Approaching Normal

Currently listening/seriously addicted to: Blue October

check out their website here.

I cannot say, which song or album is my favourite. They're all so different. 

They're all so good.

Something about Justin Furstenfeld, singer/guitarist and songwriter of Blue October:

When not touring with his band, Furstenfeld resides in San Marcos, Texas. He is the brother of Blue October drummer, Jeremy Furstenfeld. He has a daughter named Blue (born in 2007) to whom several of the songs on the current Blue October album Approaching Normal are dedicated. Justin Furstenfeld has battled withbipolar disorder through most of his life. He has his condition under control, saying in an interview that "I'm not a danger to myself [anymore]." According to a VH1 online article about the band, "Into the Ocean" has had an impact on many listeners who may have been contemplating suicide. Growing up, Furstenfeld listened to hip-hop, rock, country, dance; his favorite artists included Marvin Gaye, The Smiths, Red House Painters and Pink Floyd.His first musical memory was Roy Orbinson's ballad, "Crying" During his high school years at Houston's prest igious High School for the Performing and Visual Arts(HSPVA), he formed a band The Last Wish, which he played in from the age of 13 until 1995. When performing solo, Furstenfeld uses the moniker 5591, the number 5591 being his patient number when he was admitted to a mental institution following a breakup with his then-girlfriend Amanda. He tells this story in the confessionals on the Argue With a Tree DVD (found in the Special Features). He has written over 500 songs and counts among his influences: Micheal Stipe, The Cure, The Pixies, Peter Gabriel, Idaho, Elliot Smith, Blue Miller, George Winston, Jean Michel Basquiat and U2. Furstenfeld is also an artist, and his paintings have appeared on the covers of two Blue October albums, The Answers and History for Sale. His artwork is also featured on T-shirts and posters for the band.

Wishing for weekday- again

I'm in love with swedisch fashion. 

Whilst Weekday or Monki seem to be unreachable in sweden/ denmark and only there, brands like acne or filippa K are represented here in Germany, too although the prices are not affordable in my small budged.

Skandinavian fashion- that is pure, clear, almost cool but in an eco-friendly and innovative way.

Simplicity in his beauty.

Nebula

Orion nebula. definately my favourite.

ah. isn't it breathtaking?

& by the way: as I was looking for pictures like this (for a t-shirt I'm planning to print with a picture of the orion nebula and a pretty cute- in an kinda intimating way- sentence), I discovered a band named Nebula. I immediatly went to youtube to find some of their songs, but the choice was actually quite unsatisfactory. So I searched for their official website, which you can find here.

They're also quite a few mp-3s to listen to online... Honestly, I was sitting infron of my computer, hoping, hoping this band would have great music, as they have the best name in the worrrrld. 

AH, they do.

Not totally-stunning/ strikingly-genius, but I like it.

This seems to be their current album, although I could neithe find it on youtube nor on itunes/ istore..., anyway, I adore it. I'd also love to posses a band shirt of them, first because of their name...., second because noobobody knows the and they're so not mainstream, ah how I'd love that.

 Listen to my current favourite Nebula songs (as if I'd know all...) here. (Hope it works...)

I've been waiting so long, too long

Our new sewing machine hasn't arrived yet, which drives  me crazy...

But my new camera (Canon EOS 450 D) came wednesday, which will be distracting me for quite a while, I think... haha.

And, I've finally cleaned my room and I'm almost finished. Ahh, my mind is working again.

I need books, more books. I gotta take a look at my  mother's again...

blah, isn't life booring? Mine at least, I'm convinced.
