Thursday Things: Music And Caffeine

Happy Thursday! Hope y'all had a lovely Forth of July!

It's been a while since I've done Thursday Things. You know, a random compilation of...randomness. In list form, natch. So here we are.

1. First, I present to you CARLY RAE JEPSEN'S NEW SONG WITH OWL CITY!! Whoa, sorry for the caps. I got excited. You know Carly Rae Jepsen? The girl who sings Call Me Maybe? This new song does not disappoint. Prepare to have a dance party! Good Time by Owl City and Carly Rae Jepsen:


2. Okay, I have to give you another song because I really like this one. Don't worry...it's not another crazy one. It's just awesome. Ho Hey by The Lumineers:

3. Lately I am obsessed--OBSESSED!!--with iced caramel macchaitos from Starbucks. It's an iced vanilla latte with CARAMEL DRIZZLED IN IT OMG. Behold, and then get one for yourself. You can thank me later.


Music and caffeine have pretty much been sustaining me this week. Oh, who am I kidding? Music and caffeine pretty much sustain me every day of every week. Let me know if you have any good song recommendations! I'm always looking for new music. And if you try the iced caramel macchiato and adore it, tell me so I can be pleased with myself :)

  1. Love Owl City (even if he is kinda sappy lol) and I was super excited when I heard that new single. Haven't heard of The Lumineers but def liked what I heard! Will have to look into them more... Caffeine and music get me through the weeks also :)

    1. I really only know that other song from Owl City--fireflies or something?--but his story is so intriguing. Insomniac-turned-singer/songwriter in his parents basement. Love it, haha.

  2. I live on music and caffeine too. I have a long list of people I like. Little Hurricanes, Band of Horses, The Shins, The Civil Wars, Damien Rice, Mumford & Sons, Fiest, A Fine Frenzy. Haha, I'll stop. I just listed people who might be in the same vein as The Lumineers. Not Carly Rae, I can't condone encouraging that even though my kids love her song and I sing along. ;0)

  3. There are far worse things to sustain you than music and caffeine. Enjoy...while you write of course.

    p.s. I've come over from your post at falling for fiction.

    1. Weee happy Friday! That's my favorite song of theirs. They kind of remind me of Mumford & Sons.

  5. I just found your blog from FFF. My girls love Call Me Maybe, so I'll have to share this song with them as well. Glad I found your blog.

  6. I really miss caffeine. I don't drink coffee, but Diet Coke is like a drug to me.

    Thanks for sharing the music!
