Also known as: 30x30, Timbuktu Timbuktu edition.

Sorry, I'm just really over-the-moon about the new episode of Cabin Pressure.

Here, have an outfit to make up for my enthusiasm.

30x30 Items:

Dress: eShakti | Top: thrifted

Other stuff:

Necklace: Claire's | Belt, tights: WalMart | Shoes: Forever 21

Apparently, I'm really fond of layering tops and sweaters over this dress. I am completely fine with that, it's such a perfect print that it works, I think.

Oh, and my music thing! Today's is a song that reminds me of somewhere. I chose this song because it was on the radio constantly as we were driving through Yellowstone over the summer (I'm talking every other song), so it's no surprise that it makes me think of Yellowstone now.

It's "Someone That I Used to Know" by Gotye. (I also happen to like this song, so it's no trouble on my part.)

Surprise! I wore things that aren't pajamas today! We went to WalMart for cat food and dessert, and I got to break in my new jacket. Yep, thank everything for Christmas money.

Also, I've gotten Casey into Cabin Pressure. This feels good, guys. Mostly because there's a new episode tomorrow. Hooray for Timbuktu!

Five Things: 2012

I thought I'd round this year out with five things that have happened to me in 2012. Because I know you care.

Deeply.

1. I did some traveling, and it was amazing. I went to some new places, some old places, and all of it was perfect. I don't think it's a big secret that I am continually under the influence of wanderlust (at the same time, I doubt it's common knowledge on here), and I'm always happy to go somewhere different. Even if it's a museum twenty minutes away, or a national park two days away. I can only hope that I'll get half as many amazing opportunities in 2013!

I love the Arizona desert.

2. I adopted Charlie, who has continued to get bigger and bother/adore Angel and take up all the space on my bed. I'm okay with all of this, though. Even the whole climbing-on-my-clothes thing.

3. I've developed unhealthy attachments to various TV/radio shows and movies, and their collective actors and writers. The list is long, continually growing longer. This is me, regretting nothing:

4. I've made new friends, reconnected with old friends, and continued to make people look at me strangely while in the company of close friends.

Erika, aka Snowflake. Because she is a special 
one.

Casey, aka the Tony Stark to my Bruce Banner (science bros!).

5. I've passed all my classes, enjoyed the company of some amazing classmates, and learned a new skill (o due).

My year has been awesome, and I can only hope that 2013 will continue with that trend. And I hope that everyone else has had an excellent year!

Huzzuh!

Quindici

Today, we celebrated Christmas. There was the typical Christmas morning melee (which is what happens when there are thee little kids, two preteens, and some actual adults), which resulted in quite a lot of fantastic wearables currently in and around my closet. Then, in the afternoon, we went to my aunt and uncle's. There was break dancing, more present-opening, a prime rib dinner, and red velvet cake. And you should know that I like all of these things.

Prepare for really quite a lot of pictures, mostly of my nieces and nephews.

Although, when I say mostly, I mean almost entirely.

The niece demanded photos.

Brilliant!

Back to the world of academia! It's terribly interesting, right? Although, if you must know, I desperately wished for seven people to be kidnapped by bears (being on the wait list sucks, guys), struggled to stay awake in my archaeology class, narrowly avoided breaking my ankle running to catch a train in inappropriate running shoes, and went out to dinner with my mom.

It's been a long day, and all I want to do is lie in bed and listen to Cabin Pressure, my new favorite radio show. Well, my only favorite radio show.

Once again, I need to clean my room...
