Oh Summer, where art thou?

2010 will be the first year in 17 (!!) years where I won't have a summer vacation to look forward to.  Or any actual institutionally-dictated vacations for that matter. That is a real downer.

Now that I've been working for almost a year (what the..), weekends have become weekly lotto jackpots. By Thursday, I'm SO ready to check out for two days of painfully short bliss. Thankfully, Daylight Savings has returned some of my life back. I've definitely never been this aware of time change.

And so I turn to delusion.. with the help of some summery, pop music. Blair is a 23 year old singer-songwriter who hails from the New Orleans music scene. Her debut album, Die Young, has some hit or miss songs but these two below are pretty infectious. She's a bit Mirah, with a sprinkle of Jenny Lewis.
