Things I am currently liking (a lot)

1.

From the opening chords of “Horchata”, I was hooked on this album. I listened to it three times yesterday, and it only keeps getting better. I imagine this will make it on my Top Albums list at the end of the year.

2.

I have known about the Toadies for years, but it hasn’t been until now that I developed an obsession with the album Rubberneck. Total post-grunge alterna-rock, but there is something so appealing about this entire album that makes it relevant today. I am particularly obsessed with the song Tyler which is [apparently] about a rape that occurred in Tyler, Texas. But that’s besides the point! All you need to know is that after 2:16, it is the most intense part of the song and I love singing along to it.

3.

I am currently on a health kick right now and I get really excited when I can incorporate avocados into a meal. I’ve eaten guacamole, avocado smoothies, and I even put avocado in my hair (it helps for dry hair!). It’s chockful of good fats, potassium and B vitamins.

4.

I recently purchased a paid account on the site so I am completely enthralled by the graphs and charts the pro account provides. I’ve also been using the Flickr search feature to find everything under the sun: tattoos, tattoo placement, album covers, “little girl crying under a willow tree in the middle of a field” (alright, not that one, but point being that you can search practically everything). Check out my Flickr here!
