1. if you need a rainy day playlist, check out mine. (why did it take me so long to learn about jeremy messermith? if i had learned about him back in MN, than i could've gone to his concerts. ah, life!)
2. it's BACK. yes, radiant readers, the crazy tyra is back and hosting a brand new cycle of ANTM! yes. i love this show. it's a guilty pleasure of mine. a REALLY guilty pleasure. but i just love it.
last cycle was probably my favorite, but just because my favorite girl FINALLY won. * spoiler alert* yes, nicole fox won. isn't she stunning (pic to the right)? well, this cycle is getting a little boring. i don't really know if i really like any of the girls... tyra is just as crazy as ever, though. somethings never change, and i take comfort in that. still, i hope these girls step it up. honestly. oh, and i am so over the drama! last cycle there was very little drama, but this cycle, holy cow! they just let it all go.
3. i like the sound of rain on my windows. it's very peaceful.
some days i just feel like i'm stuck. today, i feel like that. i don't like this feeling. it's uncomfortable. perhaps time is being weird. it's being too slow but at the same time too fast. i'm not in control... and i hate that feeling. not like i'm a control freak. i just like controlling myself... and i can't do that right now. maybe all i need is a good night's sleep.
every few days, i'm going to post a simon and garfunkel song- just because i want to. i will include the music video (or a link to it) as well a link to the lyrics.
to start this off:
i adore simon and garfunkel. they have such wonderful lyrics and such calming tunes. if you want to get a gift for a good friends, get (or make) them a compilation of simon and garfunkel. like this song: Old Friends.
"Can you imagine us years from today,
Sharing a parkbench quietly
How terribly strange to be seventy" full lyrics here
bored? want to solve world hunger? want to improve your knowledge of vocabulary, art, a language, etc? then maybe you should head on over to free rice. it's a really amusing website that will donate rice while you play games. it's really simple. just go check it out. also, look here for FAQs to find out what you're doing... it's really fun. so far, i donated 4030 4100 grains of rice, just by looking at paintings and choosing the correct artist. i learn and save people! win win!
sweetest love song .simone white "you are the sweetest love song
in the world
and i might not remember every word
but you're the best melody i ever heard
going 'round and 'round and 'round in my head
i wish i had you in my arms" .full lyrics
some weekends i just watch films. sorry. that's just who i am.
friday night, i went out to dinner and saw "bounty hunter" with a couple of friends. i did not like this film, not even for a chick-flick (and i have lack standards on that). the film was altogether unbelievable- the characters, the plot lines, the timeline... everything. boo. also, jennifer a looked SO old. it wasn't very appealing.
saturday night i rented two films from iTunes. the first was "two for the road" with audrey hepburn and arnold finney. i've never seen this film before, and i'm on a quest to see ALL of audrey's films. i can't say that i liked it, but i didn't not like it. i was just "emph" about it. the ending was a little ambiguious and the timeline was a little confusing. but the wardrobe was awesome. go 60s!
and then, i watched "all the days before tomorrow." i actually really liked this one. at first, i was really confused, because they leave interpretation up to you as far as the ending goes. but it was good. it was kinda slow, but i didn't mind. and it had these hilarious little "dreams" for the main character to discover little bits about himself. i couldn't find a clip of the one that i wanted, but i found a compilation of clips, including a couple that i love.
[if you are at all interested in the films i've mentioned, check out the recent films column on the right and click on the title to watch a trailer... cool, huh?]
gotta have you .the weepies
"No amount of coffee, no amount of crying
No amount of whiskey, no amount of wine
No, nothing else will do
I've gotta have you, I've gotta have you."
