0 London, baby!

Hey, I'm going to London tonight to see Bex and Will! Knowing us, the top priorities will be eating and drinking, but we're also going to a play on Saturday and do some sight-seeing. I haven't been to London since I was twelve, and I'm looking forward to exploring it with real Londoners this time. Right now, I can't imagine being in a country where everything's in English.


Also, Day 4: A Song that Makes You Sad. It doesn't get much sadder or more beautiful than this one. Finding this video led me to the rest of RA&C's BBC Sessions from 2007, which includes all the best songs from Easy Tiger performed to perfection.

0 A song that makes me happy

You're not surprised, are you?

And other things to brighten your day, because it's cold where you are, and it's raining in Bergerac.

1 Your Least Favorite Song

This is another tough one, because when you hear a song you hate, you try to forget about it as soon as possible. But I would say that I never turned the radio station so fast as when anything by Nickelback came on.

0 30 Day Song Challenge

At my dad's suggestion - and in lieu of some photos that won't be posted on here for a little while - I'm going to do the 30 Day Song Challenge.

Day 1: Your Favorite Song


Although it's basically impossible for me to pick one song I love more than any other, this was the first one that came to mind. To fully appreciate it you also need to watch the first minute of the following video. It breaks my heart every time.

0 Lens error

Last weekend something funky happened to my lens and I had to send my camera in to be repaired. I feel like I'm missing a limb. The biggest bummer is that my travel plans are picking up soon: London next weekend, Madrid over April break. Keep your fingers crossed for a speedy repair.

But I wouldn't leave you empty-handed! You can watch me and Ben sing "When the Stars Go Blue" here.

0 Bordeaux nights

I'm not leaving.

0 All my troubles in the rearview mirror

Ben and I performed at the open mic at Houses of Parliament in Bordeaux on Wednesday night, and at Plus que Parfait in Bergerac on Thursday. To start, here is a video from Wednesday night of us playing "Keep it There" by The Weepies. The sound quality is less than ideal, but I think you'll get the gist.
