HATE: People who don't dress appropriately for the weather

#11:
In this day and age, with technology as advanced as it is, and communication of information being as easily accessible as it is, the title of this post should not even be an issue. But it is. This daily occurrence I witness, really pisses me off. It's not something I obsess over by any means, life is too short for that. But when I see it happen, I roll my eyes, because really, if you can't figure out what the weather will be before you leave the house, then something needs to change.

I'm not talking about the elderly who always have 5 layers on no matter what the temperature is. I get that- they're old, they get cold easily, I understand. I'm annoyed at the normal young people, my age, a little older, or a little younger who just look clueless when walking in public.

This is especially a problem here in New England. And if you've lived here longer than 3 years, you should know what to expect. Weather should be something you think about every day, because up here in the northeast, it can change at a drop of a hat.

So, women with their Ugg boots on in 78 degree weather in September. STOP IT.
No more gloves and winter hats in April when it's 65 degrees. STOP IT.
I don't want to see a North Face coat in October when it's 68 and sunny. STOP IT.
And the cable knit turtlenecks I've noted on the train in the last week, hey it may be September, but it still feels like August out, so QUIT IT.

Thank you for reading, and in the words of Al Roker, "here's what's happening in your neck of the woods"...

Hate: Folk music

#10:
I actually should retitle this as "majority of folk music", or "folk music made by douchebags". Technically, I don't hate folk music as a genre. There is a lot of music I listen to that is probably labeled as folk music. Examples being, Joseph Arthur (awesome), Damien Rice (love him), the soundtrack of the indie flick, "Once", featuring the lead singer of The Frames (great album, hot singer), and the list really goes on and on.
But as I listen to Last.fm right now and the Rocky Votolato library, it occurs to me how much music is out there and TERRIBLE yet considered similar to Rocky Votolato, who I think is fantastic. So poor Rocky has to be categorized in with these douche-singers who can play like 8 chords.

If I was Rocky, Joseph, or Damien, I'd be pissed. Here I am an awesome singer-songwriter, and I have to be grouped in with the likes of Pedro the Lion and Iron & Wine. I mean, really??! Really, Pedro the Lion. How did you think the depressing lyrics and melody of "Slow and Steady Wins the Race" should be recorded and distributed to the public??! OMG! Shoot me now. I'm pretty sure the song I wrote when I was 15 and just started learning the guitar is better than this bullshit. Pedro the Lion, were you on ludes when you wrote this crap? Dudes! Take a good listen, like a REALLY good listen. And get a new job! Cause this whole folk/angst/singer thing is soooo NOT working for you!!!

Ok, time for me to skip this track. I can't believe this song is still going on. He clearly has a lot to say and I don't want to listen.

Love: Snow Patrol

Snow Patrol, I love you

Love them!! I'd forgotten how much. Luckily I had a dream last night, and the soundtrack was provided by the amazing Snow Patrol. So one song was stuck in my head pretty much all morning. And now I've had the opportunity to listen to them, and have fallen in love all over again.

Right now, I'm listening to "Hands Open". Fantastic. It actually makes doing work, half as horrible. Life is just better with good music. Hands down. (No pun intended).

I needed to voice my opinion before I got too distracted. Thank you Snow Patrol.

Love: First fall purchase of the season!

How cute???! I know I thought so, which is why I just bought it. My bank account might be crying, but when I get this jacket in the mail, my body will be smiling.
