WATCHNG

For whatever reason, this video of a cat performing the Game of Thrones theme makes me laugh until I weep. This and the Panda cheese commercials are the funniest things I’ve ever seen on the Internet.

I’ve seen a lot of things.

My favorite is the one set in the hospital.

PLANNING

P and I have decided to take a trip to Toronto this fall, which is super exciting because I’ve never been to Canada before! After checking out some hotels and practically choking on the price, I found a great little apartment on AirBNB that’s half the price and even more awesome because I can cook a lot of my own food in the kitchen. Though I hear Toronto is great for people with Celiac, I do get a lot of relief knowing I can make food for myself instead of having to venture out three times a day and hope that I don’t get sick. Still, beyond accommodations we have pretty much no plans whatsoever, so if there’s something amazing we should do, let me know!

Of course, this is all predicated on the hope that the State Department will actually issue me a passport, but that’s a story for another time!

LISTENING

Though I don’t like to play favorites, Rachel Ries is probably my favorite singer ever ever.

Without a Bird is her 2007 release, and she hasn’t had any solo work since then. Because I don’t pay attention to new releases, I had no idea that she had a new EP! Laura Lake came out in February, but I didn’t find it until Sunday which was exactly when I needed to hear it. Rachel is one of the few musicians whose albums I listen to all the way through. They’re all beautiful. Buy them, buy them!
