Today, it was about 83 degrees with a slight wind... and it's almost August.
Where's the blistering heat?! Where's the melt-your-face-off sun?!
It's 2010- where the fuck is my jet pack and hover board?! Sorry, sorry, I disgress. I get into this thing and... ehhhh, that's another discussion.
Annnnnyway, here's my Summer mixtape! There's not much in the way of new music in this playlist, just some songs you might want to listen to on a lazy summer day.
This mixtape is different for me because it went in this totally 90s "soft rap" route? 90s "soft rap"? Is that a thing? Maybe?? Can you feel the inflection in my voice rising and rising AND RISING with each question I ask? YES? Stop it, Kaya.
Welllll, this has some favorites on here: my fav Tom Petty song, my fav Cranberries song (hellllo, The Babysitter's Club movie, anyone?), my favorite John Fahey song, my favorite Kinks song (shout out to Jaya: we're no longer strangers, my friend), and, as in most of my summertime mixtapes, Led Zeppelin's Going to California (allllways a must). Click on the title to download (only good for 7 days)!

**FEELING MUSIC-Y YET?
This made me laugh and LAUGH AND LAUGH. Eventhough he's on the fast track to ruining my great state of CA, The Governator has a COVER BAND. "WHHHA?" you ask? In this video, the metal band, Austrian Death Machine, basically scream/sings dialogue from his greatest movie, Kindergarten Cop. If you're not into speed metal, skip over to the 0:30 second mark to hear them scream, "YOU THINK IT MIGHT BE/ MIGHT BE A TUMOR. IT'S NOT A TUMOR/ IT'S NOT A TUMOR." Another great line? "IT DOES NOT MATTER WHO MY DADDY IS" (found at the 1:00 minute mark). Annnnother great line? "AND ALL THESE QUESTIONS GIVE ME A HEAD..... ACHE." (at the 2:14 minute mark).
Also, yesterday was the first time I've ever heard a Drake song. Really. Jaya had to email his song, Over, and it ain't bad. I still don't know who you are Drake, but I will figure you out! And with that, here are the other musical gems filling my ears (that couldn't make it on the playlist):
MIMS: This Is Why I'm Hot
Slick Rick & Doug E. Fresh: La Di Da Di
**OBLIGATORY PICTURE POST: Same Difference.
This strangely looks a LOT like what I wore in the last post, which is weird, because I normally dislike wearing sooo much black, especially in hot(ish) weather. This is my version of what Jaya wore, based on this picture from No Futvre.

Ohhhh, look at that white hair! Fun fact about meeeee: My first white hair popped up when I was about 12 years old. I don't know much I have now (constant hair coloring), but ONE DAY (shaking fist at sky), I will go Rouge-style (via X-Men)! Gambit, you can call me, "Mon Cherie" anytime.
