I love shoes…

Blowfish Hobbits
… Oh yea, and Jack! Because, amongst other things, he buys me super cute shoes (Blowfish’s Hobbit)! I’m looking forward to having many adventures in them!

And in other shoe news, I really really want these Atlanta Adidas. I just can’t bring myself to pay $85 for sneakers. And, like Jack said, I’d have to buy two pairs; one to wear and one to keep mint in the box. ;P

Return

Clouds
We had an amazing time this weekend in the capital of the South! Enjoyed a beautiful wedding, chilled with Morgan, Zack and pals, danced with my lovely, and drank with my cousins and brothers. I got both my Waffle House and Chick-fil-a fixes. Though I slept very little, all-in-all, I could not have asked for a better time! I’m sad that the above is the only picture I took the entire time there (but what a glorious picture it is!).

Midnight Plane to Georgia

Weekend trip to Atlanta, Georgia
This weekend I took a trip back to my hometown of Atlanta, Georgia. I managed to cram a ton of friends and family time into three short days. It was my cousin’s wedding shower and one of my best friend’s birthday. Not a whole lot of sleep happened, but who cares when your having so much fun! And, although Jack wasn’t able to join me on this trip, he gave me the best welcome-back reception ever!

Weekly Album: “Anti-Anti” by Snowden

snowden - anti-antiI’m starting a new thing here: going to have weekly music recommendations! So, to kick things off, I’m starting with Snowden, from Atlanta GA (peace up, A-town down!). I downloaded the album on a complete whim, a week and-a-half later it was still, pretty much, all I was listening to. Really impressive stuff, here! They’ve got some cool videos, too.

Rating: 7.2
Their name may come from Joseph Heller’s famously satirical Catch-22, and their record may be called Anti-Anti, but Snowden’s full-length debut is as flat-out passionate as you used to expect from Jade Tree. The title track is the manifesto, unabashedly enjoying its catchy/dumb intro and guitar smolder in a way that pleasantly betrays its origins far from the potentially stultifying self-consciousness of the only city that really matters, even as it bitterly mocks your “fashion drugs” and too-cool silence. “One time we believed, but now it’s passing and cliché,” Jeffares’ deep voice tells me, “And she’ll say anything to make you move again.” Fuzz-bass-smoked “Between the Rent and Me” cuts closer: “What do you think I am/ Or do you think at all?”
