A Return to the Y

It's soo good to be back at BYU. Utah is a very special place to me. However, I miss my family immensely. So my sister Lise and I have decided to create a DropBox. This is a two-person filesharing system. It started because I took all my music with me when I went off to college, and she and her sister Sasha just got mp3 players, and had no music. Lise is basically addicted to my musical taste, so I drop some of my music into our dropbox and she downloads it. We also have a Word document going that is something like a penpal/letter/email/blog between us. It's really quite fun! Every time we add something to dropbox or add to the Sisterlog, we change the title of the document to something ridiculous and usually having to do with an inside joke. For example, the first time I sent it, it was entitled BACON!!, as a nod to one of our favorite standups, Jim Gaffigan. We talk about what's been going on in our lives, what music we want from each other, and really silly and stupid stuff we think will make the other laugh.

So the spotlight from our very first correspondence was Imogen Heap's new album Ellipse, Mika's new album The Boy Who Knew Too Much, and Regina Spektor's new album Far. So far, I only have Imogen Heap's album, but what I've heard of all them is AMAZING.
