Paradise

by Coldplay

Life goes on
It gets so heavy
The wheel breaks the butterfly
Every tear, a waterfall
In the night, the stormy night
She closed her eyes
In the night, the stormy night
Away she’d fly

Blackout

by Breathe Carolina

I’m only getting started, I won’t blackout
This time I got nothing to waste
Let’s go a little harder
I’m on fire, I won’t blackout
I’m on my way

I’m only getting started and I can’t see your face
Cigarette the wrong way, Inhale to the top of my lungs
Are you dying for this?

This song has been getting a lot of play in my car. It’s far too addicting for its own good, much like those Brownie Cookie Cups I made the other day. :)

{ Brownie batter divided into 12 cupcake tins, topped with a spoonful of cookie dough batter (from scratch - it’s better. trust me!). Bake @ 350 for 25-ish minuets. Let cool and destroy. OMG! }

Immigrant Song

by Trent Reznor, Atticus Ross, Karen O, Trent Reznor & Atticus Ross

We come from the land of the ice and snow,
From the midnight sun where the hot springs flow.
The hammer of the gods will drive our ships to new lands,
To fight the horde, singing and crying: Valhalla, I am coming!

Saw the movie, reading the book, loving the character of Lisbeth and this song a lot. :)

Melted Crayon Art

I opted to use my dad’s heat gun (instead of a hair dryer) to melt the crayons - mainly because I had no desire to sit on the floor for an hour to make one canvas. The crayons started melting within seconds with the heat gun. A-maz-ing.

 

Of course, this is a lot of fun so naturally I got a bit carried away and made more… a lot more. :)

Mr. Rager

by Kid Cudi

When will the fantasy end?
When will the Heaven begin?

- - -

This song is not something you’d normally find in my music collection, but it’s touched me because of this story. Maybe you’ve seen it on the news or heard about Ben Breedlove through an e-mail forward… either way we should all take a moment to watch and reflect.

Joy Formidable - Whirring

This much delight
Fills columns to new heights
All these things about me you never can tell

Colours run prime
Paint a picture so bright
All these things about me you never can tell
You make me sleep so badly invisible friend

Turn the dial on my words
I can feel them fall short
Turn the dial, chime alarm
Watch these hands move apart
Turn the dial on my words

I can see you staying here

Fierce steps shadow, Life’s will gone shallow
All these things about me you never can tell
You make me sleep so badly invisible friend

Turn the dial on my words
I can feel them fall short
Turn the dial, chime alarm
Watch these hands move apart
Turn the dial on my words

I can see you staying here

The King And All Of His Men

by Wolf Gang

You took her soul, so incomplete
Why don’t you stop fighting me?
You’re in control
So why should you be fighting me?

This is just a fun song to listen to. :)

Movies I plan on seeing during CHRISTmas break :)

It’s not often that there’s more than one movie in theaters I actually want to waste two hours of my life watching. At least I can finally start using the $80 I have in Regal gift cards from previous CHRISTmas-es and birthdays.

and maybe… The Sitter. Just maybe.

Time To Pretend

by Mgmt

This is our decision to live fast and die young.
We’ve got the vision, now let’s have some fun.
Yeah it’s overwhelming, but what else can we do?
Get jobs in offices and wake up for the morning commute?

- - -

Love it <3 I didn’t want to repeat another band, but I’ve been listening to this a lot in the car. MGMT is such an amazing band. :)

My first scarf is now approximately 38&#8221; long. No where near being finished yet, of course, but it&#8217;s getting there. A trip to Michaels tomorrow is required so I can get another skein of this yarn. I think I&#8217;m going to tackle fringe for the ends since I&#8217;ve been making pom poms for all my hats thus far.

She & Him Christmas music + loom knitting =♥

I finally sat down and figured out how to use my rectangle long loom to make a scarf. :) It’s not too shabby for my first, at least so far.
