dumbstruck with the sweetness of being

current obsessions:

-gmail's schizo new 'themes' options -- wtf awesomeeeee. mine is currently set to 'phantasea.'

-the haunting, eerie, trembling persistence of Growing's track (& video for) 'Wrong Ride': 
(better quality on pitchfork.tv, but for some reason embedding pitchfork's videos on blogger effs up the whole page's layout)


-American architect Stephen Holl's winning design for jaw-droppingly futuristic and sleek new building in Copenhagen, with a pedestrian footbridge linking both sides of the harbor. Now, if possible, i'm even more excited about the prospect of meeting up with my london flatmates in sweet nymphette louise's hometown of copenhagen next summer.
-the pumpkin pie yogurt i purchased this eventide in a heinously expensive Target run. trying to find a photo of it led me to another obsession -- an entire website dedicated to all things pumpkin. maren & i were just discussing last nite over Flossmoor Station's Big Black Pumpkin beer that when we achieve our life dream and open our organic restaurant in northern california, we will have a pumpkin patch and that ingredient will be all OVER our menu. (i....will eat anything involving that cheerful rotund fruit.)

that's right, that's obama up there with pumpkins, saying YES WE CAN EAT PUMPKIN-FLAVORED FOODSTUFFS EVERY SINGLE DAY.
