And here we are again! Another weekend roundup coming atcha live from crackle + hum!
SONG OF THE WEEK: Needing/ Getting by OK Go
That awkward moment when I haven't really been listening to anything new this week and had to pick something random off of one of my playlists? Oh well. I'm pretty sure this video went viral when it first came out, so it's worth a watch anyways.

OUTFIT OF THE WEEK: click for details
So.. who is excited for fall?! *enthusiastically raising hand* Me too, guys. Me too. So let's pretend like it wasn't 90 degrees today and instead imagine it was a day in late October. Apparently military green is a big color this season? Which is convenient since I just bought a sweater similar to the one above, although admittedly mine is more of a forest green.

DREAM OF THE WEEK: lantern festival in Chiang Mai, Thailand (taken from le google)
In addition to being excited for fall, who wants to travel to Thailand with me for the floating lantern festival?! The Disney movie Tangled is my jam, so ever since I found out the floating lights were a real thing, I've been singing "I've got a dream! I've got a dream! I just want to see the floating lanterns gleam!"

MOVIE OF THE WEEK: Serenity
Okay, so this movie is a follow up to a tv series called Firefly. Firefly was cancelled 11 episodes into the first season, and (like most weird things that end early) grew a cult following after its cancellation. I wasn't particularly blown away by the tv series- it was entertaining enough to finish the season and wonder what happened to the characters, but I wasn't really emotionally attached to anyone. This movie, though, is everything I hoped a Joss Whedon sci fi western would be. It was equal parts funny and intense, and did a great job wrapping up the story lines without going overboard. Overall, I enjoyed it much more than I thought I would, although I probably wouldn't watch it again.

THOUGHT OF THE WEEK: Invest in people who invest in you. -the Alison Show
This hit me hard when I read it this week. I'm someone who has put myself out there for people, who then weren't there for me when I needed them, instead of building relationships with those who loved me back. One nice thing about getting married and having a baby young is that I quickly learned who my real friends were. It's hard adjusting to this new life as a family of three, and sometimes that has meant I've been flakier than I would have liked. However, my close friends have stuck around through this learning curve, and know that I'll be there for them when their lives get hard, too. The same thing goes for family! I am so lucky to have an incredible family. There have been times where I have taken them for granted, but now that I have a family of my own, I realize how blessed I am for their love and support.
This week, let's work on developing our relationships with people who consistently show they care about us as much as we care about them. Happy weekend, friends!
