Voxtrot - The Start Of Something
My trombone section-leader put this on a mix CD for me sophomore year in high school and I’ve never looked back. I love this song.
It’s love in the most simple and tender way, awkward and young and nostalgic.
Common Italian saying. Translates directly to “You see Naples, and then you die.”
Well, that’s one way to confront the crime that exists there. Just something interesting I found in my first-year Italian book.
I am listening to Bing Crosby and Duke Ellington’s Christmas music on repeat for hours today. I freaking love December.
I’ve got to stop breaking concentration.
This reminds me of what I always believe every French woman to be - undeniably sexy.
I think this woman is saying Bonjour, would you like to see my shoulders? I am so European. How can you resist?
You know, it’s those European ladies that make us American ladies look a hell of a lot less alluring. It kills, it kills.
For today, at least.

It really kinda blew my mind a little. Okay, a lot.
This is beautiful.
What secrets do I have?
So I tried a new food for #69 on my 101. Shall we talk about my newfound love for Silk soymilk?
Let’s just say regular milk has got nothing on the excellent nutritional aspects of it’s godly goodness. And the taste is fabulous. I’m a convert. Guess who won’t be purchasing regular milk at the store anymore?
However - I have heard that too much soy is awful for your body. I’m interested in the research… Much of it is done by dairy companies. If you’re interested, here is a highly informative and fairly unbiased article written by CNN.

Cameron is not in Austin; he is at home working. I miss my dear painter.
As a first semester freshman, I am about to take my first finals. I have Italian on Friday and then my Mythology final on Tuesday.
It’s a lot of material, but unlike what seems like every other Texas student, I have not been practically living in the PCL (our huge library). Am I under-studying? I’m not feeling like a very good student…
