I Will Be Here is my favorite song right now. I heard this one driving to Vegas (a friend had put music on my phone) and just wanted to hear it over and over. The collaboration is a good starting point, but the remix makes it much better. I even got over the way she says "here" and almost like it now.

Songs 2-5 were also on the Vegas playlist and while all familiar, the new sounds are well worth listening to.

A friend sent me the latest Bonobo album - Black Sands and the last few songs listed are all from that album. The ones listed are my favorite from it; Black Sands is probably my favorite on the album. I'm used to Bonobo without vocals but really enjoyed the vocalist in these ones.

Update #4

Here is my annual update:

-still working for the Utah State Bar
-have my own apartment about half a block from where I work and it is AWESOME...I love living by myself!
-G___ took me to Vegas for my annual 24th birthday bash (26th birthday). I had never been before and we had the most amazing time. Definitely my best birthday yet!
-my diabetes is under control (yay)
-I am finding more and more great music to listen to all the time
-I am back in school again at the U
-still doing the long distance thing with K___ in Kansas. I went to visit him just after Christmas and got to go to a Jayhawk basketball game and had SOOOO much fun!
-Z___ is almost as tall as I am and when she passes me, I will be the shortest member of my family...and she's only 12!!

I think that's about it!

what happened to winter?

This is the mildest winter in my recent (and pretty much total) memory. We haven't had many storms, and when we do, we usually get rain instead of snow...at least down in the valley. But even still, there hasn't been as much snow as there usually is in the mountains and the temperatures are above average. Why can't we get in on the storms that dumped on the rest of the country back in December and the one that's supposed to hit the East coast tonight? That's our snow!!

I want it to snow and snow and snow all through January and February and then let spring in around my birthday. I don't care how cold it gets, as long as there is snow to go with it. I JUST WANT SOME SNOW!

My friend posted True Love on my Facebook page tonight and said I would love it. And she was right, I do love it! There's a lot of different elements to this song and it has a lot of depth. Also, her voice is beautiful (duh).

My BEST friend posted Heartbreak on my Facebook page last week because she knows I love Sophie Ellis-Bextor, and she loves the Freemasons. Put them together and WOW. It is one of my favorite Freemason songs (probably second to Here Comes the Rain Again).

The lyrics are what caught my attention in Hold On To Me. They're just so positive and seem to create a better outlook for me.

Yet another friend sent me Jungle Drum and said that it made him think of me when he heard it. It's a quirky song but it definitely gets stuck in my head. I listened to some of her other stuff and it's not bad, but too slow for what I was in the mood for that day.

Both versions of Another Chance are great. I really love the original but found the Kaskade remix to be a nice change.

the best chai tea

The Park Cafe has the BEST chai tea I have ever had. It is super delicious and I'm pretty sure they make it with cream, but I don't know if I really want to know that so I haven't asked. Start out with a full, steaming mug of chai and then when it gets towards the bottom, I get a refill of coffee and the chai gives it just enough sweetness. Mmmmmmm!

It's the Future!

We made it to the future. 2010 is here and soon we'll all be wearing silver jump suits and have flying cars. G___ has been saying it for years and now it's finally here!
