Life Lately

I've been doing a bit of work to my room and so far I've gotten 2 walls painted, my desk moved to the corner I want it in, and the first of my movie shelves put up!  It's impossible to tell what color I've chosen for my walls in these photos, after editing them for Instagram, but they're a really pretty eggshell blue.  I'll post real photos once everything is complete!

I'm going to have to start digging out all of my movie related toys and such to help decorate the edges of these shelves!  I love my vintage little ET toy :)  I had no idea how many movies I'd be able to set up on these shelves, but once I got these up it kinda put it into perspective for me.  I've got them all stored in about 6 crates and this was only one and a half crates worth!  Once I paint one of the empty walls I'm going to line the center with these shelves, but double the length.  I can't wait to get everything put up!  I've finally gotten my record player out and can't wait to paint this little table I've got it on.  I'm not sure what color I'm going to go with yet, but it's starting to feel like me.  This Wildewoman record by Lucius has become one of my favorites.  If you haven't heard them before, give them a listen!

If I had known a year ago that Monty Python would be doing a live performance in London, I would have seriously saved all the money I could to buy tickets and fly out there to see the show.  Watching it live from a local theater was the next best thing though, and it was such a great show!  It was sad knowing it was their last performance as a group...like saying goodbye, but I'm so happy I was able to be part of the experience!

My Week In Photos // 1

I've decided to switch things up just a bit and start sharing photos every Monday of my everyday life.  I recently FINALLY upgraded to a smart phone and love that I can take and edit photos on the go!  This also means that you can now find me on Instagram (which you can check out HERE)!

Random photo of me + the most awesomely cute cell phone case that I bought from THIS SHOP!

Blue Is The Warmest Color!  Finally!  I haven't watched it yet (hopefully I can fit it in this week!), but I've been really excited about this film for a really long time.  Also, I finished The Shining!  I just started Doctor Sleep, and I'm totally loving it :)

I was soooo bummed out this weekend when I found out that The Grand Budapest Hotel wasn't showing at a theater near us!  Ughhh!  We did go see the new 300 movie though and it was pretty awesome.  I really didn't like the first one when it originally came out.  My 'then' boyfriend took me to see it and I didn't know anything about it.  I do appreciate stylized films now though and really loved this new one.  Speaking of stylized films...have you seen the preview for the new Sin City?  Put simply...it looks bad ass.  Also...I've been eating healthier since the start of my weight loss challenge and have been making breakfast smoothies every now and then.  This one contained soy milk, mango, banana, kiwi, pineapple, and spinach.  YUM!

I can't believe my hair has gotten so long!  I rocked the pixie and bob cuts for so long (and even the shaved head look) for so long.  I thought I'd never grow it out this long again.  I'm getting the itch to chop again though, so that might be something you'll see in a few months.  If I do, I'll miss being able to throw my hair up into a bun.

It seems like no matter what, my nails never look consistent as far as length goes.  One ends up getting chipped or something and then I chop it off along with the rest of them.  I actually managed to keep them all fairly well kept though last week though!  The photo on the left is Light A Candle and the photo on the left is The Next CEO.

I'm pet-sitting my friends Ball Python Oliver for a few months!  I think I'll probably always have a snake in the house.  I love 'em!  Brando has been such a sweetie lately.  He's always a sweetie, but he's been extra affectionate and I love it!
