the city's changed as much as a small city can...

ok, it's been far too long, blog. but practically everyone is home for the long weekend besides me (i'm going home next weekend instead), so this is the perfect opportunity to write in this lil' thing.

various musings:
-i didn't think i would be too happy about it, but i am actually welcoming fall with open arms. i always associate boston with this season for some reason, and it's absolutely gorgeous here right now. i've still been walking home from school for the past week or so and i love it.

-school's going great (well, besides me probably failing yesterday's stats test..uhhh?). i especially love my marketing class and my copywriting class is really challenging but for some reason the teacher really likes my stuff.

-the nightlife here is so brilliant! last weekend, jenny and i ventured out to allston to the pill at great scott and it was such a cool little rock bar- we saw some random band play, and then after a PBR or so, we danced to the smiths, stevie wonder, and various britpop...i was in heaven!! we also went to PAPER on thursday with two of her roommates and it was the best one yet- the dude from nightmare of you was DJing with Ultragrrrl (i have a book by her on playlists, so i knew she would have good taste). they friggin' played "Freedom" by george michael!! and i'm sure i was the only person in there that knew the words. oh well. we got two more pictures taken, but i haven't seen them yet. hopefully i fared better this time.

-what else? um, we went to a pretty cool jazz festival last saturday too after strolling down newbury street. woo!

-the new degrassi owns my life and everyone needs to watch it...k thanks.

-i made an actual chicken/stuffing dinner thing last night and could not believe i made such a delicious meal.

-laura and i love the woman at dunkin' donuts who knows our order every morning and has our coffees ready before we even get up to the register. holla.

a great fall playlist!

here are four songs that have been getting a lot of rotation from me lately, and they have a "fall" vibe to them (or at least they do to me). and you can download them all! golly gee, it's awesome.

french kicks- so far we are (this one's essential!)
paper moon- string of blinking lights
hot iqs- firecracker
tokyo police club- cheer it on

enjoy!

haha yeaaah for fall wardrobe! i on the other hand baaasically only own short sleeve stuff so it kind of sucks right now.

i am so glad you enjoy the mix! it kind of become unintentionally british/britpop/dancish? but hey, that can't be a bad thing i suppose!
