Those Dancing Days – “One Day Forever”

August 6, 2014 by Nick No Comments

An earworm is a snippet of a song that gets stuck in your head and repeats over and over.  Over 90 percent of people suffer from this debilitating condition at least once a week.  Studies have shown that one possible cause is our mind’s being in a “low attention state”, which explains why I always get an earworm when I’m walking Mia in the morning.  I’ll be sharing these Morning Earworms with you every morning (that I remember to) because misery loves company.  Enjoy!

When I found Those Dancing Days a couple years ago I was saddened that they were no longer.  Sweden sure knows how to make indie pop bands, thats for sure.  “One Day Forever” is from their second album Daydreams and Nightmares and features Orlando Weeks from the Maccabees.  This whole album is full of solid tracks and needs to be in your collection.

Bonus video: My favorite Those Dancing Days song, “I’ll Be Yours”.

Compliments from Budding Fashionistas

 This is a new top that Nick picked out and it’s already gotten a lot of wear. He has great taste, doesn’t he? I wore this outfit to one of my last clinic days where a 14-year-oldish patient came up to me to tell me how much she loved my shoes. I could tell that she was a budding fasionista herself because she was wearing a cute little top half-tucked into skinny jeans, and lace oxfords. When I told her that I found these shoes on sale for $13 at Old Navy, her eyes lit up. I’m pretty sure I know where she went right after her appointment! I wish I could have taken a photo with her, but that probably wasn’t allowed. She definitely made my day, and I hope she found a pair of green heeled sandals of her own.

I wore this outfit again last week for my internship final evaluation presentation, where I was complimented again by the field placement director on being well-dressed and appropriate for the work place. So, I would definitely say this outfit is a win; it makes me feel great each time I wear it.

I was afraid that the statement necklace wouldn’t make much of a statement, and I can tell from these photos that I was right. It did get lost in the chevron pattern but I tried several different necklaces with the same effect. Next time I might go with a simple pearl necklace or a solid scarf instead.
