Yoghurt cup #49

• Feeling slightly better about how i looked today. Oddly enough, that moment was when i looked in the mirror after volleyball lessons aka voluntary-excruciation-under-the-name-of-physical-education, sweating, hair tightly packed in a bun, darkened face because of direct exposure to the sun and dry lips. Weird, isn't it?
• Again, i'm writing yoghurt cup in my most sleepy moment. Seriously, i just wanna close the door, throw myself on the bed and sleep until my right hand stops hurting.
• But i can't do that. Because i just took a bath and my hair's still wet. And because, out of all activities people need to perform to live in life, sleeping is probably the most wasteful and unnecessary act.
• Taking off my nails feels weird. Although i'm in a mental fight about whether i should put some on again, i don't think that the nail-polish-is-gonna-destroy-your-nails side has so much of an advantage.
• As i was sitting in the bus the other day, i thought human relationships require one to think wider, and personal thinking procedures takes deeper. And i think as i've been in the personal procedures for such a long time, somehow i still despise myself for thinking the widened way.
• I need to do a little shopping. I still don't have a cardigan.
• Listening to Little Numbers & browsing through lookbook.nu hyping looks brings me straight back to this summer, probably the most special and memorable summer i've ever had.
• Haha i've alreadly painted my nails glittery. Very high-schoolgirl-ish, but i get excited everytime i put them on, no idea why.
• Speaking of, i think i haven't the slightest clue for half of the things i do in my life.
• Spontaneous! Woohoo!
• Randomly googling 'summer playlist'. Reminiscence of a good summer is the second best feeling in the world. The best is when you actually enjoy the summer without realizing this was the most beautiful moment in your life.
• I wanna wear the flowery dress out in the streets with these nails and the bowler hat and take some photos under the sun so that those European kids could be a little bit jealous as they've switched to wearing thigh-high boots, hide their elegant necks under wool scarves and start putting on two million trends of coats and beanies.
• This Vogue playlist is really good. And really makes me sleepy. Here you go.
• This is the one slight moment when i'm actually pleased about the time being. Having said that, something upsetting's gonna happen tonight. I can sense it!
• Pessimism ruins the mood. Welcome back to the world of Jenny's mind.

Yoghurt cup #48

• Over a month since my last yogurt cup. No idea why, in the depths of this ultimate sleepiness i'm still writing this yogurt cup. Bad timing.
• The foundation of a relationship needs time, the quicker it goes the sooner it's deemed to collapse. And i need him so. much. more than he needs me.
• Lol i'm not talking about a relationship, how come the idea of actually committing to someone scares me. I was, and still am, more than ever, afraid that they would only be fascinated by the slight differences that i prose in communicative life. Deep down inside, as i'm sitting in my closed and isolated room every night, i realize i'm just mediocre, probable owner of a worse personality than half of the people in this third world country. 
• Mediocre, that's the most terrifying word in the dictionary that i've ever looked up for.
• The fact that there aren't much homework has resulted in regrets of the wasted time i've spent thinking nonsense. Sometimes i wonder if anyone thinks the way i do, about unrealistic stuff, then gets obsessed with them.
• I. Have. No. Life.
• The plan for this afternoon is to sleep for 3241 hours then go to the gym to observe the unnecessary enthusiasm of the rich people. Then spend the entire evening thinking about how i've messed up in the last German test, something that i should've condemned myself days ago. Then read Catcher In The Rye and pretend like i've done something extremely useful.
• But no, i'm serious, i'm really sleepy right now. I'm gonna go to sleep now, if i wake up later and feel like continuing this yogurt cup, i will. Or else, these are my updates for the past month. A very eventful month indeed.
• Nope i got up and wanted to write some more but nothing came out. So, there you go.
• One more thing, as i'm watching Tranny from the R:A DVD, i can't express how much admiration and appreciation i have for this band. Thank God i own the frigging DVD. Best purchase by miles, no, lightyears that i've made this year!

Music post

Here are some of the records that have been keeping my music quest satisfied in the year 2011. You're gonna find that hardly any of them are released in 2011, because i find the current mainstream music is extremely exhausting and nonsense.

.

Florence + The Machine - Lungs

European musicians sure do a great job at refreshing the renowned. Although i find some tracks in this record quite scary, it still stands memorable tunes, catchy enough for you folks who are desperately seeking for easy-listening music, but odd enough for the curious to pay a visit.

The Fray - How To Save A Life

I know, i know, you don't need to start on how come i listen to it NOW when it was released in wayyyy back 2005. It was because of Louis Tomlinson i have to shamefully admit. But it's a decent record for the very few who haven't checked it out.

