On this day in 2004...

I feel like a total Uncle Rico when I hear this song, as I would love to go back to 2004 when this song was #1 on the charts (today, actually).   I seem to recall the "Yeah"-era being a really good time in my life. 

Do you feel that way about certain songs?  I have a similar affinity for Nelly's "Country Grammar."

Pandora Station du Jour

I really should be titling this post "Grooveshark Jam of the Day."   Have you tried this site yet?

While we're on the topic of music, I might as well mention my latest shameless iTunes purchase.  RiRi is not being very subtle here, that's for sure.  This also gets an A+ in the ultimate boyfriend revenge playbook.

Love the neutral jacket and the denim mix.  Mixing denim is really a skill few possess.  

Have I mentioned how happy I am that it's March???

Desert, Camels, Jewelry

I wonder if I could successfully pitch "Dubai Shore" or "Gulf of Oman Shore" to MTV?   Desert, camels jewelry doesn't quite add up to ratings gold as Jersey Shore's GTL, but hey, I'd be happy to ship off to the desert for half of Snooki's salary.    Seriously.

Grooveshark = Pandora 2.0 x 1000

Friends. 

I made a huge discovery last Friday afternoon.   Grooveshark.  Have you heard of this?  Am I the last to know?  You know I love Pandora for music, but this is taking it to another level.   It's simply amazing.   For example, I have found the most amazing mash-up of Phil Collins' "Something Happened on the Way to Heaven" mixed with Belinda Carlisle's "Heaven is a Place on Earth."  

Umm, excuse me.  Am I dead?   I think I'm officially in heaven.   If you search for it, it's on the "Mash-up Your Bootz Party" remix album.   Don't miss the Rihanna-Vampire Weekend mash-up while you're listening...

The Trip

Home... and this snow in Charlottesville is killing me!  I'm ready to go back.

I need another day before I can really post about the trip, but it was incredible.  

Here are a few more shots... in no particular order:

Homeward Bound

London calling... as along as I don't miss my flight from Dubai!

Drink Me

My sister and I routinely pick up a bottle of this wine at Whole Foods at least twice a week.   At least. 

I will definitely be looking forward to a night of Criminal Minds and a few glasses of this when I get home.   And some Thai food.
