May Ramblings

May has been a relatively uneventful month; I mean it began with the song "Month of May" by Arcade Fire being stuck in my head so that gives you an indication of how exciting my life is... 

May has been a month of many new music discoveries because I finally signed up to Spotify (a work colleagues response to this fact was "Welcome to 2012, people are using these things called smartphones too") 

I have been incessantly researching tours, shows, hotels, restaurants and a million other things for my big trip later this year. 

But truth be told the majority of my time during May was spent working ($$$), babysitting, and, as much as I am ashamed to admit it... watching The Voice... 

If you are still reading this post and haven't closed it in shame and disgust at my television choices, here are a few other things I got up to in May:


 


Movies


  • Zombieland- The Bill Murray cameo had me in stitches
  • Frozen- DO YOU WANT TO BUILD A SNOWMAAAAAAN! I cannot even explain how much I loved this movie, I finally understand what all of the hype is about.

 



 TV Shows

  • The Slap- Intense, quality Australian television
  • Veep (seasons 1, 2 and 3)- This show is so hilarious I have been binge watching it like there is no tomorrow
  • American Horror Story (season 1)- Although I couldn't watch this at night because I got too scared, I really enjoyed it during the daytime

 
Around town




 



Listening

  • Dancing in the Dark- Bruce Springsteen
  • Pills - Perishers
  • Banner (Acoustic)- Lights
  • My Father's Father- The Civil Wars
  • The Shape of Us- Ian Britt

 

Sipping
 
  • Chamomile tea 
  • Hot chocolates in startling proportions

 


Reading
 

  • The Happiness Project
  • Go Ask Alice
  • Looking for Alaska 
 


Cooking
  


 


The Big Trip

  • I booked my accommodation in Los Angeles, Boston, Seattle and New York

Until next month...
