From the mess to the masses

You probably weren't wondering what I am listening to these days but I'm going to tell you anyway.  It's "Lisztomania" by Phoenix, which was a big favorite of mine about two years ago.  I liked the original a lot, I liked the version that the kids from New York's PS22 Chorus did, and now I can't quit listening to this "Alex Metric Remix:"


It's super dancey, isn't it?  I am a little disturbed by the video footage of the chickens, but I understand it is from the 1992 movie "Baraka," which I had never heard of but which plenty of people on the internet say changed their lives.  So now it's on my list of movies to see.

Little off subject there.  As I was saying, super dancey, isn't it?

I have almost finished the baby hat I am crocheting, and then I have to plop it on my friend's baby's head and see if it fits!  I've also started crocheting a basic wrap sweater for myself.  I have been using Pinterest for a little while now, and it has this way of making you feel like you could be a super crafter if you only had the time, hence the crocheting.  I also have been pinning favorite music over there if you want to have a listen.

As for my reading progress, I was enjoying "The Amazing Adventures of Kavalier and Clay" so much, and then somehow I just quit reading for like two weeks.  I don't really know what happened.  I need to pick it back up again, because I have a ton of other books on the shelf that I need to get to this year as well.

Here's a gratuitous picture of Holly wearing her new Old Navy Valentine's dress:


Yes, it was taken with my phone using the "Retro Camera" app, which those of us who don't use Instagram, due to owning Android phones, use.  I guess it's a little bit hipster of me, but it sure is cute, isn't it?
