The Jack White concert was so amazing. 

Stephanie and I are somewhere in that crowd but I'm not going to try too hard to find us. I think it's kind of amazing how many people actually followed their no cell phone rule. They've been asking the audiences throughout the whole tour to not take photos or films and just to relax and enjoy the performance in person. I can agree that so many gigs you go to now, everyone's standing there with their phones and cameras up watching a live stage through a portable screen. You look up at the stage and all you see is a sea of cell phones in front of you and their light kinda messes up your own view. 

Some bands have tried to embrace this (Coldplay for example) but Jack White has gone the other direction and I think it's worked out pretty well actually. I mean, look at that second photo, hardly a phone to be seen, right? I wasn't even tempted to take mine out the whole time. They take photos themselves and put it on his website so that people can just put down the phones for one second and be there. And let's be honest, these photos are a million times better than any of the crappy ones I could have taken. 

Tis the season to complain about moving again. I hate it. I hate packing. I hate having to readjust. I hate getting rid of things. I hate the physical aspect of moving. 

But it can't be helped. 

So instead, let's look at what I did to my mini bookcase! 

Bit drab huh? Well, it was cheap and present, who am I to overlook a bookcase just because it's a bit too plain? After all, those things can change. 

Good thing I was going for crappy vintage look so it doesn't matter if it's got creases and lines right? 

Taaaadaaaaa!

But in all honesty I am beginning to seriously pack. I am sitting amongst a sea of boxes and that's a start right? 

I'm sick, okay? Take pity on me and send me soup. 

EDIT: OH YEAH! 

I forgot to mention, the whole reason I woke up at this horrible time of day (haha 11) was to mention the teas. 

The teas you ask?

You remember those Adventure Time themed teas Kat and I did for Adagio like... two years ago? Oh yeah they are still a thing. Yeah, actually we have like seven of them out (one's out of stock right now though) yeah and for this weekend only they were selected for a fandom blend. Really popular ones gets picked for permanent sampling packages but we'll see how this goes first! Look at iiiiit. 

so pretty.

"So, my friend had a three bean party last night but it was 'bring your own bean'. Who does that?"

Sorry, I'm watching Bob's Burgers and I don't know why I find that so funny but I really do.
Hmmm what has happened since Wednesday?

Mostly work but this weekend has been nice because I've had the apartment all to myself. Don't get me wrong, I love my roommate but no matter what it's always nice to have a few days to yourself. It means you get to wear no pants, play your music loud, have unwarranted control of the washer or dryer, and of course keep everything the crazy ocd way that you like. So, that's basically what I did.

hmmm, not really thinking of anything else at the moment. So uh.... did you know that... this is the end of the post.

Relaxing on my night off by nursing my sunburn and watching Pokemon. Yup, that sounds about right.

Look, Cindy and Michael! Look at me talking about you on my blog!

Went camping this weekend with Cindy, Michael, mum, and dad. I wasn't able to to get the whole weekend off but I was able to at least get Saturday and Sunday so we got to go to the Sleepy Bear Dunes and Mackinac Island.

Biking

Flowers

Lake Michigan

Ferries

Fudge

Mackinac Bridge

Horses 

Sand Dunes

Just pure fun. Pure Michigan. That's right. I could write one of those commercials.

Although sometimes Michigan is just weird. Like this cities' salmon fountain. 

This week my friend Sarah, and I did another wine and canvas! We've done one before back in May. That time I behaved well and followed the rules. Not so much this time. 

This is the painting we were all supposed to be painting. 

And these are the finished product

Pshhh sunset beach scenes are so common place. So I made mine at night. I only felt a little bad for the demonstrator painter dude because I don't think he was so happy that I wasn't following his instructions but hey, you can't stifle a muses' muse!
