Out on the Town: 2/29

Whoaaa what activities do you have going on for Leap Day?! Oh…nothing?

Well, there just happens to be a show this evening at the Fremont Abbey Arts Center featuring members from The Head and The Heart and Motopony. And if you haven’t realized by now that The Head and the Heart are basically taking off, then you must be living under a rock. This may be one of the last performances ever to see Jonathan Russell perform solo because his band is pretty much  performing at only music festivals this year. Doors are at 7PM and tickets cost $10.

Hello readers! There won’t be any other posts today because I’ve been working diligently on my last poster board EVER (or so I hope) for one of my classes. It is also inspired by one of my favorite websites – Design Love Fest I promise to post a picture once it’s done!

 

Have a great day everyone! It’s SNOWING, but not hard enough –

Happy Pancake Day!

Oh geez…what I wouldn’t give right now to have some Portage Bay Cafe Organic Apple and Whole Wheat Pancakes…

If you need your pancake fix at all, just head on over to IHOP because they’ll be serving them up free all day. They’re pretty much just basic pancakes so you’ll have to pay for the ones with all the bells and whistles, but we shouldn’t be complaining. Free. Pancakes. FREE. Anything free is great!

The Academy Awards 2012

[Rooney Mara in Givenchy Haute Couture]

I absolutely love this gown on her. It’s so refreshing to see her not wearing black for once since most of her press outfits and even gowns on the red carpet recently have been black.

I spent most of the day watching the red carpet special for the Academy Awards yesterday as E! decided to start it around one if not sooner. Unfortunately, thirty minutes into the show, I decided to give up on watching it to spend my time with some great company. It’s alright – the red carpet is usually the main priority for me…that was until Ashley sent me a text that said, “We could have easily made tonight a drinking game,” which meant that I was missing a whole lot of highlights from the show.

I suppose I can just read about the rest of the stuff that happened during the show. I did, however, witness Sacha Baron Cohen as the Dictator dump Bisquick all over Ryan Seacrest’s Burberry suit. Just watching him trying to contain his anger over the situation was entertaining enough.

And with that, let’s get into some red carpet looks!
