe reading) but once we marry we give in! we become a one of the guys... and suddenly all those icky things we scorned become ok.

i couldn't stop laughing at dinner... everything was so funny! my crazy friends have stepped it up a notch since marriage. i then come home to four guys (cory mon was here at his second home) and listen to the same sorts of disgusting jokes... (i will admit they were bumped up a bit- these are single guys talking to other single guys, about single guy stuff)- the light bulb clicked on- we sink to the level of our husbands! some time during the dating process we think- we can handle this, put up with that... until it is to late! we have given in.      

oh the shame!  or... MAYBE we just learn to relax and have fun. which is true?  ...it depends on my mood. (the blessing of being a female.)

on the rest of the docket... the hubby had a fun show with his band, Code Hero, last week. i love watching him play, love hearing the music, but hate trying to get pictures in these dark places!

i used film... (no dslr for this girl until is out of debt!) and this what i got:

not lovin' it...  i think the panio and rhodes pic was my favorite, though still nothing to get excited about...

and don't you fret your little mind... i will keep everyone up to date on justin's rise to fame. he is already my personal rockstar. now we just have to bring the rest of band up to snuff... check them out and email me if you would like to come to their shows. they are all ubber talented and know how to give a great show. (i was just joking about that band thing nate, relax.)

on other foreign shores... i have been working a little on my craftiness... even had a craft night with michelle (she painted and spilled the beans about google reader), amy (who is an amazing 3rd grade teacher prepared work for later that week... ugh.) and daniella (wrote down all the quotes from my plethora of stickers.) i worked my calender of the first year of marriage- (we really might be having too much fun.)  i came to the decision that more of crafty nights are needed... good food, girl talk, and throwing creativeity around- could life get any better? anyone out there like to come? anyone?

the night before i finished up this layout:

then i changed the top right hand corner to this...

here are a couple more details...

all the fabric is from different projects that are special to our relationship... ah... how cute!

this layout resulted from justin not liking to look at his own face...? i don't understand either, but here is the story:

we printed this beautiful 16x20 for our wedding dinner. picture this.... you walked into my parents house  from the rain and you behold our beautiful faces. (insert chorus of heavenly angels)... why would anyone what to look anywhere else?

when we got back from our honeymoon i promptly put the picture up in our room. after all where else would it go? duh, right? later that day i came home to find it gone... disappeared.  i found it a few days later hidden by boxes in our room. tried again in a new location, it was perfect... perfectly missing within the hour! after the picture went mia a few more times it  vanished for good. i asked again and again... justin just shrugged his shouldered and suggesting we could establish terms and conditions for our pretty picture... "i just don't want to look at myself... if we could cut me out... then it would be great." ugh and evil glare. (but to no avail.) so... as any new swayable wife i gave up- made it into a scrapbook page... it works... but don't be fooled justin! you may have won this time, but in the end i always get my way! (somewhat evil cackle)

love you honey.
