YAY ITS MAY! ...I mean...June.

Here are some of my summer obsessions (or rather, stuff I really like this summer)...

3. Country Music -- something about being back in Tracy just brings back my love of keith, rascal flatts, carrie and good ol kenny chesney.
4. Stanford -- I went to do some research at the University and I decided that I want to go there for Grad School. Its perfect especially because I'm white :) Plus, their mascot is a tree. And we all know that nothing beats a tree.
   
5. Jason Mraz -- now, if you know me, which you all do, you are probably saying to yourself, or to the computer screen, Dana this is not a new obsession. You, my friend, would be correct. This is not a new obsession, but it has molded into something more like this...reading his blogs...following him on twitter...watching tons of his concert videos on youtube (which are crappy quality and provide no real sustainable happiness)...adding every thing on his websites store that I don't already have to my "shopping cart", knowing that I cant have it all...and looking up tour dates every day, and every day refreshing the pain of knowing it is physically impossible for me to attend. (insert tears of pain here). Oh, and I almost forgot the part where I cry myself to sleep at night.
6. Renaissance Art -- This is roughly what my research is about which I'm doing for the conference at OSU in two weeks, so its kinda taking over my life! :)
   
7. Shakespeare on film -- For my mom's birthday I asked her what she wanted and she said to me, how about you get every Shakespeare movie you want, because I like to give. And I said, for your birthday? Ok, deal! And I did it quick before she could change her mind. Little did she realize that there are hundreds of versions of Shakespeare on film. Muwahahaha. So I showed her like 30 that I wanted, and she said, how about we only a few month...So we bought 6 (including Rosencrantz and Guildenstern are Dead, with Gary Oldman, which i conned her into, because "technically" its not a Shakespeare. But, almost.). And if you're a fan of James MacAvoy and love Macbeth, I have the best version for you! Let me know :) Haha. This is not a joke.
8. This -- haha. i know, its ridiculous. but i don't care.
9. "So You Think You Can Dance" -- no explanation necessary. But I'm going to give you one anyway. 20 dancers. 3 judges. Lots of amazing choreographers. 1 host. It's just a crazy good time.
   
10. Last but not least, THE SUN!! -- I love you, sun. You bring me joy and freckles :)
