new playlist

i am a designer first but due to the current economical state i like to call "poo" i was forced to look elsewhere for work- and found it at sephora. i've been in customer service before but this is one job i actually L.O.V.E. because (1) there's makeup everywhere, (2) i get to put that makeup on myself and others, (3) there are so many ways i still get to be creative, and (4) the music. i love the playlist we have ( i think we use muzak) and this week i set forth on a personal mission to find out what songs we play and create my very own sephora playlist on my ipod.

here are some of the songs i was able to find:

magnificent- u2
boys with girlfriends- meiko
gorgeous- girl next door
epiphany- chrisette michele
give it to me- madonna
that's not my name- the ting tings
again + again- the bird and the bee
up- the saturdays
fidelity- regina spektor
talk of the town- pretenders
raw sugar- metric
you, me + the bourgeoisie- the submarines
love etc.- pet shop boys
jetstream- new order
runaway- ladytron
tristesse joie- yelle
what am i gonna do- the saturdays
come as you were- the bird and the bee
fancy footwork- chromeo
relax, take it easy- mika
rise + shine- the cardigans
trouble- bitter:sweet
major tom- shiny toy guns

i should just subscribe to that music id service on my cell phone. this would be a lot easier....

a break from hibernation

it's been a while.. but life is crazy like that. been busier than ever since i was able to score a full time job- even better, i happen to L.O.V.E. it. sadly, the 9-to-5 has taken its toll on my bedroom reno. i had finally found the world's most adorable vintage bedframe on craigslist for a reasonable $50 and that set the decorating shenanigans into motion. but at this moment i am in HGTV purgatory. old pieces are stuck in there because i haven't found suitable replacements; my closet must have swine flu because it keeps throwing up on my floor; and then there's this problem of me needing time to fix the issue and not being able to find enough to do it.

blah.

i shall post pics when i feel my room is worthy of this wee little blog.
