“Wishing I Was There”
Natalie Imbruglia
weirdly, and randomly, i started humming this tune when i was making breakfast this morning. and then i started singing it, somehow remembering all the lyrics, but unable to recall who sang it exactly. thank goodness for google/youtube.
“Such Great Heights”
The Postal Service
Give Up
Argentina, Brazil | 12.28.06 | walked around the Argentinian side of Iguazu in the morning, was eaten alive by mosquitoes. a butterfly flew onto my dad’s hat and stuck around with us for a bit. our tour guide then semi-illegally got us through to the Brazilian side of the falls, where you can get pretty close to the water. on the way back, we stopped in the middle of the bridge where you can see Argentina on the left bank, Paraguay in the far distance, and Brazil on the right. flew back to Buenos Aires in the evening and realized only too late that trying to have dinner alfresco next to the Rio de la Plata was a bad idea—the mosquitoes had quite a feast tho.
Egypt | 12.28.07 | early morning flight from Cairo to Aswan for a visit to Abu Simbel. still astounded by the fact that they moved the entire temple in prep for building the dam! took a short boat ride on the Nile and noticed that the sands of the Sahara come right up to the edge of the river. hopped on a camel and journeyed over to a Nubian village. the hibiscus tea and snacks totally coaxed us into buying more handmade trinkets and whatnots than was necessary.
“Fantasy”
Mariah Carey
“Save Tonight”
Eagle-Eye Cherry

pretty sure i did an oracle article categorizing bloggers, back in the “emo blogger” day of xanga and livejournal :D
flashback to the summer of ‘99: my friends and i spent a fab day at Raging Waters and though we were all exhausted by the time we left, we all sang along to this at the top of our lungs when it started playing on the radio during the drive back. oooh, behave!
“She”
Elvis Costello
Notting Hill soundtrack
i’ll always love this movie. and it’s not yogurt, it’s mayonnaise.
hahaha. in some of the more boring classes in college, i amused myself by beautifying people with photoshop. those were the days.
