Where our world falls to pieces

Holla. Oh sorry, we've been so busy we haven't had time to blog. Ehm, I mean, actually there's just nothing to blog about. I'm guessing I speak for all of us when I say this week's been nothing out of the ordinary. Same old, nothing new. Hence, nothing to blog about.
So I figured I'll make a top 10 of my favorite moments this week. Hold on to your hats, here we go...

1. Discovering that Thievery Corporation's released a new album, Saudade. The single Depth of My Soul, below, was an immediate favorite. Can't believe I missed the release. I need to get back to always being up to date with important things like this. Well, at least I was only late by a few days this time. It could've been worse.

2. My boss buying me lunch. Yuhmeeh vegan risotto (below). The chef told me he'd attended to make a goofy face on top of the dish, but it failed a bit haha. I like the crazy hairdo though.

3. First Vurma morning this year. Eating breakfast or having coffee on the colorful benches outside at Vurma in Hornstull has become a bit of a tradition, and it was so nice to get this year started today with Laura and Josefine.

4. Taking selfies and feeling fine about the way I look. Might sound crazy, but me being ok with the way I look is a definite win! As I've told earlier, I've definitely not been ok with the way I look for let's say, 99% of my life.

5. Reading the latest GQ. I laughed at pretty much every story. One of my absolute favorite magazines. GQ and Top Gear always crack me up. 

6. Buying 6 kg of bananas. Because it was cheap. Now I'm going to be feasting on banana ice cream every day, aw yeah.

7. Hip Hop class by Benke this Thursday was awesome. The song we did a choreography to was Tyga's Dope. Indeed.

8. The DIY facial scrub I made today with sugar, lemon and a bit of water. I did put a bit of honey in it (sorry), because Eve reminded me of its anti-inflammatory benefits. And it was good. My face and my hands are soft as a babys butt as we speak. I mean, as I write. Therefore, a photo of a girl with flawless skin and terrific eyebrows. Mind if I just pluck those and glue them on my face instead?

9. Samuel L. Jackson performing a slam poem about Boy Meets World, a show I know Eve's been obsessed with lately.

10. Being social last night and actually going out to meet people. It was nice and I'm definitely done with being unsocial (for now). Spring and sunshine do wonders. Oh, and service has been spectacular too.

Right now:

Heat is leading over the Knicks and I'm listening to Young Dreams. 's all good.

BUMMER of the week:

The finale of How I Met Your Mother. I CAN'T EVEN

Speaking of which, you could read this.

Tomorrow it's Monday, back to work and everything and OH CRAP I FORGOT TO GET MY LAUNDRY. Gotta run.

We should do this more often though, dear blog. It was fun. So long!

PS. Heat won. I'll have a glass of water to celebrate. (Hands clapping)

Let's talk MUSIC

GIRLS: I hereby challenge you to post your 10 favorite songs.

Today's been nice. I slept until 10 AM, which was really nice. I usually wake up at around 7, true to my habits, so I'm always happy if I sleep longer. Weird enough. Why do I want to sleep longer when I wake up well rested and alert at 7 AM? Anyway. Yesterday was great, I died of laughter while watching White Chicks. I've seen it a bunch of times, but I still laughed so much my tummy hurt. 
Today I've been at the gym, surprise surprise, working my abs and then I had a couple of dance classes, house and dancehall.

Since Eve's pretty good at posting music I thought I'd share some music too. I'm going to share my 10 favorite songs ever. They're not in any particular order, so you know. Here we go...

1. Massive Attack - Unfinished Sympathy
I've loved this song since I was a kid. I found it on my stepdad's CD and have been into Massive Attack ever since. Love.



2. Jeff Buckley - Mojo Pin
Buckley's voice is so haunting. Hallelujah was probably the first song I heard by Buckley. Grace is an amazing album, and Mojo Pin makes me shiver every time I hear it.



3. The National - About Today (Can't choose only one, I have too many favorites. So I just picked one of my absolute favorites)
This is a band that really hits me on a lyrical level like no other band does. I have parts of their lyrics scribbled in every single notebook I have (and I have plenty of them).



4. Radiohead - Where I end and you begin
Radiohead's songs also hit me on a lyrical level. And Thom Yorke's voice. This song has the absolute best lyrics. EVER.



5. Led Zeppelin - Kashmir
No doubt one of the greatest songs ever written.



6. The Smiths - How soon is now
To be honest, I'm not a huge fan of the Smiths, but this song is absolutely phenomenal. I can never get tired of it.



7. Lupe Fiasco - Streets on fire
Weird choice, you might think, but I adore this song. There's this depth to it, this darkness, so great.



8. Burial
Can't go through this list without Burial. I had a hard time picking the song here too, but then I found this full album mix and thought... You might as well get the whole package. YOU'RE WELCOME. But since I have to choose one song, I'll choose Rival Dealer because that's the song I listen to the most at the moment.



9. Foo Fighters - Come Back
Foo Fighters was my favorite band when I was younger. I was supposed to go their concert a few summers back but I forgot. I had the ticket and everything. Well actually my friend had it and I was supposed to meet him up. On the day of the concert he called and I almost had a heart attack. I'd forgotten about the concert and was in another city hours away. TRUE STORY. #bitter



10. Evanescence - Lost in Paradise
Always tough picking the 10th song. There's a few to choose from. I could've gone with Jimi Hendrix, I could've picked a song by Kanye. It could've been Jump Around by House of Pain, something by Moby or Arcade Fire. But hey, here I am, baring my soul, admitting to absolutely loving this song and every other song ever written and performed by Amy Lee. Hello, little emo-Sara. I know you're in there. Her haunting voice... And the lyrics, the lyrics... AND the piano, obviously. One day I'm going to learn to play all of her songs on the piano.




So that's it. It has come to it's end. But this won't be the last song. Girls, I want your top 10. Right now.

Much love

Sara
