Do you know what Lisztomania means?

I don't think I blog too much about music* these days (or blog much at all), but some things I can't stop listening to:

Shout Out Louds Howl Howl Gaff Gaff (whole album)
LCD Soundsystem's "Someone Great"
Phoenix's "Lisztomania" and "Fences" (album out next week). Wikipedia'd the title. Not "Fences." I know what those are.
The Replacements Pleased to Meet Me
Rihanna's "Disturbia"

*I am not cool anymore, so none of this (well most of this) is new or unheard of. Maybe Rihanna? You should try to find her at your local independent music store.

I meant to write about my lovely trip to Boston and Cambridge last weekend, but clearly haven't yet. Some highlights:
Reunionmania with Laura, Matt, Chloe, Ariella, Kara, Maya, Louisa, Sara, Frere John. Was that it?
Lobster Mac n Cheese at the Red House, amazing prosciuotto sandwich at Darwin's, Italian take on eggs benedict at Rocca, delicious 3 courses at Eastern Standard
Meeting Chloe's awesome boyfriend for the first time
Talking law school with Matt
Realizing how close Laura, Matt and I are that I can sit in a towel on their couch, putting on make up, explaining the nuances of Gossip Girl to him, while his gf/my bff Laura is in the other room doing her thing and that is not weird or inappropriate at all. Nor did he make fun of me for GG. Actually, I think he enjoyed it.

Calling out "Matt Damon, where are you?" when we went to Chloe's gallery in Southie. Original, I know.
Hendrick's martinis
No sales tax shopping!!
Puppies and tulips in Boston Commons

The downside:
Sunday night depression on airplane realizing I have to take an airplane to see my favorite people
Also, probably gained 10 lbs

Tidbits and Superlatives

1. Texts From Last Night is the new FML.
2. Wine sorbet is the best thing ever.
3. In the T.I. song "Whatever You Like," the line in the dirty version "late night sex, so wet and so tight" is replaced by "treat you so special, so nice" in the clean version. Yep, basically the exact same meaning. These are the lessons I learn at the gym.
4. The Hideout Saturday dance party was one of the most fun Saturday night spots I've hit since moving here.
5. My Chicago bus crush now knows he is my Chicago bus crush. But we also now know each other's names. I don't know if I am scared or excited for my commute tomorrow. Thanks, Paige!
6. At Cesar's, a large margarita means small. Jumbo means medium. And mega means large. I went mega. At 2 pm yesterday. And Cesar's is spelled like that. Not like Caesar.
7. I think I walked over 10 miles this weekend. Yesterday, around Boyztown, Lincoln Park, and Lincoln Square, drunk from item 6, with some coworker friends, all the way home after that, and today, from my house to Merchandise Mart and more wandering with Teppy after ArtChicago. I love this weather. Keep it coming.
8. I want wine now, but I think it is going to taste gross after eating wine sorbet. Like brushing your teeth immediately after drinking orange juice.
