Weekend Habits

Empire of the Sun

On wednesday, the husband surprised me with a night of delicious Korean food at Cha'an, and then to the Paramount for a fabulous visual and audio experience by Empire of the Sun. I had never heard of this band before but now I am totally hooked!

Here are two of my fav songs already. Don't be fooled by their 'over the top' antics, the artistic experience in their live performance is perfection!

Jelly inspirations

I'm back on American soil!! I had an absolute BALL in China and I promise to blog about it soon. Until then I had to share this adorable halloween costume idea for all ages. My fav this season so far.

This totally inspires me to dress up this year!

And what perpetuity! It can act as a fun glow in the dark jelly.

1.3 Billion - here I come!

Tonight I leave on a jet plane to the world's most populous country, China! I will be adventuring for a few weeks through Beijing -> Xi'ian -> Shanghai -> Yangtze River -> Hong Kong, and everywhere in between. I hope to update my blog often in route, but we'll see how ubiquiteous wifi is. I am so excited to eat the food, smell the air, meet the people, shop in the cities, venture in the country, and explore!

Here's to a great trip!

NIMBY?

With all the uproar regarding the burgeoning Ballard development, no wonder people are in an tizzy around Apodments aka microhousing. Flooding into Ballard, these developments are certainly unsightly, but pretty dang financially and environmentally resourceful.  I mean, I'm typically a big fan of urban density development, but now that they are in my backyard I don't know what to think. The verdict is still out on this one...

OITNB

Netflix is really ramping up their original series lately, with House of Cards of course (on of my all time favs), and now Orange is the New Black! If you haven't seen it yet, go watch now! Here are some my fav leading ladies.

Gettin' it

Fall must be here because the kickoff to cyclocross season began this past Sunday. Here are a few pics of my sweetie, doing what he does best, gettin' it. 

Endurance through pain.

Darren and Uncle Lincoln neck-in-neck.

Here's to a great season!
