What's Going On?

What a great Marvin Gaye song. While Marvin was questioning war and whatnot, I'm here to see what is up with all my fellow HMPV blogsters.
As for me, I have been busy with non-stop chilling- with no time to post! I know what you thinking- blogging=chilling. Sorry!
So, in true Kiki-fashion, I'm just gonna go ahead and do what I do best- list things that have been keeping me chilling all August long.

1. Robins egg meets Tiffany's box blue.
I painted my new room this color and I cannot even begin to tell you about how chill my new room is- and I think it is mostly due to the color palette. The bright color serves as a great background for all of Smash's artwork as well as my cute new UO duvet cover! Now that my room is painted an inviting blue, all I ever want to do in lounge in bed and straight chill.




2. Ryan Adams-"Easy Tiger"


Okay, so it is no "Cold Roses", but I think this is a pretty enjoyable album. Ryan definitely does what he does best- singing about broken hearts with his falsetto country voice hitting the high notes. So far I have listened to this album on road trips, drinking on the porch, and unpacking my new room. My favorite song is "Two Hearts".

3. Not Working.

This should actually be listed as #1 if we were listing in order of importance. It is really hard to chill . . . at work.
4. Vimeo

Vimeo is the facebook version of youtube. It has a clean design and all kinds of privacy settings when you post your video. You can also do "credits" for the videos you post (if your friends are on vimeo). I love chilling on this site and watching videos. Also, most of these videos are made by the people that post them. For instance, on vimeo, you can't really find Rihanna's "Umbrella" video.

5. The Pool.


Even though the docs tell me I shouldn't leave the house without SPF 50 because my skin is so fair, I love to go to the pool and tan. My skin just looks so much better slightly tan instead of the wintery ghost white. In addition to reading mags and catching rays, I also love to go to the snack bar at the pool and get chicken salad wraps. Delish! Going to the pool is a great chilling activity because you can be very independent about it and just go by yourself or you can invite all your friends to chill with you. When in doubt of how to chill in the summertime, just head to a pool.

I don't like #5. Not one bit. You should be wearing sunscreen.

But I DO like your room and I LUV me some robin's egg blue! Quite frankly, I'm obsessed. I plan on painting my living room blue even though it's already the color of my bedroom. SHIT'S GETTING CRAZY UP IN PITTY!

I have some complaints -- the color looks beautiful, but we can't see the duvet cover! And the picture won't get bigger so we can't see all the details! I love it so much, and I need more pix.

I think your room looks amazing! I wnat to jump right into the picture and chill in that inviting white chair. And I love your paper lantern.

I also painted my walls a bright green color that is so relaxing and yet full of life I feel like I'm sleeping in that enchanted forest in C.S. Lewis' "The Magician's Nephew:" The Wood Between the Worlds. Remember that? How people would forget where they were and thought they had lived there their entire lives and had no desire to leave?
That's what my room feels like.