Fleetwood Mac - Rumours

Another shameful confession: Glee brought me to listening to this record. But if you're not one of those judgemental people ( although i do think i deserve a judgement ) and don't care about how i found out about this, cheers, i love you whoever you are. I didn't expect myself to like this record this much honestly, but it draws a perfect escape to the world of mid-70s alternative. Glee or no Glee, this is one to check out.

The Beatles - Beatles For Sale

As much as i'm obsessed with The Beatles and their whole band story ( yes i even just downloaded the movie Nowhere Boy, partly because there was a John Lennon and a Paul McCartney, partly because freaking Aaron Johnson and Thomas Brodie-Sangster never looked that good ), i need time to absorb their music completely. Beatles For Sale is one of those records where you can play in the bus, or randomly around the house when you're too tired of homework. Probably not their best record, but maybe the lack of stories inside each song frees the minds of the maniacs a bit.

Foster The People - Torches

One very sad point about this record is that it's made mainstream and "Pumped Up Kicks" has been playing nonstop on TV. And suddenly everyone listens to indie. People on my facebook kept posting the video every five minutes, and out of nowhere seven million of other facebookers jumped in and liked it and commented nonsense like 'oh this band has another song that sounds catchy thats Call It What You Want' and stuff.

Nevertheless, well, congratulations on an indie band that's finally recognized, and the world won't be drowned in meaningless rap songs or hit singles with only 20-listenable-seconds-of-lyrics. The record has a mix of the early Franz Ferdinand, a little bit of One Night Only, a tad bit of radio material, different enough to hang-on-frigging-iTunes-for-two-thousand-frigging-weeks. One of the very few records that dates 2011 in my list.

The Beach Boys - Pet Sound

Now you don't need to shove at my face on how come, again, i haven't listened to this record earlier in life. But, again, it's not about how i found out about it. I fell madly in love with each of the songs, felt like i couldn't be a bad person when i listened to it ( although reality has had its way to prove otherwise ). Don't need to review this, cause the record itself is awesome enough. And i remember a highly-rated comment on youtube under the song Wouldn't It Be Nice: "If Beatles & Beach Boys had kids, he'd be called God".

Ed Sheeran - +

One of my ultimate favorites from late-September-early-October and another one that's released in 2011. This is one of those records that questions you on what motivation that pushed you into listening to it, and you secretly thank that motivation a million times. Chloe Moretz tweeted a link to the acoustic version of Small Bump a while ago, a song with the most powerful lyrics that could bring anyone to tears. A standard record in my view. This is a must in your playlist.

The Kooks - Inside In/Inside Out

My indie spirit has gone quite dully this year, i couldn't find just awesome indie artists like i used to before, and i only found out about these guys about two or three weeks ago. Typical indie rock kids, decent album, better than i expected. Only one thing that bugged me about this record: WHY ARE THEIR SONGS SO SHORT IN LENGTH? Two minutes is barely enough for a good song!

Mumford & Sons - Sigh No More

I discovered this record in January 2011, not very much a discovery since their single Winter Winds was practically everywhere and this album was winding up and down on iTunes for a really long time after their Grammy nomination. I'm still very gutted that they didn't win the Grammy ( and i don't understand how the justin fucking bieber fans could actually hope that the douche would win a Grammy when he was nominated along with awesomeness under the name of Mumford & Sons ), but i'm sure Esperanza Spalding must be one hell of an artist to take the award away from these guys.

Oh how do i even begin to describe my obsession for this record? Winter Winds, i must admit, was only appealing enough for me to look up the name, i didn't even plan on listening to it again. It took me some time to give this record a serious amount of attention, then afterwards, i played it in a month straight i think. Every track has its edge, unique ways of contributing instruments, considerate lyrics and of course, an amazing vocal, the utmost important factor in one great record. I was thinking of writing a serious track-by-track review for this album a long time ago, but somehow now it's squeezed into a compilation music post. But, again, good music needs no word support.

Last but certainly not least, Frank Sinatra - Nothing But The Best

Another record that shows how much of a latecomer i am. I'd been listening to Buble and admiring the jazzy sound in his voice, but that was before i gave Sinatra a shot. Absolutely heartwarming voice that brings out a romantic and cozy mood right at the moment you play any of his songs. A great choice to tune in after a long day of pointless working.

Actually i've listened to a lot more than these few, but only made it through half of the records, so i felt disobliged to even review. Nevertheless so far this year hasn't been one rocking year in music finding for me. Hope you enjoyed this post. Haven't posted a complete one in such a long time!

I don't wanna write anymore.
