This Epic Music Post will change your life. Not.

Long time no see, hu?

Well, oompa loompas, I've been busy. Not excuse-me-I'm-doing-number-2-busy, but excuse-me-I'm-finally-finishing-my-really-important-studies-on-topics-no-one-is-interested-in-except-really-old-people-with-ugly-brown-sweaters-busy. Alot of stuff happened since we last met:

1) Summer (I actually wrote this post before summer, so excuse me for any girl anachronisms)

2) We sometimes felt the urge to escape...


3)...just to realize that coming back and making pancakes might be the actual answer to nearly every problem we encounter (No money? Pancakes. Sad? Pancakes. Hungry? Pancakes. Not hungry? Pancakes. Everybody is so mean to me? Pancakes. I hate my curly hair? Pancakes. My feet and back hurt? Pancakes.)

I got a bucketful of questions from you, but unfortunately I forgot them all immediately after you told me due to acute brain and memory deterioration caused by looking at too many cute Asian baby videos.


I'm sure your questions were really important and life-changing and stuff, but well. Try making pancakes, mmkkkkk?

To give you further prove of my self-centered tendencies and web 2.0 addiction, I decided to let you in on one of my biggest secrets (if you want to know about the other one, the answer is El Vital Conditioner Spray for frizzy hair). It concerns a topic I never ever talk about. Righto brighto, it's about music!

I'm quite impatient at the moment, since Gagamy brought me a Venti Caramel Latte to work today. Trust me when I say this: Beth Ditto could feed off of this thing for one week and additionally it gives you an idea about how cocaine must feel (Dear future employer, that was a joke).

Because of my impatience I will do the 30 day song challenge in less than a day. Starting now!
