two suns

i went home last night with relaxation as my only goal. i spent the evening primping and pampering and curled up in my bed with a cup of coffee. so, i'd have to say "goal achieved". unfortunately though my dear ladies have all been sick recently and I now think i'm coming down with something too. i decided to not care what anyone thinks and brought my aroma therapy bed buddy to work today. it smells something like lavender and burnt rice, but it makes my lower back feel a little less uncomfortable, so i'd say it's worth it. i'll spend the rest of the day sipping hot tea and keeping up on cold medication. my family is coming to visit me this weekend, which is amazing since it's never happened before. so hopefully I can hold off this sickness, at least through the weekend.

i bought a new camera last weekend and i'm getting anxious to put it to some use. i'm a longtime, satisfied fujifilm customer and my first time canon purchase is making me a bit nervous, but i'm sure i'll love it. it'll just take some getting use to. hopefully the frigid temperatures will subside so i can finally put it to use.
some

i purchased some new tunes last night that i'm pretty excited to listen to today. somewhere along the line i fell behind in regards to keeping up with new music and most of all with keeping up with the artists i already love. due to general business and time and distance constraints i've found it hard to make it to a music store and i've found it hard to become use to digital music purchases. no longer do i have to pick and choose from what the record store can offer me, i now have it all at my finger tips. i could have it all! alas, i don't think that my pocket book would be too happy with me though. so, i have a lot of catching up to do. last night i became the proud owner of the following:
~bat for lashes-two suns
~devendra banhart-rejoicing in the hands
and
~orenda fink-ask the night
so far i've only managed to listen to bat for lashes, which was probably the purchase i was most excited about. fur and gold is one of my all time favorite albums, this purchase has been a long time coming. i love it so far, but i already knew i would. here's a video for your viewing pleasure:
