Not that I don’t love my beautiful red kitchenaid, but I do love this pastel pink!

Here Comes the Sun Again - M. Ward

The leaves on the trees they all call out your name,
Chrome on the freight line shines the same
And the stars in their cars roll their tops down for you singing,
Here comes the sun again 

Brian and I finally went on a date to the aquarium! Photos taken with my iPhone. :)

I love the jellies.

This past Sunday Brian and I drove to L.A to see Andrew Bird for the fifth time! It was our third time at Largo and it remains my favorite venue out of all the ones I’ve been to. There’s not much to say about this concert because it was amazing like all of his other concerts I’ve been to, and for those of you who read or keep up with this tumblr, I’m sure you already know how much I love Andrew Bird/talk about Andrew Bird/swoon over Andrew Bird, etc. Andrew played a lot of newer songs, not much from Noble Beast or anything previously made before that.

A lot of the songs I remembered hearing/seeing can be heard on Useless Creatures and Fingerlings 4, including I and I (which I believe is a version of Oh Baltimore with lyrics). He told us a story about how I and I was created. While he was on tour he would have a hard time sleeping and would make his insomnia worse by thinking about his eyes trying to see themselves, therefore straining them.

… I don’t think I’ve ever thought of my eyes trying to see themselves.

He also mentioned something about his next album being pretty much done, songs were recorded at his barn in Illinois and he’s putting everything together here. Excited! :)

Other than seeing Andrew Bird, the experience was made even more enjoyable because Zach Galifianakis performed some stand up comedy as an opening act! It was a nice surprise and Brian was super excited to see him. I had heard stories of Andrew and Zach being friends because Andrew rents out his house in Venice when he comes to stay in L.A. 

Andrew also performed a few songs with Simone White. She is absolutely stunning and her voice is wonderful. They sound beautiful together and they sang one of my favorite covers, “Oh Sister” by Bob Dylan, together. 

Always looking forward to seeing him again. 

Andrew Bird - Manny’s Montage

From the American Express video commercial! I’ve been waiting for this to be released. You can download this along with the two other songs on the Facebook page.

This lady is so interesting! I love her house, where she lives, and I absolutely adore her crochet projects.

Andrew Bird’s one-man orchestra of the imagination

Oh man, I’ve been waiting to watch this for months! 

Here are a few pictures of what we made in baking lab today. It was so much fun! I’m sad that we only got to have one ham & cheese croissant each- most people preferred to make chocolate chip ones instead. Baking is quickly becoming a love of mine. I’m going to invest in an empire red KitchenAid Artisan 5 quart mixer, most likely as a gift to myself for Christmas. :)

Got to take home this box of yummies today. :) 

Fatal Shore - Andrew Bird 

Ahh, finally. I’ve posted about this song on two other occasions, this one finally full length. 

I know, I post too much about Andrew Bird. What can I say? Favorite artist of all time. I still can’t believe I shook his hand. 

too bad we’ve never been to a museum together, haha

(you should fix this, hint hint.)
