Well its official I received the acceptance letter last week, I will be returning to Belmont in the fall, however before then I am taking the max amount of transfer hours humanly possible. I am so determined to graduate asap, that I don't know what to do with myself. I therefore must focus on the new and incredible that is going to be happening soon. This year I am going to go out with guys of various types, have fun at different concerts, grow out my hair again (I really gotta stop cutting it off, maintain my fab figure, and then figure out my grad/law school plans. To start with, I need to focus on the most important thing ever, my first day of class outfit! complete with bag!! I am so excited, and just so we are clear I am graduating this time and getting Dean's list. So first things first, your music for such a delayed post is Glee's version of Florence and the Machine history in the making classic, Dog Days are Over. Now this is a quintessential remake in my opinion for the show because it adds a hopeful quality that wasn't available in the original version. There is a certain Katy Perry "Fireworks" Corniness that is available to the Glee version of the song, that speaks to me and gets me excited about life and the future. Hope it does the same for you to!
Now as for your art for the week, I wanted to instill some words that I got from church yesterday-- keep the foxes out of your garden. Do with that what you will!
Now I know it isn't the usual type of art that I showcase, but lets face it, sometimes words are all that will do!
Here is that outfit I have been promising you! What are your thoughts?

Wow there are no words...
I have absolutely no words to describe how horrible I feel about the negligence of this blog upon my attending school in NYC. I have to say sorry, because even if this blog is purely just for my eyes and no one ever reads it, I still should have kept up a commitment for posts. In not doing so, various aspects of my life for the last 4 months will never be documented, nor can I ever hope to remember them in a full capacity.
Apology over, and now something new.
I am returning to Nashville, and by Nashville I mean Belmont University (I hope). In attending AMDA I have learned quite a few things about myself, my future, and my fashion sense. First of all, I never wear pants. It has become a sort of running joke with my classmates, because if I am in a pair of pants, then it is most likely that I am upset about something. I am a dress wearing girl, and I love it. So upon my return to Nashville, especially when it gets warmer, I plan on cultivating that love and not allowing it to alter in any way. Beginning with this little gem from polyvore.com. Now I realize I didn't complete adhere to my under $100 price, however you can skimp on a good coat, ever. Therefore I am unabashedly over budget by about $20. Can you blame me?
And since I could not even begin to leave before I posted a delightful little tune that will certainly keep you going, here you go!
Now usually I try to place the originals of songs on this blog, because usually the covers are dismal, but I have made an exception. Glee is a show that has taken over the country and in doing so has revolutionized how people look at music, finally. Therefore, I see no reason why playing Florence and the Machine's Dog Days Are Over via Glee is inappropriate. After all Glee has changed how we see music and isn't that what my new goal is after all? Changing myself?
Ta-ta darlings!

New Moon Thanksgiving Belmont
So first things first, New Moon was fantastic. I mean seriously fantastic, without a doubt one of the best movies I have seen this year. I am already planning on seeing it again. Without a doubt much better than twilight. Thanksgiving was typical, semi enjoyable and semi irritating. I made an apple cider brined turkey. It was quite tender and good. I must say my turkeys get better and better every year. Moving on its time to get on the grind and get it together. I have decided to focus completely on school so I can get everything done and hopefully begin to prepare for the Christmas break. Belmont is a great school, but come the end of the semester you get so stressed out. Its amazing. I have two papers, an assortment of creative writing homework, and I need to lose 60 pounds. Its ridiculous so I might have and unfortunate lack of posts in the upcoming weeks. In the mean time, here is Edward Cullen. Oh by the way even if you hated the books, which I did, the movies are so much better!

Where Is Ben Folds?
Ok, so as previously stated, I am an avid Ben Folds fan. Not only have I been to four of his shows, I frequent (not on purpose) many of his stomping grounds. I have all his albums and know where his house is.
I am not a stalker though. I know where his house is purely because my friend Hbomb's sister stalked him when she was in high school, and I live off of his street. I attend Belmont, I can't help but know him and love him. Anyways so the reason behind my extremely unclever "where is waldo" reference, is because of this. Not only do I constantly run into Ben Folds outside of a concert arena, but I did today twice in one day at two different places with two parts of his family. I don't really know how I manage it, but I have run into Ben at my two favorite hw places, 21st avenue starbucks and fido in hvillage. I have run into Ben at Fido before, and when I say run, I mean literally run into him. haha
I also know that his kids go to USN which is down the street from starbucks, I suppose it was only a matter of time before I ran into him here. Still, its really weird people go their entire lives without running into anyone famous, and I run into people all the time. And again, I didn't stalk him the reason I know that his kids go to USN, is simply because my brother went there, as did a few of my friends, and my friend ali found out through a high school literary conference. What made today's encounter even funnier was that I was listening to Hiroshima as he walked in, how ironic is that? lol It made my horrible day a little bit better let me tell you.
Well moving on to slightly more interesting topics, todays artwork is a piece by Vermeer a painter from the renaissance, who constantly painted people at a window. I had to do a project on him in 2-D design, and its only fair that you all are exposed to him as well.

And just cause, I will post a wonderful clip of a limited release Ben Folds Five Song.

Just so you know, the countdown to Death Cab for Cutie at Ryman auditorium is on, May 4th people!!!

Level of Nirvana has been reached
It is amazing what good music can do to your psyche. Last night, I attended the Ben Folds concert at the Ryman Auditiorium in Nashville, and it was amazing. Ironically, I have seen Ben on three other occasions, but I could never appreciate how well he plays at the Ryman. I am even more excited to see what Death Cab does with the Ryman in May.
Anyways the opening act for Ben was this band called Jukebox the Ghost. Without a doubt, one of the best bands I have heard in a long time. Not only were they a little quirky, they were also adorable, with a side of intellectual. Like any redblooded american college student, I proceeded to stalk them at the next available opportunity, they all went to George Washington University! Intellegience mixed with quirky is always a good combination.
Here are a few links to some of their videos, I highly recommend them. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ua4YlN9tQKQ ,
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5EsT1t7hPPU, and one of my new faves "hold it in," http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gIJTDwyQw5Y
As for Ben Folds, what more can be said about the man? He takes the "Piano Man" to a new level that at this point in history no one has been able to copy. The talent for being an indie/ alternative musician, but having commercial success without sellling out is quite endearing and gives hope to those of us who follow a "real" alternative lifestyle. This post is for all thos Vandy and Belmont indie hopefuls/ preppy kids that were at last nights sold out show. I am one of you!
And as such, here is my indie art pick of the month: highly representative right? lol have fun with life you bohemian dopes!
