So my bffs from way back, Alex and Nick (aka Mayhaw) have a new band (with 2 other cool kids, Colin & Maren). They are called the Spookies (pictured above) and they are totally awesomesauce. Check out their demos on bandcamp by clicking here. They played a super awesome show at the Know last weekend, with the Woolen Men and Paper Brain (who both were also good! click the links to their facebook pages). I had the privilege of taking photos for the Spookies at the show, which was really fun! I'll hopefully be uploading them all to flickr here at some point.
Other than that I haven't listened to all that much new music this year, so my top 5 list is more like a top 3. Woops. Is this what happens when you turn 30? You stop listening to new music, and forever listen to what you listened to in your 20s? Maybe, but whatevs. :) Here are the three albums that came out in 2011 that I managed to get into. No new bands here, just some old favorites with new albums. Pretty good stuff. Click on the links to go to the bands websites. :)
It has been sooooooooooooooooooooo long since I blogged, what is wrong with me?
Nothing really, I've just been a bit busy doing other things. :)
I went to the Oregon Coast, it was fun! I took lots of photos and video, which I may get around to posting here someday, no promises. :)
I started a facebook page for my photography, you can visit it here if you would like.
I've been watching a little bit of sitcoms on Hulu, The New Girl, The Office and Parks & Rec, they are good! :)
I went and saw Wil Wheaton vs Paul and Storm, that was super geeky funtimes. This cute geeky girl band opened for them, the Double Clicks, they are superduper, you have to check them out!
I've also been watching Wings on Netflix. Do you remember Wings? It's pretty great. There are a few Cheers crossovers for you Cheers fans.
I've been running! Well, walking/running with my buddy Rachael. We're doing that good old C25K program, and we're on week 4! Amazing!
I've also been trying to be super healthy eating lots of veggies and not eating lots of processed foods, which is something I usually try to do but I'm trying EVEN harder lately because it just feels good, you know?
I've been busy! Trying not to stress. I can do it! Posted a new pic to http://camillelorainephotography.wordpress.com/ go there to see it. I'll be posting another one next week, for realz, it's already in the pipeline! :) So how cute is this Regina Spektor video? Animated by a fan I believe. Birds are pretty cute. I know it's the cool thing to say, but it's true. :)
Cute plant.
Someone was watering this plant in the "lunch room" today. I put "lunch room" in quotes because it's really not a room, its very tiny, and you can't lunch in there. You can store your lunch in there though. Fridge. Anyway, back to this cute plant. It is cute, isn't it? I totally wanted to steal it. But obviously I didn't. I don't steal. This picture does not even show you how cute it is, it looks like a mini tree, and the trunk is like, braided. Very cute.
Cute mug.
Also cute, this snowman mug. It's so silly, but I like that snowman smile. I keep thinking of bringing in my own super duper mug into the office, because I have so many, I love a good mug. The ones here in the office are so random! I really like the idea of drinking out of a snowman mug in the summer. It probably gets neglected by most people except for during the month of December. Sad snowman.
I've got some really great photos I want to share here soon, from a trip out into the country a few weeks back. I need to get a roll of film developed first. That could take a while, knowing my track record with film development... but I will try to do it soon!
There is this little path that lives just on the other side of my apartment building, pictured below. Can you even handle how beautiful it is? I look out my living room sliding door at this cute little spot and take my pup for walks out there. It definitely makes living away from my home a tiny bit more bearable when I can look at this everyday!
