This weekend was a spectacular of shopping fun-times, eating good-times and beautiful weather. I'm talking 70s and perfectly sunny, with an awesome cool breeze. It was awesome! See below for case and point:
Bow tank from H&M ($12.95? Not on sale.)
Bird skirt for $7 from H&M (remind me not to wear these two things together)
New jewelry setup with cork boards! (Target - $7.90 for 4 panels)
Leopard flower hair-clip (Forever21 - $1.50 for 2)
Owl earring hanger (Forever21 - $11.50)
Oyster Trio @ Sip (5th & Madison)
Flatbread Pizza (Sip)
Poutine for Breakfast! (J&M Cafe - 1st and Washington)
Nate and I watched the first season of Game of Thrones, a show on HBO. There are ten episodes, and the show is based off the book series 'A Song of Fire and Ice.' I have to admit, the episodes are a little slow-moving sometimes; you can tell what scenes -- mostly dialogue -- would have been cut or shortened or implied if it was a movie (or set of movies,) but the storyline and characters are good and interesting enough to have kept us watching.
And then we get to the end of the 9th episode and Nate FREAKSOUT about the ending and insists we keep watching, even though it's late and we both have work the next morning. Because really, how can you just DO THAT? I mean...HBO didn't do it, the books did, but still. Totally didn't see it coming. And yes, I'm being elusive on purpose in case you want to go watch the season without my spoiling it for you. And if you have seen it, you KNOW what I'm talking about. This is why I usually like to read the books before I watch -- I like to be prepared.
REALLY, HOW CAN THEY JUST DO THAT?
edit: I think my favorite storyline is Daenerys's. Dragons are just too cool.
Current Book: Mockingjay, Third Book of The Hunger Games. I ate the first two, and this one is turning out to be no different. Sometimes, I hate to find a book trilogy/quartet that I love, because I alwasy finish it too quickly. And then I'm sad.
Current Movie: Hmm...last one I watched was Schindler's List, which was beautifully sad; The Boy in the Striped Pajamas before that. My sister is bringing Blue Valentine to watch this weekend. We are apparently people who love to be depressed.
Current Song: I'm a little obsessed with Promises, Promises -- and some other new Incubus.
Current Restaurant: New favorite in Seattle is Contour, on 1st. Their happy hour menu is so good, so varied and so cheap!
Current Needs: More sleep. And more exercise. And less homemade cookies and bagels sitting the breakroom! Oh yes, and a Google+ invite. (Anyone...anyone? I can pay you in (boyfriend) baked goods and snuggles.)
Current Dream Travel Destination: I think Egypt.
Current Bane of my Existence: That it is not yet 5PM. That is all.
Current Inspiration: My friend, Christopher. For saying what he wants and what he means, even if it isn't directly. And for going after things without any agenda but his own happiness.
Current Favorite Blog: Craftgasms. Totally wish I had known her better when we were in school together!
Current Excitement: Three day weekend! And the weather is supposed to be gorgeous. And I got a new credit card (which was my plan, after closing a different one...but it's still exciting.)
