Just a few random things for your reading pleasure...
This salad. My garden is very full of romaine lettuce and kale at the moment, so I searched my pins to find a new way to use them. I chose this salad recipe and holy cow is it good! It has pretty much been my lunch for the last two weeks, and it will most likely continue to be for a while. I tried adding apple, which was okay, but the next day I added an avocado and some brown rice....perfection. Seriously. Sooooo good.
A Conversation With Neil Degrasse Tyson About Cosmos, Race, and Celebrity. I love Neil Degrasse Tyson. He's such an interesting person, and every time I listen to him, I want to go out and learn something.
Pixar's new movie. It's called "Inside Out" and won't be released until next year. It sounds fascinating, though, and I'm already looking forward to it.
An Important Post About How to Prepare Your Teen for Certain Situations. I appreciated this post. I'm still several years away from having to deal with most of this stuff, but I find myself looking forward, preparing myself for the harder conversations. Helping my kids navigate the teen years.
Conor Oberst performing at NPR's Tiny Desk. If you haven't listened to his new album yet, check out this sweet little concert.
A beautiful last article by Rick Reilly, a popular sportswriter.
Six Things You Should Know About Spotify. I spend a lot of money on music. If I joined Spotify, I would most definitely save money, but I don't think I could ever do it. It just seems wrong somehow. If I'm spending less, it must mean the artists are getting less, and they're already not getting much from album sales. I find myself buying t-shirts as much to support the band as to wear. Do you use Spotify? Or rely on Pandora for your music? So many of my friends don't buy music at all anymore, and it makes me sad.
The Newport lineup is complete. And awesome. Now I just need the schedule so I can strategize. I think I'm most looking forward to seeing J. Roddy Walston & the Business - I think they will be a ton of fun to see live. And The Oh Hellos. And Jack White. Have you listened to Jack White's new album
? Really, really good. Oh and Shovels & Rope! Man I hope the schedule is conducive to my wishes.

I need more salads in my life. I've been on a cabbage kick lately, and it's pretty much the only kind of salad I have been eating.
ReplyDeleteI'm going to check out the spotify article. I use it, because it's handy for the gym/car, but I also buy music, so I don't feel *too* bad. Mostly I like it for trying out new stuff when I get bored.
Oh I do agree it makes sense to use it for trying out new stuff, and Spotify or Pandora can be handy during entertaining, or at the gym, or whatever....but completely relying on them and not ever buying music, that's what gets me.
