School of Seven Bells – ‘Disconnect from Desire’

Wednesday, July 21st, 2010
Note 0

Since I’ve been stuck on BBC 7, (yes I have a things for BBC audio books and very much like spending my time listening to their vast collections of stories) I seem to never be able to fight my music roots and end up wandering back time and time again to find some new music to add to my mix. School of Seven Bells second album ‘Disconnect from Desire’ is filling in my time quite nicely and has been adding up in count plays within the last few days. I remain engaged.

Fresh, new ( well to me ) and out of control I bring you School of Seven Bells.

How could I not?

My Oh My Wendi. You have done it again! It is hard to turn you head at work this beautiful. So much so that it will of course have to be added to my endless collection of interior inspirations. I think that each time I find a new “idea”  that it will forever hold it’s charm and luster in my eyes and that nothing could ever top it. My how that is soo far from the truth.

I love design, in whatever shape, form, and mass it chooses to take. There will always be something better.. and frankly I’m having a hard time coping with that. ( And of course, I am talking in the design sense ) Lesson learn today: learn to love what you have.

Happy Monday. Enjoy some beauty.

Amie Weitzman Bathroom

Friday, July 16th, 2010

Folks, we’ve been in renovation mode for the past year or so now and I’ve come to accept its the life we’ll live. No complaints since basically I can design every detail and never have to live with someone else’s bad design taste. Yes, some say I am blessed. Actually I’d say I am blessed. We are currently waiting on our 2nd bathroom remodel goodies to arrive. I’m excited about my mauve bath and plan on using it as often as I can. That is until we tackle the master bath room this fall. What is the best thing about the master bath you ask? Well, one it’s going to be inspired by the genius Amie Weitzman and two we will not have anything close to a bath tub. Life could not get any better in my eyes.

So the hunt is on for some wallpaper and a white vanity. I hear Graham and Brown calling my name. People… I’m getting gitty.

Happy Friday by the way.. I’ve got B-board on my mind.

Day: I’ve stopped couting

Sometime when you set your mind to do something, at first you are all gun hoe about it. Pumped that you are doing “something” and even excited to just prove to yourself you can start and finish something. I’ve been doing whatever it is you want to call it that I have been doing for 3 weeks come this Saturday. Sure I feel better about things, but frankly I get depressed thinking about all the no’s I have to face the rest of my life.

No thanks, I can’t go out to eat for lunch today. I can’t eat the food there.

No thanks, I can’t eat anything at Thanksgiving.. I’ll have to bring my own entire meal.

No thanks, I’ll just sit in this corner and eat alone so I don’t have to be tempted by all of the goodness you are eating over there.

Life just got sad today. Sometime you think the reality isn’t so bad, until well you realize the reality. Another reality, I want to move to Salt Lake to a 1930′s bungalow to be exact. This of course doesn’t mean this it is going to happen.. seems that lately I have a lot of those “not going to happen dreams floating around”. But something I do know is that I’m going to Australia next year for 2 weeks, maybe forever and aside from my husband and dog I don’t want to know anyone is the world exists… just us and the fishes.

Day 11: Detox

Wednesday, July 7th, 2010

What is detox you ask my friends. Well detox is when you drink lemon juice, maple sugar and water for 5 whole days. This means, no food, no air, no life really. Of course, I cannot handle this and I need to eat because I am wasting away to nothing. So I eat a small meal of meat in the evenings and be done with it. But regardless, I am on detox and I drink this non-sense for 2 meals a day. Holy mighty it’s not a good thing. I cannot believe I have not even attempted to kill anyone or even began the pre stages of planning someones bitter sweet end. Because believe me, there are people I have on a list.

Regardless I’m feeling better and am embracing my new “life style change”. It’s been hard but worth it so far. I’ve found this great site that has these tasty treats called Cake Pops. Lets face it, I want one.. I can’t have one so I blog about it.
