Strolling Dirty

Two roads diverged in a yellow wood,
And sorry I could not travel both
And be one traveler, long I stood
And looked down one as far as I could
To where it bent in the undergrowth.

Then took the other, as just as fair,
And having perhaps the better claim,
Because it was grassy and wanted wear;
Though as for that the passing there
Had worn them really about the same.

And both that morning equally lay
In leaves no step had trodden black.
Oh, I kept the first for another day!
Yet knowing how way leads on to way,
I doubted if I should ever come back.

I shall be telling this with a sigh
Somewhere ages and ages hence:
Two roads diverged in a wood, and I
I took the one less traveled by,
And that has made all the difference.

Music Monday

Tegan & Sara : Back in your head (also would recommend the Tiesto Remix)

 

Yeah Yeah Yeahs- Maps

 

Bill Withers- Ain't no sunshine

I have recently rekindled my love affair with Pandora Radio.  Our relationship was strained, when I spent continuous hours listening to it, while writing papers in the library and used up all my skips only to yank my headphones out of the "radio" in frustration.  As of late, I have become obsessed with the selections via Pandora on the Bon Iver and Florence and the Machine stations. Please enjoy the musical selections above and enjoy an acoustic treasure from Bill Withers, in which you can actually seem him sweating.Garbage Can Chic!

Marshall's Finds

Oh just a yak fur bag (I didn't buy it it's $150.00) Who am I kidding, no one in Clifton park will buy this bag = LARGE discount and alas the yak bag is mine all mine! Muahahaha

Who who who who

Little Owl Cards Perfect for holiday thank you notes!

Cat food dish shaped like my favorite snack...goldfish!

I love Marshall's, it could be because of many factors.  I am poor but like nice things, my mother has been dragging me there since I was born, and shopping in the capital region blows (no off the ave and no nordstrom rack (my fav), or urban.  We have a mall that has an abercrombie, hollister, and macys though (KILL ME).

I used to only get clothes and shoes at Marshall's, but have become obsessed with every bit of the store.  Like anything, you have to search for the stuff you like through the trenches of garbage; but, if you look you shall find some little treasures just for you.

Nature Sunday

November has been awesomely warm upstate, making it perfect for Sunday funday nature excursions.  This week I decided to visit a Peace pagoda and a lake in Grafton, New York.

Where are we? Oh just road tripping to Tibet.

Creeeeepy.

Note: This Peace Pagoda was built by Jun Yasuda, who belongs to the Nipponzan Myohoji order. Back in 1978, she walked from San Francisco to Washington, D.C. with Native Americans as part of the "longest walk," a coordinated peace movement. And since then, she's walked cross-country several time in the name of peace. In 1983, she was offered a parcel of land in Grafton, N.Y. and two years later, work got underway on a monument for peace.  It was built by volunteers through many donations. The Grafton Peace Pagoda was dedicated in 1993 and it's been attracting visitors from around the world ever since.Source
