Abuhhhh

I just HAD to post again to include this. I've seen it before but had COMPLETELY forgotten. It's epic.

Inspekt this!

I'm sitting here in my underwear doing my whole morning ritual - breakfast (Cheerios), coffee, "The O.C.", and Facebook/Twitter - and it's now time to turn on some music. What'll it be? Do we go with Regina Spektor's new album? It's mellow and beautiful, as per usual with ReSpekt. I don't know how mellow I'm feeling though. I'm thinking it's better to take your coffee with some Dim Mak - especially their latest mix tape. Oh mama, it's good.

Pretty sure the decision has been made. If I was a celebrity, I would FOR SURE be friends with the likes of Steve Aoki... and Sam Ronson. Forreal.

I'm also really into Lykke Li. She's SO hot, and her music is unreal.

Alright that's all for now - even though Spektro Gel (as my bestie calls her) is too mellow for me today, I still want you to enjoy the first video for her new album.

I am making an effort to blog, I swear.

Lots of different stuff on my iPod lately, but two artists are standing out: Drake and Lily Allen.

Remember when I talked about Degrassi? Well, what I didn't mention was that a while after the original Degrassi (which started in 1987) ended, they started "Degrassi: The Next Generation" in 2001. I think it barely compares to the original, BUT it certainly is entertaining, and maintains a lot of the things I love about the original - raw-ness, real-ness, edginess, etc. Anyway, there's a character named Jimmy played by a certain Aubrey Drake Graham, a.k.a. Drizzy Drake, a HUGE up-and-coming Rap/R&B artist. I have his album (mixtape? I don't know) entitled "So Far Gone" and it's pretty unreal. My fave song is "Little Bit (feat. Lykke Li)". Check it out!!

Then Lily Allen. She needs no introduction, but she's getting serious play with me lately... on iTunes.

Ch-ch-checking in!!!

I know. It's been a while. I will never let Sugar and Gravy go completely though.

Today's news? A new unreal song, obv.

You're in my mind, you're in my heart,
I wish I knew, right from the start,
All my friends say, you'd break my heart,
A heartbreaker, right from the start.

Tweetin'

I am chagrinned. I have neglected this blog. I feel like it's my old toy car and I got a really cool remote control one and have been dedicating so much attention to the new, cool, shiny one, and completely ignoring my old, beaten-up racecar... or really any such analogy...

In other news, racecar is a palindrome, and so is the phrase: "Never odd or even". Coooool.

So yeah - time to reboot Sugar and Gravy a bit, eh? Get some new entries in and try to be a little more consistent? You betcha, I will.

I'm getting adjusted by a chiropractor this morning. It's kinda hilarious because this chiropractor adds me to Twitter and sees (palindrome!) that my birthday is coming up (tomorrow) and offers me a free adjustment. I've never been adjusted before... I wonder what it will consist of. Will it be painful? Whatever... it's one of those things that just comes out of nowhere and you've gotta pounce on the opportunity, I think. I never used to do shit like this, but like my best friend W. and I realized yesterday, or rather, acknowledged, I'm a totally different person than I was 6 months ago. Or not totally different, but vastly different, I think.

Anyway, gotta get dressed and ready to be adjusted.

BI ALERT!

I know... I haven't posted in forever.

In truth, I got a new blog. It's anonymous and will stay that way, but needless to say I've gotten a little preoccupied with it. That said, I don't intend to abandon my most lovely Sugar and Gravy, just bear with me.

Anyway, today's news is:
Sia (singer of "Breathe Me" - one of the most beautiful songs ever, and also the last song ever played on "Six Feet Under") is bisexual and is dating JD Samson of Le Tigre.

Tell me, does it get any better?

A little V-Day love

This is something I find strange: when a task makes a person anxious, they are likely not to want to perform the task. However, if they really have no choice in the matter and must do the task, upon completing the task, they are likely to feel really satisfied and accomplished. These kinds of anxiety-causing tasks come up often, yet each time (despite knowing the satisfaction we will feel) we are still hesitant to perform them. Another life mystery, I suppose.

I am on reading break from university and am spending the majority of the week in my hometown of Toronto, Ontario. My reading weeks have always been supreme relaxation time, and I don't see this year's as being any different. Among my plans are: sleeping, having a sauna (or two... or three...) at some point, having a bath, eating well, getting some schoolwork and extracurricular work done, and preparing myself mentally and emotionally to get back to the grind next Monday.


Anyway, on to more interesting things...
In honour of Valentine's Day having just happened, the following is a list of things that I love:

(searching for) new music, fierce fashion (especially when it includes really bright colours), really lazy mornings complete with coffee and music, having a personality/vibe that makes people feel really comfortable talking to me about things, therapy, organizing my iTunes library, massages, getting things done...

There are more things obviously, but that's all I can think of for now!

This has been a bit of a boring post, but I can't seem to concentrate on it any longer, so you'll have to forgive me!
