As the harsh reminders of the impending winter are upon us, I thought it might be a good time to re-watch this touching love letter to our fair city by Seven and Sixty Productions. I literally weep every time I see it (read: I'm totally crying right now). I hope they make another one- I would love to be in it. I promise not to cry on camera.
"Something about Minneapolis, it calls you back" It's true, so true.
As I mentioned before, I recently learned that I need glasses...computer glasses to be exact. I went on the search and here is what I came across on Zenni Optical. Despite the awesomeness and reasonable prices of these I ended up breaking the bank with another (name brand) pair- I like what I like, what can I say?
Feeling awfully inspired by the new graphic design exhibit at the Walker. Not that I needed any more stuff to spend money on, but I've always loved this song--

We all have them. The playlists we absolutely love but hope no one ever notices because it would beyond destroy any hipster cred we might have. Songs with lyrics that, as a social justicey, feminist, retro, elitist snob make my brain want to explode. But for some reason, as Shakira would say, "my hips don't lie"and I can't help from listening to them every time I need to clean or go to the gym get ready to go out. So here you go, my super embarrassing playlist of Fall 2011:
Don't judge too hard.
(PS. I have an extensive rant regarding the lyrics of "I Just Had Sex"- feel free to ask sometime!)
I am going to go paint and listen to Ratatat. Hopefully that restores some of the self-respect I just lost.
OK, kind of. Usually I get half way through a book and give up because I'm bored. Wonder which of these will actually make it to the finish line.

Oh and did I mention I need GLASSES(those are fake, duh)? I'm not totally disappointed. I look really cute in them. Apparently "computer glasses" are not a sham and my eyeballs are incapable of readjusting to the real world after a day of staring at a computer screen. Darn evolution, failing to keep up with advances in technology and the new world. Check back in to join me on my glasses hunt!
