You're bored, right? For you, I provide entertainment. You're welcome.
Tift Merritt. I know I've talked about her before but I cannot say enough good things about her new album, See You on the Moon. I bought it back in June, a week or so before we saw her live in Ashland. It was an amazing show, as always. While I think she should be SUPER FAMOUS by now, I do love that I get to see her in really small venues. It's what she does best. Now, this album. It's the kind of thing you listen to a few times and think, "Well, that's nice." Then a few more listens and suddenly you are living and breathing these songs, you hear them in your head, you can't stop thinking about certain lyrics, you just can't get enough. At least, that's been my experience. It's absolutely worth buying, so please do!
Hyperbole and a Half. Why am I just discovering this blog? If you want to know what my average day is like (in my head), read this. And this. Also this. Oh, if you're at work, grab a sock or something to stuff in your mouth to muffle the laughter. If you forget that part and get fired, not my fault.
Pamie is one of my favorite people on the Internet, for serious. If you want to be truly entertained, please go read her account of a day spent at a Korean spa. I read it three times because I just COULD NOT WRAP MY HEAD AROUND IT. Of course, I really want to go to there even though I know it would be awkward and humiliating. Sadly, it's in LA, so instead I settled for ordering one of those crazy scrubber mitts (weirdly called an "Italy Towel") off the eBay. I WANT TO BE SOFT LIKE WHIPPED CREAM.
Tomatoes. You know it's summer when you find a tomato rolling around in the back of your car and think, "Oh! That's where that went." I got the first tomatoes of the season this week from my CSA and oh my sweet baby Jesus. I could just eat tomatoes and nothing else until September. Go get you some. If you're making a face it's probably because you've never had a good one. There are tomatoes and there are TOMATOES. Find the latter kind.
Have a good weekend!
So far I've only clicked on the first Hyperbole and a Half post, and I'm in love. I am SO GLAD I'm not the only person who gets extremely angry about wind.
ReplyDeleteDid Kate tell you about SpaWorld?!http://www.spaworldusa.com/ It's in DC, $35 for a 24 hour pass and the body scrub service she wrote about is $50. I really really want to go but again the whole nude thing is a bit off-putting.
ReplyDeleteOh man they had those towels in Turkey, but I never heard them called Italy towels. I had one for my face and my skin was never better. They mildew really easily though.
ReplyDeleteI'd check out Tan A, or better yet, G-Mart in NoVA (they have more Korea-specific stuff IIRC).
