TT3: Fleet Foxes Sun it Rises

This entire album is the very soundtrack of my trip to Eastern Europe. It reminds me of many moments from that trip, but MOST vividly, it reminds me of Kiev. I still dream about Kiev and the monastaries and communist apartment buildings and dazzling trolleys and subways. And I hear these songs and I am immediately there.

I especially recommend Ragged Wood and White Winter Hymnal, but the whole album is another time and place so sweet, so bright, and so unearthly that it makes me want to spit fire at the monotony of a desk job and whisk myself and my dearest love away to the cold and steamy air of the good people of Ukraine and live out our days in a freezing 10th floor cement apartment building teaching english and never looking back.

Tidings of Comfort, Victory, and GIVEAWAYS!!!!!

1. My Cranberry pie finally won! After a tragic finish at an ugly sweater party, and being overshadowed by the chocolate pecan pie at Thanksgiving, my Nantucket Cranberry Pie (which I took to the next level with a chocolate cream cheese icing) got first place at the office holiday party Top Chef competition. I am happy. 2. I also coincidentally won a caption contest on my favorite horse blog, and for my witty mockery was awarded a gift certificate for horse tack! As I currently don't have a horse of my own, I'm giving it to Camp K. I hope my mother and her 3 horses, 2 mules and 2 donkeys forgive me. But I'm still claiming victory on that one, and relishing in being mentioned on my favorite blog in the same post as my international heroes. 3. GIVEAWAY!!!! I was inspired by a number of blogs giving away x-boxes, TVs, designer handbags, and gift cards to the moon, but I decided that you don't actually need to be rich to share the lo...

MotherMare

There is no getting around it: I was indoctrinated at a very young age. I was the baby, and I was the last chance mom had for early imprinting of equine addition (EIEA, pronounced EEEAAAAHHHH!!!) Some people say that it's something you grow into or learn- that it can be cured, that it's a temptation or a lifestyle. While my mother's imprinting certainly aided the illness, I can't help but feel that somehow, in someway, I was born this way. Ergo, my equine birthday tribute to my equine mother- the best kind of tribute. Mom, this shirt is wildly awesome, and if you still own it, you should still wear it. I think I have that hat now. Let me know when you want it back. Little did you know then that I would steal the hat right off your head, did you? Also, you look exactly the same. Gorgeous-like. (also, don't be embarrassed, because I am totally about to embarrass me too, and then we're even.) The horse that started it all. Mom w...
