Safe & Sound (The Hunger Games) by Taylor Swift featuring The Civil Wars

Alright, so I am incredibly psyched about The Hunger Games (tickets on sale TODAY) and this is the first video! I love Taylor Swift and have recently been getting into The Civil Wars and I think this video is amazing!

 

I went to college in Appalachia (where District 12 is) and one of the things I miss most about living in the area are the valleys and the open spaces. The fog in the mornings was always my favorite part, it was very eerie but also incredibly comforting. I remember driving down to Athens, Ohio in the very early morning with my dad and this is exactly what it always looked like, just without a girl in a white dress wandering around singing.

So now that you just completed Reminiscing 101, enjoy the video.

Metropolitan Redecoration

So, I'm not exactly razing a building, but I am doing some pretty hardcore redecorating in my bedroom.  Get ready ladies and gentleman, I haven't changed it up since like 2004 so things are about to get real. Well, not too real, I'm not painting walls or anything but I am PAINTING like and artist, on canvas.

Magical Weekend in NOLA

What happens when your employer is having a reception in a city you've been dying to go to since forever? You weasel your way in until they feel there is absolutely no other option but to send you! That ladies and gentleman, is how I was able to spend a really magical weekend in New Orleans.

We Are Young by Fun. ft. Janelle Monáe

Thanks to my awesome roommate for telling be how awesome Fun. is. I can't stop listening to this song and thinking, is 28 still considered young?
