I am a playlist junkie. I love playlists! They are my addiction. Making them. Listening to them. Showing them off. Playlists, quite literally, run my life.
Instances where I might (always) listen to a playlist:
Alarms #1-4
Walking the dog
Showering
Putting myself together after said shower
Preparing meals
Mode of transportation somewhere (driving, walking, biking, etc.)
Cleaning the house
Crafting
Tumblring
Random dance parties
Bedtime
If I could get away with listening to a playlist at work I would.
I decided that I would begin sharing some of the playlists I have created because why the heck not? Without further ado, playlist numero uno. Some days you need to indulge in your past in the form of cheesy teen pop.

The Great TV Debate
It's time to find out where your loyalties lie: Today or GMA? Personally I've always been a Today gal myself, but with the departure of Meredith Vieira things changed. I tried to support Ann Curry because I really wanted to like her (and I do); however, the show lacked something. The dynamic change was hovering over the show like the little black rain cloud above Eeyore. And disaster struck! Television producers began freaking out because Today's ratings began to drop and Good Morning America, it's arch nemesis, stole the lead after 17 years. Apocalypse now, baby!
I began to think What's so terrible about GMA? Answer: nothing! I started to take an interest when Robin Robert's story made all the headlines. Slowly I integrated the news show into my daily routine and quite liked it. The anchors were peppy and the weather guy wasn't Al. (In my opinion a bonus!) It was a wake up before I had my morning coffee. I didn't completely give up Today, which seemed tired and super serious in comparison (especially with the introduction of Savannah Guthrie as co-host); instead, I played dueling channels. And ladies and gentlemen, I have reached a verdict.
*drum roll*
They are the exact same show on different networks! Now this isn't a shock to anyone who's watched both shows religiously, but it baffled me how close together they timed the same stories. For instance, this morning both shows covered Gorge Zimmerman's first television interview, an attempted abduction caught on tape in Philadelphia, a suspected bomber in Bulgaria, Syrian rebels, TomKat's divorce, and Primetime Emmy nominations. Each segment was broadcasted within minutes of the other between the networks. What's even more frustrating is that they go to commercial at the same time! Surely both networks could be happy if they spaced everything out so that the shows coincided with each other.
I still remain true to Today (I always get a kick out of Kathie Lee and Hoda), but I'm giving GMA a chance. But with the start of school coming up, I'll probably stop watching both in favor of sleep.
Until next time!

On Being 'Peculiar'
I'm going to try something different, and by different, I mean actually posting on this blog. Shocking! I know.
I just finished Ransom Rigg's brilliant first novel Miss Peregrine's Home for Peculiar Children, which is unlike any book I have ever read. He creates a suspenseful fairytale that is so believable you begin to wonder if you've encountered these unusual endearing characters in your daily life. The combination between text and photography work extremely well together generating a more vivid and unforgettable story that stays with you long after the final page.
I absolutely adored this book, and recommend it to anyone who wants a fast and rewarding read. Seriously, it's good. Go to your library and get it. If it's checked out put it on hold. You'll love it. It's worth it.
Also, you can follow the author on twitter @ransomriggs. He's a pretty cool dude. He even replied to my tweet about his book. He's that legit.
