time of the season

francoise hardy + jacques dutronc = SIXTIES POWER COUPLE♡

Wowwwwwwww

This past Wednesday, I headed out with two of my friends, my sisters, and my friend's parents and went to Mystic Seaport for three days and it was so much fun! I really hope that next summer we could do more trips like that, because it was really fun going to the beach, then having a nice New England dinner and then have fun in the hotel room and eat loads of cookies and mints.
I got sunburnt really bad, but it is now a tan :'-) We got home Friday night!

On Satuday, I went school supply shopping at Target and Wal-Mart and then my uncle came over for dinner... and that was my weekend. Today my parents had no work (it is Labor Day) so they took my sisters and I (my brother was too lazy to wake up) to a diner and we had breakfast then my mom took us to the mall and we went back to school shopping. I got a lot of fall/winter clothes, so I'm hoping it gets cold soon (I'm going to regret saying that later) because I want to wear my new clothes without overheating.
I really need to go to bed. My sleeping schedule is going to be fucked up for tomorrow. I might try to wake up at 5 AM tomorrow.

Tomorrow is my last day of summer vacation, and then my junior year begins :'-)
Hope you all had a wonderful summer, I know I sure did....

all the girls had long hair, all the boys had long hair, you were missing out

My favorite male model (Matt Hitt!!!!) is in a new band, and here's a perfect summer song from their awesome EP. If you like The Vaccines or The Smiths I suggest you take a listen.

It's been a while! All I can remember of the past week is that I went hiking last weekend (Not this past one, but the one before) and it was so cool! I'm so proud of myself for not jumping off the mountain halfway through. The rest of the week is kind of a blur from what I remember, but my parents had their 26th wedding anniversary and they wanted to take us to Hyde Park (the NY one, not London I wish) for a picnic but the weather sucked so we downgraded to Red Robin for dinner.

On Wednesday I went to Six Flags with my two sisters and a few friends and it was really fun! We went to Panera for dinner afterwards which was a nice break from the pretzels I was snacking on all day. I think we also went to Borders (where my sister found a magazine with Blur on the cover, obviously bought that) and then went to Starbucks and went home. The next day all I remember is watching the Darjeeling Limited and eating taco salad. I was really sore from some of the rides from the previous day.

We got our schedules for the new school year (I'm now a junior?!) on Friday night, and my classes are pretty good! I found at least one friend in my lunch period (thank god) but both of my sisters are in my french class. Ugh. That's what you get for being a triplet and all taking french. I haven't been in a class with either of them since 8th grade, so this will be interesting?

And as for the weekend; on Saturday I watched Boy Meets World and slept all day. Yesterday (Sunday) I hung out in Saratoga and got some frozen yogurt and walked around in some thrift stores. It was so hot out yesterday.

My dad forced me to clean my room today, because my room is horribly messy. So that was my day. I'm currently on a "break" because my parents are out right now and I needed to eat dinner. Also, it was my brother's first day of college! I actually forgot about that until he came home and told me about his classes. I'm so excited for later this week, though, because my sisters and I are going with friends to Rhode Island for the rest of the week! That should be a really nice end to the summer, because school starts next Wednesday.

Have a great week!

I should probably start proof-reading these.

la chinoise

I'm too tired to update you all on my life. Nothing's changed. It's been a typical week in the life of Emily Smith.

I watched this movie the other day. It was really cool. As much as I like Jean-luc Godard's films, I did not get the point of this movie but it was visually amusing anyways.

La Chinoise - 1967

This is also the third film I've seen with Jean-Pierre Leaud in it (next to Made in the USA and Masculin Feminin) and I can establish that he was (emphasis on was) a megababe. Always nice to see.

Have a good day.

de la plage ensolelilee

I learned most of the lyrics to this song in the past month. Awesome.

