Weekly Musings: Renditions of CCR; tea lounge laziness & jazz in Paris

I realize this says weekly and I'm posting it on a monday, but I was really sick the past few days so I wasn't in any condition to blog, but hopefully this will become a regular installment. I'm bringing this style of posting to my blog simply so I can learn to pick out the positives in my life and collect some inspiration and the like. I also stole it from the lovely Luinae!

My Local Tea Lounge: Words can't express how awesome this place is. The guy who runs it is British/German and is an absolute tea connoisseur, so I've gotten to try like 12 different kinds of new tea, all of which are fantastic. He's also a fascinating guy with so many stories to tell. It's so refreshing to have cultured conversations. He also happens to have fantastic taste in music and as given me a copy of  Moon Safari (the album) by Air.

My 50's/60's Concert: I was so pumped I got picked to do this; I chose to do "All My Loving" by the Beatles and the CCR version of "I Put A Spell On You". Getting to preform again... wow, I forgot how much I love it. And working with the house band of the theatre, ridiculous amounts of fun. There's also a strong possibility I'm going to get asked back to do another concert. Life is complete.

Little Things: Being kidnapped by friends late at night for spontaneous hanging out; New music (Jazz in Paris - Django Reinhardt/ Forgiveness Rock Record -  Broken Social Scene/ Jasmine - Keith Jarrett & Charlie Haden); Baking in the sun when we have it; Also: living in the only place where in the middle of July I went to bed with winter pajamas, 3 blankets and a hot water bottle; Puerh tea; new dresses; tumblr friends; Watching Doctor Who; dinner parties with much dancing and deep discussion; making new friends; cross-atlantic letters; vanilla yogurt.
