I LOVE FREE MUSIC!

We don't hear that word very often anymore, do we? Free?
I have the hottest tips on where to find free music.




1. Free all Music
               Each Tuesday, through facebook, this website gives 1 free song of your choosing to you for free! You only have to watch a commercial to get it. They are sometimes about the Apocalypse, which is weird.  But, Free song is totally worth it.



2. Spotify
              Sets up like Itunes and connected to your facebook, you can listen to any song you like, for free, as long as you want. Search songs you don't have, search new music, share playlists with friends... this program is addicting.



3. Pandora
             Unless you have been living under a rock your entire life, I'm sure that you have heard of this one.  Here's the gist, pick a favorite  artist or music genre and listen to music that is similar to it. New music!

The Things We Take for Granted




Last night, at the lovely late hour of 11 o'clock. I went to take a shower. I waited 10 minutes for the water to heat up, thinking about how odd it was that the water was still freezing when normally it takes less than 2 minutes to get scalding hot water. Lucky me! My family's water heater broke- and since the problem was discovered at night, there was nothing we could do until the morning..aka... the basement flooded from the exploding heater and ruined the carpet and many other items that I have yet to identify.

Isn't life grand!? I almost  had to take a trip to the gym and use, gasp.... the gym showers at my gym, but than i would feel obligated to work out.... and I just felt kind of lethargic today!

Anyways, this lack of water in my household for the past 24 hours made me realize that I take such small things for granted. Like yesterday, when I left my phone in my car and did not have it on me all day. I thought i was going to die with out it.  Sure, you are thinking, poor, little rich girl with her car, and cell phone, and hot water systems at home. Yet, I realize, so many people do not have access to these things. when problems such as this arise, we should be thankful somehow, and realize that not others have access to such opportunities.

Well, anyways, I do now need to go dry my hair after the most luxurious, hot shower that I have ever taken- most likely because i knew that the possibilities of hot water was endless.

What is sleep?

Sleep? Such a foreign concept!
Just now realizing it is almost midnight, and I still have so much to do- of nothingness. You don't even want to know all of the things i should do. I guess, my nap from earlier is keeping me up right now.

Of course, I can sleep at all hours of the DAY but not fall asleep at normal hours of the night. Yet, I am yet to crawl under the covers, shut off my light and dream.  I should probably do that soon. Meaning that my alarm will go off in less than 7 hours. Go to school. Homework. Nightly TV show. Nightly facebook stalking. Bed. Repeat. Sounds like an interesting life.


I'm sure if I had any of these Anthropologie creations I would be frolicking in dream world right now. Oh, wait, I do have a Anthro bedspread. SUPER AWKWARD!

Pretty Arabian Nights
Wow! thanks for outbedding me! This takes my breath away!



And the daunting voice of my laptop just said, "IT'S 12 O' CLOCK". Guess I should stop typing now and do everything  I just wrote about above. Sweet Dreams 


Apple and it's addicting commercials

If anyone knows how to advertise, it's Apple.
They show off their ipad and iphone technology, with some upbeat music, and I'm hooked. Each commercial leaves me craving for Apple products and wondering where that song came from that played in the background. I swear, those 30 second advertisements leave me singing the music all day long.

I thought that we should take a look at a few of my favorite commercials:
Right now, the most recent one airing is what got me back on this blog!
I know you may be tired of it, but here it is: first on the list:


Song: Tongue Tied by Group Love

Next up: Not exactly  a song I'm dying to buy off Itunes, but it just makes me really want to get an iphone 4s... except the fact that Siri is not smart enough to find me a bakery when i say "I want a cupcake."


Are you bored of these commercials yet?

Song : New Soul by Yael Naim


And remember the good old days of the nano?  I never had one, but I still have my clunker of the first generation video ipod. Good times good times. When this commercial debuted, i could not stop dancing and one of the guys reminded me of my friend Tarrek.
Bourgeois Shangri-La by Miss Li


And finally, the retro ipod commercial with the black dancing figures!


Technology by Daft Punk 

I guess I'll add this one too because I love the song! It was also featured on Gossip Girl 
No you Girls by Franz Ferdinand