What has happened in the past few days? Well I lost the back of my phone while jogging on Thursday morning, so now I have to be extra careful with my phone. Which sucks. But oh well. Then I slept in my friend Gaby's treehouse that night and it was a fun night. I barely slept, and slept on her couch while watching Hawaii Five-O the following morning. I think I cleaned the house when I got home that afternoon and then ate some pizza and that was my Friday. On Saturday I watched a lot of Netflix, and saw Ewan McGregor's penis twice, in 2 different movies. Fascinating. I saw Dark Knight Rises with friends that night. It was really good. On Sunday I can't remember doing anything. Really. Today my friend came over and we watched Workaholics and my mom made chicken parmesan because we usually have that when she's over so it was cool. I had a nice Monday. I think someone's coming over tomorrow, I usually don't know about my plans until an hour beforehand. I want to order a pizza tomorrow. My summer diet of chips, tea, cookies and chocolate does wonders for my abs. Kidding about the abs. It's really a miracle that I'm not even a tiny bit overweight considering I'm always eating and I rarely exercise. I'm watching the Godfather with my brother now and I think I'm just going to go to bed now.

It's been nice. Good night.

breakfast blog!

When I woke up this morning, I actually felt motivated to make myself a good breakfast, and not the usual yogurt or cereal. So I made myself an omelet on toast and I'm so proud :'-)

I used one egg, a couple splashes of milk, whisked that mixture, and then when it was done cooking I sprinkled some shredded cheese on it and then went outside to get some fresh basil to sprinkle on it. I don't know what kind of bread that is but it's delicious as toast. I am very pleased with myself. I took a little photoshoot with it (yes, I am one of those people) and here is a picture of my breakfast: 

Have a nice day! 

last day of july!

Long time no blog! Sorrrry.

The Olympics started on Friday (you probably all know by now) and my sister and I were eating pizza and screaming at each other to start the livestream because we wanted to see the Arctic Monkeys live at the opening ceremony. But then it was on TV a few hours later (but cut out the first song?!) so we shouldn't have really bothered. The night before that, my friend slept over and we were crazy as usual. I drove her home myself that morning, which reminded me that I need to go to the DMV. I went to Target with my mom and sister and hung out on Sunday, so my weekend was very relaxing. Alex James' book, "Bit of Blur" came in the mail last weekend, too, so I've been reading it non-stop then. It is so good.

So last night my sisters and I were watching the Olympics and then ordered a pizza at 1 AM, and it was delivered at noon today because they don't open until 11 AM. Hahahahaha. Then we went to the park and went to our friend Ryan's house and hung out and watched TV. Biked a lot today. Hopefully burned off that whole pizza + breadsticks + cinnamon sticks. My stomach still hurts from it, if that's even possible...

Good night! (It's 9 PM. whatever.)

07.25.12

^I feel like if my dreams should have a soundtrack, it should be this album. And also I want to marry Alex Turner because I think he's a golden god.

I ombre'd (french for gradient) my hair for the 3rd time in the past year last night, and it is only noticeable in the sunlight. Oh well.

Today (well now yesterday, it is 12:50 AM) was really nice, because my sisters and I made a pact (is that the right word?) to not use the internet or television for a whole day. I woke up at 7 AM, got some breakfast, meditated, did some yoga, read Caitlin Moran's "How To Be a Woman" (very funny and interesting book, by the way), and slept on the couch until 11 AM.

My brother drove my sisters and I to Panera Bread where we all had lunch and hung out. It was lunch hour, so it was very crowded with people dressed in office appropriate clothing. A difference from my high waisted shorts, cardigan and top siders. Well then. When we got home we bonded and listened to someold CD's, and then read books on the backyard deck until my dad came home. It was then my dad's genius idea to have none other than Taco Bell for dinner, because my mom was at book club therefore it was that or no dinner at all. I was still stuffed from my large lunch at Panera, but I managed to shove some of the burrito bowl down my throat before heading to my friend Alaina's house. I tried some  green tea ice cream at her house, it was from a local Asian market. It was wonderful. I recommend it. I had a nice time. (I sound really boring, again; sorry)

Now that it is officially the next day, we are now using TV again and watching a "Starshaped", which is a tour documentary on Blur. I feel like I'm going to explode from food because my sister Hannah made a fucking cookie cake and I felt like I had to eat some of that, too.

By the way, in this post I am writing like a boring old woman, because I'm so tired and I feel like I'm going to die of a heat stroke before I wake up.

(edit/update:) I ended up waking up in the middle of night from severe stomach pains, nausea, and a cold sweat. I pretty much passed out on the floor of the bathroom when trying to throw up because I thought I was going to. I feel perfectly fine now. Weird.

Good night.
