Snazzy Tunes - Ariel Pink's Haunted Graffiti

I think I found Ariel Pink when browsing reviews on Pitchfork -their newest album got really good reviews. I like his music because it sounds old and dreamy but still original.

Last week Amanda, Nick and I went to go see him play at Urban Lounge. He walked down into the audience a lot and overall seemed like a pretty cool guy. I was secretly hoping for him to have a freakout like he did at coachella a while back (sat down on the stage refusing to sing - out of his mind on something) but it was a pretty standard show. What can I say? I Guess I'm a bit of a drama queen.

This is one of my favorite song's..

Good Eats - Pig and a Jelly Jar

 

Nick has most Fridays off, and I have every other friday off. On the ones that I am working we usually try and meet up for lunch. This last Friday we checked out the new Pig and a Jelly Jar restaurant near Liberty Park. It is by the same people who did Meditrina which holds a special place in my heart because it was where Nick and I had our first reunited date (we dated about 7 years ago for a couple months).

I had the chicken apricot rosemary sausage grinder with brie, caramelized onions and lemon aioli. Nick had the Friday special of fish and chips.

Though the fries were a bit undercooked, the food overall was pretty tasty and affordable. The restaurant is very cute and intimate and I dig those paintings.

While I still think I like Meditrina better, I'd go back to Pig. The Liberty Park area was going through some promising up and comingness prior to the recession. I think now that things are starting to turn a bit we'll start seeing even more cute little restaurants like this pop up, and some hip slc people flocking to the area (like me! I've been thinking about moving into a triplex nearby).

Oh hey there stud.

 

Inspiration for a Happy Friday

I've had a rough couple of days. I will be keeping this pretty little banner in mind this weekend and not letting things get me down. I'm going to let my inner light shine. It's gonna sparkle like a disco ball!

Snazzy Tunes - Oh Land

I've been hearing this song come up in a lot of playlists lately, and I have to admit... it's pretty catchy.

Give 'er a listen and watch out because the chorus will randomly pop into your head and you'll want to dance.

One Happy Year



Exactly one year ago today I went out to dinner with an old friend to catch up. I'm lucky to say that since that dinner I have had the best year of my life. I love you Nick! Thank you for being my best friend, my partner in crime, for your endless supply of dad jokes, and for always supporting all my weird projects and ideas. You are the best boyfriend a girl could ever dream of. I'm lucky to have you in my life.
