In December drinking horchata.

School's out for the semester, so what better time than the present to share some photographic love?

PB & A: I'm not quite sure how one would eat this. But it looks cool and I'm sure it tastes pretty good too.

Fun fact I learnt on Jeopardy: this flower is called 'The Devils Paintbrush'.

2 Bedrooms that I am obsessed with. Sweet dreams? I think so.

take the poison of your age, don’t lick your fingers when you turn the page.

In case the lack of blog posts wasn't indication enough, I've been busy with school. For some reason, I don't find myself complaining too much. Yeah, the midterms, assignments and essays are a bitch (as are 8am and 4pm classes) but generally, I don't mind seeing the usual friendly faces everyday and having some sort of routine.
This also means I don't have anything exciting to blog about aside from my obsession with lists.
I love lists. I may have some sort of disorder when it comes to lists relevant to pop culture (mainly just movies and books). So I freaked out when I saw this notebook a few weeks ago at Michael's (aka heaven) when I went to visit my sister and brother in law (or as I like to call him, my brother from another mother) in Ontario. Too cool for school right?

Last night, I watched Big Fish and Life Aquatic. Next week I might go see New Moon / Fantastic Mr. Fox, if I don't however, I plan on watching Lars & the Real Girl and Spinal Tap. I was planning on watching some Scrubs season 2 this weekend because I can see the DVD case laughing at me from my bookshelf but we'll see.

i just haven't met you yet .

What can I say? I love a man in a suit, especially this crooner.

Highlight of my week: Michael Buble was on Oprah today. Oh how I love him & his velvety voice, it was just what I needed after the week I've had. To summerize it in one word, stressful. I am just glad that it is over and done with.
I came to the sad realization sometime this week while I was creeping on my many school lover boys that I need to try to have some sort of life outside of school, something that sadly,I do not see happening much anytime in the near future.

you are my voice, my microphone.

It's Saturday night, do you know what you should be doing? I do. It involves working on my english essay. I watched the habs game tonight, we won. If the first two games are any indication of how this season is going to be, I believe Carey Price will have an amazing year, lets just hope the rest of our team can get it together.

Lately I have been a little obsessed with these Doc Martens I purchased from this cool little thrift shop I came across. They are black and look very bad ass yet feminine at the same time (or so I was told). If you are a reader of Nylon magazine such as me, you probably are already in love with them.

Also, I have been considering getting a haircut. At this point I am torn in between Taylor Momsen (not so little J from gossip girl) and Zoey Deschanel. I'm giving myself 3 weeks to decide.

And to end on a random note, I may have a school girl crush on my humanities teacher. He looks like a cross between Jason Schwartzman and Leonard from the Big Bang Theory (for the record, he is way more on the Jason Schwartzman side. its more like a 80-20 ratio).

Image of the week: designer Alexander Wang's studio in New York.

caring is creepy.

I will not start off by saying FML because I have come to the realization that there are people in this world who are a lot less fortunate than us. There are people dying of aids and hunger and Africa, there are people in war torn countries who do not know whether they will live or die, there are people who live on street because they have lost everything, and the list goes on. In comparason doesnt "fuck my life because I am in science and have a lot of homework" sound sort of petty?

My workload until thanksgiving(next 2 weeks):
-organic chem midterm
-biology enzyme lab
-physics quiz
-physics lab report
-physics integrative activity
-nutrition and health management midterm
-english midterm essay
-nutrition and health management fit day project (which my teacher has yet to explain)
-ethical issues in science(humanities) midterm
-biology midterm
and...the monday after thanksgiving:
-physics midterm
-biology integrative activity

On a lighter note, this is my current laptop and cell phone background, credit goes to cobrasnake.

god put a smile upon your face.

I was going through some old images on my computer and came across these. I've been having a so-so day but this instantly put a smile on my face and made my heart melt, so I decided to pass the love along, enjoy.

If you hear my cry, running through her street, I'm about to freak, come and rescue me.

