I AND LOVE AND YOU.

I saw the end of The Avett Brothers set at Newport Folk Festival this past summer, and I kind of wrote them off as just another folk/rock/country hillbilly group. But recently, they've been playing on my iTunes more and more, and the other day I picked up an older album of theirs. Now I can't stop listening! They're like a sweet fusion of Kings of Leon, The Decemberists, Langhorne Slim, Conor Oberst, and Holy Ghost Tent Revival - but not too overbearing. The perfect combination. If that's what you're in to. But I highly recommend you let your ears try them out.



Kick off your boots, pour some Jack, sit back & relax.


SO GOOD, you won't regret it.

A NEW DECADE, A NEW PERSPECTIVE.

It's 2010, what up!

I can't believe a decade has gone by so quickly! I can't believe I was only 10 years old last decade! I can't believe all the hype and fear and superstition that surrounded the coming of Y2K! But I do believe that 2010 is gonna be a very good year indeed ...

My fam and I just got back from New York before the Times Square New Year's Eve craze. Last night we were invited to a Vegan Potluck party at my friend's house. Being non-vegan food lovers (meat! cheese! eggs!) we were kind of freaking out and worried that we wouldn't be able to make anything. We settled on cashew curry & coconut rice. If I do say so myself, It was pretty successful! The whole potluck was delicious! (Especially the desserts.) It was a pleasant & different (not to mention, healthy) way to ring in the new year, the new decade. Although I don't think I could ever go strictly vegan, I will resolve to be more vegan-conscious, I suppose. Open my mind to the diversity and variety of vegan foods. (How very Cambridge of me.)

As part of my resolutions (well, I suppose they're more like goals), I'm pushing myself to do more writing, especially to keep up this "blog". We'll see how this goes!

Cheers!

EMPIRE STATE OF MIND.

Take me out tonight
Oh, take me anywhere, I don't care ...





... Well, the pleasure - the privilege is mine
Oh, there is a light and it never goes out.
