just popping in for a quick hello

hey you!

long time no blog

i've slowly been settling into the realization
that it will be a busy summer
lots of tasks crept on the to-do list
major tasks
but, oh well
i'm sure there is some beauty in preoccupation

also!
i've managed to embed music to the blog
some tunes are too good not to share

the first song i chose to showcase is by fleet foxes

the song, mykonos
reminds me of winter
real canadian winter
when snowflakes race to the ground
and temperatures skydive below 0

but the reason i love this song
is that it reminds me of the magical silence
which always accompanies winter
because
while raindrops crave attention
by making sounds as they meet the ground
snow, silently settles

i'm also quite a fan of the above photos.
very vintage spring feel, n'est-ce pas?

kiss kiss kiss (for lost times),

on Friday we had a major snow storm
how major? 30 centimetres major.
meteorologists sounded stern and cautious / children rushing to the nearest snowy hill sounded the opposite.

after helping to decorate the tree, I edited analyst reports all day,
listening to my favourite bands cover Christmas carols.
edit edit. groove groove. repeat

finished my work around dusk.
realized how much I love scenic snowy nights.
lindt chocolate + warm milk = hot chocolate without leaving the house
toasted a bagel. mixed pepper and sun dried tomatoes with cream cheese.
crunchy yum.

Turned on fireplace & television.
popped in Home Alone.
holiday classic
perfect.

safe travels and happy holidays,

"so happy...so happy"

Salut mesdames et messieurs!

Cette semaine est la première de mes vacances de fac donc je suis très heureuse. Si vous écoutez les paroles, vous comprendrez la raison pourquoi j'ai choisi cette chanson.

This week marks the first of my winter vacation from university. I felt that the lyrics to this tune perfectly grasped my excitement.

Je vous souhaite beaucoup de bonheur!

I wish you a week of splendid surprises and beautiful music.

UPDATE: Regretfully, MixWit, the website that hosts the songs has closed down. The song that plays is not the one I talk about in the post. The song in the post is Let it Fall by Lykke Li
