All I Ever Wanted Was the World

August 27, 2012 by snapshotsandneedledrops

I recently wrote about the joys of listening to country music while cruising down rural roads. And while I am ‘a little bit country,’ I’m really a lot more pop. I usually associate driving with pop music. Undoubtably the result of my local radio stations that typically live in their happy place of top 10 hits, occasionally wading further into top 40 waters. As much as I complain, however, I still secretly love rocking out to the latest and greatest pop […]

Closing the Games

August 12, 2012 by snapshotsandneedledrops

The Nagano Olympics were the first Games I truly remember getting into the spirit for. I still have my skiier’s bib from a themed birthday party, where I got this awesome glass. The Olympics are so freaking cool! I can’t believe the 16 days are over; they passed so quickly. Like I said in my last post, I love the games. The events display an inspirational mix of athleticism, determination, grace and cooperation. Have you all seen the facebook post the […]

Mellow Times

December 27, 2011 by snapshotsandneedledrops

One of the great things about this time of year are the many lists of the best music of the past twelve months. For 2011, new artist Lana Del Ray seems to be reigning over the indie music kingdom. This is not surprising, the girl’s got a fantastic low voice and a unique slow steady style, her first single “Video Games” has been hit all over the bloggosphere. As “Video Games” has such an online presence, I hesitate to use […]

The Road Trip Home

December 22, 2011 by snapshotsandneedledrops

FREEDOM!! Freedom came for me at 3am on Wednesday morning when I finished my last of 10, twelve-hour shifts, in the past 11 nights. Within 9 hours my co-worker Mel and I picked up our paycheques and hit the road for our Ontarian homes. If you’re going to be stuck in a car with someone for seven hours it is near-impossible to beat the fine and fun company of one Miss. Mel. We talked about anything and everything. And just to […]

In Slow Motion

November 28, 2011 by snapshotsandneedledrops

Happy Monday! I do have a non-blurry version of these two who are standing along the Seine, but I think this one better suits the music. I just found this beautiful song and I couldn’t resist sharing it immediately. I heard it in a great ad that I’ll put up as well, it’s definitely worth watching. “Last Night I Heard Everything in Slow Motion” by Oliver Tank