My first week back at school has been pretty decent, I'm mostly just happy to see my friends and all the familiar faces.
I already have a pretty hefty load of homework due next week:
-preparing my organic chemistry lab for monday
-organic chem assignment for tuesday
-ethical issues in science(humanities) essay for wednesday
-prepare biology lab for tuesday
-finish physics lab report for friday
-start physics textbook problems
-read play for discord on contemporary drama(english) for wednesday
But for some reason I'm not complaining because
a)I've had much worse and pulled it off
b)JOBROZ CONCERT TOMORROW!

sitting, waiting, wishing.

A sure sign that my summer is over: school starts tomorrow. I'm spending today lounging around my house hungry(side note: I am fasting) organizing bits and pieces of my life. You know how some people are minimilists? They wear simple basic classic pieces of clothing, their rooms are always neat and empty, everything seems to be tucked away? Well, I would decribe myself as the complete opposite. I love stuff, organized stuff or as I like to call it, organized clutter. I have this dream of the ultimate office/library, it would packed to the brim with books and magazines alongside meaningful pieces of art and a huge corkboard.

mad men.

I know I haven't posted anything in a while, summer is almost over and I've been trying to enjoy my last days of freedom before school starts. So today I decided to let you all in on my latest obsession: Mad Men. I am absoltely in love with this drama set in New York circa 1960. The storylines, the clothes, the historical accuracy, everything is amazing.

The city's glamour can never spoil, The dreams of a boy and goil, We'll turn Manhattan into an isle of joy! - Manhattan by Ella Fitzgerald

(500) days of summer.

I went to see this today. It is a very cute movie, put me in good mood, and the soundtrack is amazing. Just thought I'd share.

the local crew does osheaga.

I waited a few days to blog about Osheaga because I wasn't sure where to begin, I'm still not. For starters , I saw Coldplay, which made my life, but I feel like I can't talk about it too much because nothing I say will do them justice, it were simply beyond words. We were in the second row, I got to touch Chris Martin, which again, made my life.

Bands you should check out:
Kitty, Daisy & Lewis.
They are old folksy family band made up of 3 siblings and joined by their parents. Very retro, they have old sound to them, which I love. They were amazing.

Josh Ritter and his band.

I loved Josh Ritter, he was so cute and smiling the whole time, seemed like a gentleman. His sound sort of reminds me of Bob Dylan, which is a good thing for obvious reasons.

Eagles of Death Metal.

They are old school rock n roll band from L.A, they totally killed! Each band member is a character in their own right, they definetely brought it, I loved every single moment of it.

(Side note: My friends and I almost caught the guitar pick and shirt of the lead singer. The shirt was snatched from our hands, but we felt his sweat from the dampness)Jason Mraz.

I dont think this man needs any introduction, everyone has heard of him by now. He was awesome, really connected well with the audience, really funny, everyone loved him.

how long before i get in, before it starts, before i begin?

(and yes, to answer your question, those are coldplay lyrics)

the countdown has begun : less than 24 hours until the magic.

my fair lady.

Another lovely day with Sadaf and Zehrah. We had lunch at her place and watched the Audrey Hepburn classic, my fair lady.

delicious cookies sadaf made.

these triangles actually contain packets of tea, pretty cool no?

if haven't already.

go see this movie, it is in my opinion the very definition of epic.

welcome to californication.

It's always been a dream of mine to someday move to California. Ever since I can remember I have been obsessed the laid back cali lifestyle, and admired their the lovely weather and liberal mindset. I especially love the architecture,whether it be mid century modern in Los Angeles or victorian in San Fransisco, I've always fantasized about owning these dream houses.

Funny how there is such a contrast, yet I admire them both so dearly.

of moons, birds & monsters.

The plateau is my one of my favourite areas of Montreal. Always happening, always georgeous, and today was no exception. Here are some snipets from my lovely day with M, we stopped by a market on Mont-Royal and got some flowers and then had brunch at a cute little cafe called Studzio on St.Denis.

there was this owl statue on the middle of the market.
