When Rachel Bilson wore this green studded shift by Stretsis, I fell in love with it. It was featured in a few magazines, and the $700+ price tag was over my head.

Then she stole the style and put it in her new line Edie Rose for DKNY. I don’t really care about the line but I love that dress, and it looks great in yellow too. It’s so mine.

I really like Melissa Joy Manning’s rings. They’re so raw and organic. I normally never wear rings, but these are very pretty to admire.

My group and I have been reading ahead on our theory section in efforts to have more time to work on our final papers (which I have yet to begin researching…). Now I’m okay with our topic being kind of dry and I’m even okay with doing the readings (since our entire class is nothing but reading textbooks and research papers), but I’m not okay with one reading that is so dense that it doesn’t make sense. I’m going to hate thought verbalization before I even begin implementing the methodology–if ever.

People may develop expectations about which types of thoughts will be readily accessible to them, and let those expectations affect their processing goals. For example, whether or not people think it will be easy to produce a certain type of thinking once they know the message’s source or point of view may influence what thoughts they try to produce in preparation for the message.

How about I verbalize some thought for you. If you are giving an example to a more theoretical concept, how about using a real example that is applicable in reality than providing a conjectural one. Just a hint for the rest of the paper because this wasn’t even the confusing part.

And that’s just local news.

Kristan and I have been watching So You Think You Can Dance and it’s amazing. (I love Katee.) So I don’t usually pay attention to the music, but I heard The Garden by Mirah and went AHHH!!, screaming like Mary Murphy.

I think I really like Mirah’s music and style.
