“Summer Is Over (feat. Sara Bareilles)” - Jon McLaughlin
Who releases a song called “Summer Is Over” in January and the video for said song in April? Really?! This is the kind of song you listen to on the airplane back to wherever in August or September, not right before the season even kicks off. That said, I love both JM and SB way too much to stay away. This video is so cute and depressing. I have a lot of feelings. Hopefully by the time summer is ACTUALLY over, I’ll be less weepy every time I hear it.
And it’s back to my town, back to your life
Gray skies are blowing a kiss goodbye to the lovers
‘Cause summer is over

We also have no sales tax!
Maybe in select parts of BillyBurg, but that’s such a tiny part of Brooklyn! And even then it’s so very different. You can’t really afford to be ambiguously employed when your rent is so damn high. And I think New Yorkers in general are 1000x more ambitious than Portlanders. Also, Brooklyn is part of a real city. With diversity. And a subway system. And cool music, and an active nightlife, and fashion, and people from all over the world with billions of different lifestyles. Young people wander to Portland to retire; young people rush to New York to fulfill their dreams.
I’m currently seeing someone who lives in Greenpoint and as we were saying goodbye on Sunday he said “See? Isn’t Brooklyn nice?” to which I replied “It’s not horrible.” (I’m a native Manhattanite which means that a) I am biased by default standards of turf pride and b) I have basically never actually hung out in Bklyn before.) He responded with “Don’t worry, you’re going to end up living here someday. Just you wait and see.” So I feel like an omen has been cast upon me now. Though I guess I can see it…it’s a good place to transition from the four years of Portland life that have made me a tad too soft for the hustle and bustle of the city.
I’m vaguely proud of your response.

it’s always embarrassing when your ovaries explode in public places but that’s what happened today when i saw this cover.
but really
wasabi peanuts are amazeballs.
in other news, the dining table is my new hangout of choice. my mom keeps running out of the kitchen to literally stick food in my mouth. i just had some of the most kick-ass roast beef and mouthwatering smoked mozzarella and now she’s making me a burrito with mahogany rice and black beans. i’m jealous of my own life.
