Twelve Pictures of My Day... And Six Songs of the Moment

It was the 12th on Friday. Everything you need to know is here.

9:10 a.m. - Last minute tunes.

Grabbing some tunes before I head off to Century City for the day. This particular morning, I'm downloading Thao With the Get Down Stay Down.


9:19 a.m. - How long has this been there?

There are so many pretty murals in Silver Lake/Echo Park/Los Feliz. How have I never seen this one?




9:25 a.m. - I've made a huge mistake.

Being the Friday before a holiday weekend, I figured traffic might be light and that the freeway was a good idea. I was wrong.


10:35 a.m. - Chocolate croissant.

Grabbed a croissant at Trimana Salad Got Soup. Weirdest name ever. But this croissant beats the heck out of the stale ones over at Starbucks.


12:58 p.m. - Inside the Death Star.

In true chick-lit cliche fashion, I dragged Kyle shopping with me. We cut through the CAA lobby on the way over. It's pretty, no?

1:47 p.m. - Fashion show! Fashion show! Fashion show at lunch!

Whenever I try to take a picture of myself, I always end up with one really bizarre one. You're lookin' at it. Anyway, this is the outfit I bought. I'm pretty pleased with my selection. Thanks, Gap!


2:15 p.m. - Reason #183748927 I love Kyle Taylor.

So, the original plan was for Kyle and I to hit the Subway at the mall before we went back to the office. Unfortunately, shopping took a little longer than we anticipated. I asked Kyle if he'd mind just picking mine up when he went over -- I had to get back to set up a 2 p.m. meeting for my boss. Well, I got back from putting people in the conference room and this was on my desk (6" turkey breast on white with avocado only). Two minutes later, I chastised Kyle for not getting himself anything. I did not intend for him to go and just get my lunch. Sigh. Love that kid.


3:25 - Everything He Ever Wanted.

Putting together a care package for an actor. Also, for some reason, my fug ID picture is in here, too. And a Sharpie?


3:46 p.m. - Starbucks Part Deux.

This time with drinks for people other than Kyle and me. I almost love the Starbucks Valentine's cups more than their Christmas cups. Adorable. I love love. For those keeping score at home, this is a Venti Shaken Black Iced Tea Lemonade (No Sweetener), a Venti Shaken Black Iced Tea (No Sweetener), and a Tall Chai Tea Latte.


7:53 p.m. - Checking out my haul.

Leaving Gelson's with my groceries and other items obtained at the Westfield Century City during Shopping Part Deux.


8:16 p.m. - I've made a huge mistake. (Again.)

Normally, the freeway wouldn't be an issue this time of night. Especially on a Friday. It took me nearly an hour to get home. I had to fight the urge to weep.


10:33 p.m. - Back To The Computer.

This time it's nothing as fun as cashing in eMusic credits. I'm balancing my check register. Gross.


Here are six songs that are currently rocking -- or mellowing, as the case may be with these -- my world. Enjoy!

"Fill Our Wounds" - In-Flight Safety - This is one of the few songs I have on my iPhone and, as such, it's one of the few songs that plays when my iHome wakes me up in the morning. Just beautiful. Between this and "Model Homes," I feel like I need to obtain the rest of the album. Logging in to eMusic in 5, 4, 3...

"Me and Jane Doe" - Charlotte Gainsbourg - I can't stop singing, "Me and Jane Doe and Rousseau. We've got nowhere to go..." over and over again. Just a beautiful little song. Heck, the whole album ("IRM") is good, which isn't surprising given that it was produced by Beck.

"When We Swam" - Thao With the Get Down Stay Down - If you're not smiling during this song, there's something wrong with you. Seriously. Get help. (Plus, the name of the band tickles me.)

"Zebra" - Beach House - Le sigh. Oh, you wanted more commentary than that?

"The Ballad of Love and Hate" - The Avett Brothers - I discovered Avett through KCRW when Jason Bentley played the gorgeous "I and Love and You." This one is my favorite, though. I'm shocked that it's never been on the television before.

"Gun" - Emiliana Torrini - Here's a less-mellow song for you. This one's just badass.

Have a great week, everyone! I know I will. Kicking it off with a trip to Disneyland tomorrow.
