Happy Weekend!

Have been listening to this non-stop for the lasdt 2 days!

The Red Headed Step Child of Candy

So it turns out plain M&Ms and candy corns, not wanted. Twix, though, is the popular kid with the hot gf.

New Shopping Discovery

Dorothy Perkins. Really love their dresses. And the prices in £ make me think everything is much cheaper than it really is.

On Killing & Forgivness

"We can forgive you for killing our sons. But we will never forgive you for making us kill yours."
Golda Meir, to Anwar Saddat just before the peace talks.

"Spin the Bottle"

I've been organizing my cds lately.I have the Reality Bites soundtrack case, but no actual disc. Ugh.

"He's a movie star and he drives rented cars" has been running through my head. And then the refrain "5 minutes in the closet with you" - thus I must post this video to get it out of my head. I hope "My Sherona" doesn't get stuck there next!



"Everybody's watching. Everybody's looking.
She's such a sucker. He don't want to fuck her."

How awesome are those lines of pure vulnerability and desire?!

G-d 90's were awesome.

Not So Deep Thought

Everyday is a sunny day. You just don't see the sun sometimes. #wowthatwasstupid #igotnothing

Coffee Tip

McDonald's coffee is actually pretty good. And for a buck (any size is just a dollar) it beats DD or Starbucks any day.

My Driving Experience Summed Up

I spend a lot of time thinking about how to make my driving a better experience. That last button, I need it a lot.

The Inner Photographer

I'm definitely guilty of a few of these, especially this one:


I try hard not to take too many scenery photos...because honestly I can get better photos of the place than the professionals. I usually take photos and then delete the after, it's an itch I have to scratch.

Also this is a big pet peeve of mine:




Supposedly you are there to listen to the music, to have a unique experience, right? Or are you there to show off to everyone that your were at this cool concert? I like taking photos at concerts, but minimally so, not so much that interferes with the show. I took a photo of the palm trees while listening to Leonard Cohen - because it captured the feeling of the moment - the picture came out kind of crappy but I love it because it function as a trigger to my memory.

So yeah the inner photographer in all of us needs to take it down a notch, be less trigger happy.

Christoper Walken Letter

I adore the whole letter but especially this part:

THEN CAME THE NOT SO BUSY PART. I FINISHED THE WEDDING CRASHERS IN EARLY JUNE AND NOW ITS MID AUGUST AND HERE I AM UNEMPLOYED. ID THROW MYSELF OUT MY BASEMENT WINDOW BUT IM AFRAID ID BREAK MY NOSE. HA HA.

There are not a lot of celeberities who would write like that, honestly, with humor, and without the pretentious tone of being a know it all.

A (ever growing) Short List

Recent events have made me come up with a list of places I like humanity the least or in other words want to murder almost every single person I see:
1. Costco or any food store on a busy weekend afternoon. Most of the people who shop are zombies easily swayed by shiny light in the distance. Pet Peeve: people stopping in the middle of the aisle for no apparent reason.
2. Horrible, mind numbing, miles long traffic. I thought, to some extent, I have become a better driver. One more in control, less impulsive, and far less likely to stick the middle finger while cutting a batty old grandma who can't see over her wheel. But no, apparently all that was momentary lapse, because last weekend stuck in 7 hour traffic from Massachusetts to New Jersey the inner crazy emerged. People who make me hate humanity:
a)Mindless cell phone talkers.
b)Old people, who find virtue in driving slow.
c)Mother types, in cars that should be driven in a war zone and not a saburb.
d)Assholes who knowingly cut everyone off at the exist. I hope there is a special place for them in hell. Apparently, their time is more precious than others, plus that behavior causes even more
backed up traffic.
3. Crowded bars with loud music. Thank Gd I can avoid these places.
4. RMV. The flourescent lighting. The grimace on each employees face. The knowledge that no matter how early you get there, three hours of your life will be taken from you.

Back To The Future Extravagenza!

Back to the Future is one of my favorite movies. One of the first American movies I fell in love and would watch alone or with my family. In fact this reminds me that there is no longer movies like that, ones where the whole family could enjoy together, without feeling creeped out.

Anyhoo, Angela informed me about this:


Basically AMC theaters are showing Back to the Future in theaters to celebrate the 25th anniversary of the films release. I can't wait.

Also related, I found this Cracked take on Back to the Future being a lit more rapey, racist, and all around creepy hilarious:

Friday Song!

As mentioned previously I basically pretend I'm Molly Ringwald aka Claire whenever I dance.

Song of the Day

Billy Joel's version of "To Make Me Feel My Love." It's cold and stormy outside and the song seemed appropriate.
