i want to be seen green.

Alison always talks about emerald green everything, espcially corduroy and jumpsuits. When I saw this outfit I couldn't help but think it would probably be the perfect summer outfit for that particular ladyfriend.

sinking like a siren that can't swim no more.

I had a pretty cool onepiece bathing suit last summer for camp. It was bright pink with flowers all over it. As someone who likes to play in the water with kids, I always have my eyes open for similarly appealing onepieces. These are pretty much the coolest ones I have ever come across!!! I, of course, especially love the animal ones. I mean who doesn't want a black stallion galloping across their belly?! If ya know what I mean.

you ain't nothin' but a hound dog, cryin' all the time.

I'm not a huge animal person. Now there is a little dog in the apartment next to us that makes me want to cry sometimes because he barks 24/7, which doesn't help the situation. In fact the other day we forgot to set the alarm, but the dog was barking so loud we woke up anyway.
I do, however, have a soft spot for scruffy lookin dogs. Dogs that look like they would never come clean no matter how hard you scrubbed them, or have asymmetrical features, or always have fur in their eyes.This little guy just killed me! I especially liked that where I found him he was referred to as the "bed bud". He could come cuddle anytime.

A bunch of hippy bullshit.

tastes so good my hearts been mended.

Today I committed an unthinkable crime... I opened one of the 4 packages of dark chocolate I brought with me and I ate a piece while Jeremy was at work. If he had done that to me I would have been very upset, yet I know he will understand me being a lady and all. I can blame anything from hormones to the fact that after carefully avoiding getting my lunch on my white blouse half of my fudgesickle I ate afterwards fell on it leaving a brown smudge down the front. Having to put a shirt in the laundry basket before it has even been worn for a whole day is definitely worth some more chocolate... right?!Mmmm chocolate.

its been a long time since i rock and rolled.

I know that there are dirty grungy, rock and rollers in South Korea (they are everywhere, Eva and I even saw some hanging out on the floor of the railway station in Bangkok), but I have yet to see any. I might even go further and say that I have seen nothing that even resembles rocker-grunge here. Some frayed edges on some jean shorts is about the closest approximation. I look forward to my first sighting. I will see them! I will see them. Positive thinking helps.Via: johnny's bird

walkin around grabbin his you-know-what.

Summer can be full of fun, but for most of us "University aged" people (at least in Canada) it is a time of uncertainty and a little bit of sadness. I know that I have to actually try everyday to be happy and am constantly reminding myself of everything little that is wonderful and beautiful. This morning I was walking to the bookstore to get another notebook to do my school exercises in and my shirt busted open! At first I was upset because I'm a big baby, but then I was like "that is hilarious". The people here are all offended by cleavage so I've been trying so hard to keep my boobs to myself, then I'm wearing a blouse that covers everything and it flies open exposing my bossoms to a large group of older Korean men who were working in the garden. If I can hold onto how silly that made me feel for the rest of the day, I'll be fine.

Siri, the writer of the blog Ringo, Have a Banana just went to the most rediculous event as a photographer... a foosball tournament in Italy, the pictures are funny you should check it out. She also posted a picture that I have looked at over and over again since it was posted. For some reason this picture makes me feel really good.

noddin my head like yeah.

I know I just showed an all denim ensemble, but heck.... it looks good!!! I have the most delicious denim onesie that I wore for the first time to a Phoenix concert in DC and I have yet to wear it in Korea. I think next time I go to the cool part of Cheongju near the university I will wear it. People there are more urban and outgoing with thier clothes, so it will likely draw less stares. Once I get my nerve up I want to wear it more.
This denim cut out shirt on model Hanneli Mustaparta is actually a bodysuit! This is a totally silly outfit and I like it.

oh shit, am I supposed to be emarrassed about that? but it's "so hard with my girls not around me" --- welcome to my blog Eva!

something in the way she moves.

Patti Boyd, the ex-wife of George Harrison and then Eric Clapton, is a retro beauty. She was also the lady for whom many songs were written including Clapton's "Layla" and "Bell Bottom Blues" and George's "Birthday" and "For You Blue", not to mention one of my favourite Beatle's songs "Something".- listening to: "Something" Jim Sturgess (Beatles song in Across the Universe)

i'm driving in the flats in a cadillac car.

For some reason these pictures make me want to go on a drive in the hot sun. I want to be drinking an iced coffee and I want a huge bag of twizzlers and I want to be listening to Bob Dylan. One of my favourite parts about drives like that is stopping at gas stations and stepping out onto the hot pavement with my barefeet.
