Music for your Sunday

20.11.11

saw caitlin rose last weekend (she was opening for hayes carll), and she was amazing. found a great youtube for her. picked up her CD for $10 at the show and haven't stopped listening to it since. this is one of my favorites.

hope y'all enjoy!




New Orleans - Mandina's!

16.11.11

so i was going through some of my old pictures, and came across some old pictures of places that i'd eaten and hadn't done a review on!

there are also some old random pictures that will make their way onto this blog somehow or another...but that is for another time or place.

so onto mandina's in, where else? nola! this place is tucked away, hidden where only the locals can know about it. it's way off bourbon, and if you asked me, i wouldn't be able to tell you. i could google it for you and let you know, but i'm a little lazy and don't want to. onto the food!!



come on now...who doesn't love neon?!


the inside of the place. very small, with a bar across the front, and a few tables scattered across the floor. the service was so great though!


turtle soup! believe it or not, it really wasn't as gross as it sounds. and i'd never had it before, so i definitely had to try it!


some kind of fish friend in deliciousness. i wish i could remember the name of it, but it was so filling, the fries were unnecessary. but that doesn't mean they weren't eaten!


and of course, finish it off with a blurry picture of a shrimp po'boy. unfortunately, i'm boring, and this is what i got. and it wasn't the best one i've had in nola. but it was definitely good!

planning to celebrate the new year in nola this year too. i CAN NOT wait for this excitement!




Happy Things

14.11.11

So in light of me being a grumpy Gus lately, I've decided to post a few things that have been making me super happy/excited lately...

So I got this from Design Dazzle, and thought this was the most fabulous thing ever and of course to celebrate Deathly Hallows Part 2 being available....voila!!

Okay, yes I wouldn't mind having Aaron Rodgers delivered to my doorstep, but I'll take tickets to the Superbowl in Indy.


*p.s. they play tonight. wish them luck! go pack go!*



Caught

13.11.11

People are sometimes so interesting when they think no one is looking. They are also so sweet sometimes!! We went to Steeplechase a couple weekends ago, which is a little horse race in Columbus, GA. Besides missing the memo on the dress and boots dress code, I happened to get in some really good shots.

I just wanted to share a few of the sweet ones I caught of people when they thought no one was watching. Yep, just call me creeper.




I've gotten back into my photography, which is really good and super therapeutic. I have been in need of some good therapy lately. I have been super negative and have been in a rut, which is why I've ignored the blog. Haven't wanted to spread my awesome bad mood...

Hopefully I'll be back in the world's good graces. I have so many posts swirling in my head, and I need to get them out!
