Karmin Covers

I should start off by thanking Eesa! 

It's cos of something he posted on Facebook that I discovered this duo.

Amy and Nick. Together, a band called Karmin.

You can check out their stuff on 

Karminmusic.com

Or their Youtube pages:

I still haven't finished listening to it all, but from what I've heard, I really like these two.

It's safe to say that Amy is 'something else'!

A badass white chick who raps, has crazy vocals and plays guitar.

And like in this video, sometimes she does it all at the same time!

'I need a doctor' is one of my favourtite covers by them.

Check out, 'Written in the Stars', 'Someone Like You', 'Look at me now' and 'Forget you' too. I'm sure there are more, but these are some I've heard and liked. Still to check out the original stuff.

I should probably add, that while Amy kinda steals the show with all the talent (no need to mention she's the pretty girl!) I think Nick, who's a good singer himself, provides some solid support. I love the harmonies.

Enough said. This is more to tell you to check 'em out for yourselves. 

=)

I'm going to go COOKooo!

I have officially been informed that I will no longer be provided with breakfast.

* PANICS!*

OK. No.

Not REALLY panicking! 

This benefit or luxury is being withdrawn by my wonderful father/breakfast maker, with a view to making me more self- ... what's the word? 'reliant'? 'sufficient'? 

Independent?

Whatever man! (In the spirit of recent chain-messaging [for those who know what I'm talking about.])

But, reluctantly, I concede that this new change in circumstance is much required. 

Especially considering, that in the near future, I will need to, at least, KNOW the basics of what goes on in a kitchen.

I have friends who will whole heartedly testify to my ignorance when it comes to all things - KITCHEN.

Well, save for the eating.

I'm freakin' ACE at the eating.

Anyway,

I've just never gotten down to cooking, or even experimenting with it.

And I've always lived off the comfort of having parents who are awesome at it, and a sister who GOT awesome at it only after she got married. 

Well, I'm NO-where close to getting married and I'm going to leave my parents for a little while soon.

Yes, basically...

SCREWED! 

(Eating out can happen only so much. *makes gesture that you can't see so this is pointless*)

For all these reasons,

even though the thought of not being provided with awesome-big-breakfasts from tomorrow makes me sad,

I'm kicked.

It is finally time (and THERE IS FINALLY TIME) to take on Food Production! =P

I am open to all kinds of tips and easy recipes.

EASY.

In case that didn't register.

Healthy also, but EASY first.

Let's see how this goes. 

More Stuff

Began the mini-series 'The Pillars of the Earth' yesterday.

It may be a work of fiction, but I think it's superbly done and even works of fiction aren't entirely baseless. 

Worth a watch/ read for sure!

I am also now in love with Eddie Redmayne.

Smiley face Marshmellows =)

(Tend to look a lil creepy if you don't squeeze them right.)

Remember that thing I was saying about big breakfasts?

Yes. Forever! =)

Today, I will do more studying than anything else.

Really.

Storytime

'Cause that's what it is.
This is our story.
Ok. This (as in, this blog) is mostly mine.
But these moments... they're ours. 


(This is all stemming from one long epic conversation about everything and it all seems very out of context now, so never mind... Just think about YOUR story, later. I'm sure you'll pause and go "whoa!" for a moment. And with every fibre of my being, I hope the "whoa!" is one of good feeling.)


I'm finally done with the 'submissions' for the the fourth year of my course.
And for us, if you survive submissions and vivas, exams are quite a breeze.
(If you have enough of a gap in between, that is.)
But, stress levels are definitely a lot more in control.
Life seems FUN and full of positive energy again.
Not that it wasn't before,
but lets just say... 
HUGE difference!


So, I've been up to a whole lot of uplifting things since the submissions got done...
which include peaceful studying for an upcoming paper.
Most (not all) of these things I could capture in a picture... 
So, starting from the morning of my last submission to today,
this is my picture story.
(obviously I don't have evidence of everything, but this is what it is so far...)

The mess that was home and college, until we were finished. 

Once and for all.

Now, in no particular order...

The fun stuff!

Finally catching up on movies, and watching some again!

Catching up with friends in more ways than just chatting! =)

(this also amounted to some self discovery. More on that in the next post!)

Got some new reading material, branching out from what I'm used to, for sure.

Doing what I love, and not just in the shower!

Karaoke! 

Sweet Emotion!!

(the black forest ice cream at Hokey Pokeys. My favourite mistake today! Serendipitous in every way. GO! have!)

Pedicure! Electric blue toes, and soft feet. 

*happy sigh*

Finding a place that brings back memories of the awesomeness that was almost every Sunday in the past! 

And, a happy reunion, of sorts!

Fake tattoos!

Dancing like no one's watching, 'cause no one's watching, 'cause they're all dancing!

=)

Cheers to everything that makes you happy.
