Day One Hundred Twenty Eight

The Weepies.

If you know this band, you love them.

If you haven't listened, you better.

"Be My Thrill" is their newest album.  

So many great hits.

Personal Weepies favorites:

World Spins Madly On

All This Beauty

Gotta Have You

Such wonderful low-key listenings.

Was introduced to the weepies by the Salt Lake Lonely Boy (aka Mr. Ryan Snow) during freshman year. 

The Weepies.

I fell in love.  Their music is incredible.  

This is the band I never get sick of.

No amount of coffee,
no amount of cryin'
No amount of whiskey, no amount of wine 

No no no no no,
nothing else will do

(chorus from Gotta Have You)

You know there will be days when you're so tired that you can't take another step,

The night will have no stars 
and you'll think you've gone as far as you will ever  get. . . 

I can't really say why everybody wishes they were somewhere else

But in the end, the only steps that matter are the ones you take all by yourself

(from Can't Go Back Now)

Sometimes it's hard to say

Even one thing true

When all eyes have turned aside

They used to talk to you

And people on the streets seem to disapprove

So you keep moving away

And forget what you wanted to say

(from Little Bird)

Day One Hundred Twenty Seven

Meet Oscar

Meet Bella.

Dog sitting.
A fun little something for the week.
Look at their eyes- creepy, I know.

Day One Hundred Twenty Six

If you all wanted to know . . .

Kevin Costner is thee man.

(Yes, spelled the with a double-e for emphasis).

Have now watched Dances With Wolves 5 out of the last 7 days.

In all his glory, John Dunbar:

The music in this film is absolutely gorgeous- a string infused soundtrack (my personal favorite), great story, beautiful scenery, action packed, romance (Stands With A Fist- woot woot).   

And just 3 hours long. But really.

 If you've been deprived like I was and haven't seen this flick, make some time. 
Peace, Love, Tatonka.

Day One Hundred Twenty Three

So apparently . . . The talk of the town is that I'm a coke addict.

Not coke as in Cola.  Coke as in cocaine.

I mean . . I know that I come off as rough. 

Shady. Suspicious.

But really.

Cocaine??

Come on people.

Let's at least start with a gateway drug?

White/Middle-Class/Mormon girl starts messing around.  

And goes first for cocaine.

Naturally.

But then again.

Who wouldn't love some of these side effects

agitation, excitability, irritability, nervousness, or restlessness

difficulty passing urine or urinary incontinence

dilated (enlarged) pupils

dizziness, lightheadedness, or fainting spells

fast or irregular heartbeat

headache

increased sweating

mood swings or other mental changes

nausea, vomiting

nervous tics or rapid speech

numbness or tingling in the hands, feet, or arms

stomach pain

tremor

troubled breathing (hyperventilation)

unusual muscle weakness

Good stuff.

Day One Hundred Nineteen

A full day off.  Praise the heavens.

Decided to venture off to the little town of Gardiner, Montana.
Cruised through the park on the way.

Passing through Mammoth in Yellowstone.
Prrrretty.

This post office- it spoke to me.  Isn't it gorgeous?

Welcome.

These two needed a lift.  I couldn't help myself.

Better me drive them to Gardiner than some creep.  Right?
We had a good time anyway.

The hills are alive.

Time for a new read.

 

Walked all around the town, had a bite to eat, relaxed.
Cute little place.
Thanks, Gardiner.

Day One Hundred Eighteen

Microburst? In West Yellowstone?

Who would have thought.

Apparently did not make the cut as a "tornado" due to the fact that it didn't completely touch ground.  The effects, however, definitely did.  

These are some pictures taken by mother after we literally watched the whole thing  happen while cruising back into town from Big Sky.  Probably not the safest thing to drive around town amongst the sirens and storm, minutes after the burst, snapping pictures and catching as much of the action as we could.

Good piece of drama for the townies.  And tourists.

Day One Hundred Sixteen

Everyone should listen to this at least twice today.

"For Emma" - Bon Iver
