With Roses in Her Eyes

Sometimes when it rains, all I do is sprawl out on my bed and put on In the Aeroplane Over the Sea. The grotesque beauty is compelling.

Jeff Mangum is my soulmate, only thirty years late.

Life on the Nickel

Things that have made me very very happy of late

1. Heaps of books: Shakespeare, Whitman, Eugenides, Kundra and Edgar Allan Poe

2. Long lunches at nice restaurants with people I've missed.

3. Live music at interesting places

4. Naps.

5. Eight seasons of Grey's Anatomy and four of 30 rock

6. Jones the Grocer and their multitude of teas

7. She & Him's Christmas album

8. My Tumblr dashboard

9. My Gold Motel Package that traveled across the world thrice in six months. It's no longer summer, but the tunes are still good

10. Exams are over, school is out for six weeks!

In an exceptionally good mood. I can take on the world! Happy thanksgiving and turkey gobbling to everyone!

Experiments with comfort food

Isn't it horrifying how food becomes your one and only comfort when it comes to studying for exams? I can't tell you how many times I've walked to the refrigerator, opened it, closed it, opened it again, taken out leftover ratatouille/apple juice/ a fossilized chocolate biscuit after five minutes of study. It's driving me mad!

And just once, I would like my parents to walk into my room while I'm knee-deep in lecture notes and studying, instead of when I'm watching season two of Grey's Anatomy. Once! Just one more week of this recurring nightmare, and hello holidays and Christmas and all that jazz :)

'You are a great champion. When you ran, the ground shook, the sky opened and mere mortals parted. Parted the way to victory, where you'll meet me in the winner's circle, where I'll put a blanket of flowers on your back.'

The Honest Truth

 

All my time I’ve walked a filed line 
I’ve held a vacant sign upon my eyelids 
All my time O’ Lord I’ve been so blind 
but now I see the light
peek through my door-jamb

This is Neutral Milk Hotel & Arcade Fire & Sylvia Plath & chamber music, rolled into one beatific mess.

Recently on the Vampire Diaries

Excuse me while I cry over the hotness which is Paul Wesley. Hey, at least it's not twilight! Twilight should actually learn a thing or two from the vamp diaries. Like actually casting a good-looking person, just ONE, that has more personality than a wooden pencil.

Officially a vampire diaries convert and not slightly ashamed of it.
