We've been busy with lots of house work, indoors and outdoors, so I've sort of neglected posting for the past few weeks... I hope I'll have time to post extra in the coming weeks, but the list of projects continues to lengthen. Will I reach my goal of posting once a week this year?!


More coffee will definitely help with checking off the to do list. We snuck in a visit to a coffee shop that we've been planning to try for a while - In the moment coffee. They use beans roasted by Pallet, which I am never disappointed by. I had the lavender latte, and H wanted a drip coffee, but they actually only offer espressos! He had to settle for a latte with a pretty heart drawn into the fluffy foam. We quite enjoyed the hot bev, but did not enjoy the $6 price tag. When did coffees become so unaffordable?

On top of all the house work, there's also the responsibilities of car ownership. Our car broke down the other day when H was out by himself running an errand. Luckily, he was able to get it to the side of the road, not blocking any major intersections before it stalled completely. He stood on the sidewalk by the car, losing his sh**, because his phone was out of battery and he couldn't call for help. Other cars zoomed past him, and nobody cared to ask whether he needed help, but luckily x2, he was able to flag down a biker and borrowed a cellphone to contact me. 

I came out with baby S to save him, and within 5 minutes of baby S arriving on scene, a white Lexus sedan pulled over, and a woman who appeared to be wealthy asked us if we needed help. We politely declined, as we were just waiting for Buster's Towing at that point. 

Another 5 minutes later, a white Infiniti SUV pulled over and a kind man asked us if we needed a ride. Another 2 or 3 minutes later, a small white van pulled over... If we continued to stand there, I'm sure more cars would've stopped for us.  
 

The baby's ability to attract attention was quite powerful. 

Okay, back to work. 





Eargasming from listening to Tydi Global Soundsystem 195.  Yes, I know it's half a month old, but I haven't had time to find new music lately.

I miss my car.  It’s in the shop to get protective coating.  Picking it up tomorrow after work.  The sales person showed me the functions quickly.  Didn’t really need the tutorial, but hey, it's part of his job.

Yesterday:
Me: I have boy troubles again.
P: Your life is like a Taiwanese drama.
Me: Yeah, I know.  We match in so many ways though.  He’s a Taurus and I’m a Capricorn!
P: Now I really feel like we’re in a Taiwanese drama.
Me: HAHAHAHAH

Kaskade & Lana Del Rey – Young & Beautiful



I've seen the world
Done it all
Had my cake now
Diamonds, brilliant
In Bel Air now
Hot summer nights, mid July
When you and I were forever wild
The crazy days, city lights
The way you'd play with me like a child


[Chorus at 2:38]Will you still love meWhen I'm no longer young and beautiful?
Will you still love me
When I got nothing but my aching soul?
I know you will, I know you will
I know that you will
Will you still love me when I'm no longer beautiful?


I've seen the world, lit it up
As my stage now
Channelling angels in the new age now
Hot summer days, rock 'n' roll
The way you play for me at your show
And all the ways I got to know
Your pretty face and electric soul


[Chorus at 4:37]
Will you still love me
When I'm no longer young and beautiful?
Will you still love me
When I got nothing but my aching soul?
I know you will, I know you will
I know that you will
Will you still love me when I'm no longer beautiful?


It’s been a week, and still going through Paradiso withdrawal…
I could not find the lyrics for this mix by Kaskade at UMF 2013, or the original song with the original vocals.  Where did the vocals come from?! It’s driving me insane.

Kaskade & Tiesto vs. Quininio vs. Rehab–Chasing How It Is

I feel it now,
Feel for you,
So immense,
This love
Breaks through

So simple yet,
Something grand,
So intense,
My heart
You can hear it sing.

Edit: It’s called “How It Is”, and I think it is on his new album, Atmosphere, coming out in September.
