lalalalaaaaa...

yeah
my singing sounds as bad as that above title suggest
but that details people...

thought i'd share some of the music
that's playing on my lil mp3 player
cause i'm too cheap to buy an ipod
and i really have nothing to blog about
but i wanted to blog anyways

However...I am doing this by memory cause I forgot to bring my player with me...
So I may not get names of songs completely right
just deal...


1)Hanging on the telephone-blondie...
I actually wanted to hear the one that plays on that cell phone commercial
but couldn't figure out the artist
i also have the L7 version...but not really into it...
i like this song but lately i can only think
about the recent induction into the hall of fame
and the former members of the band were all like
"please lets up play"
and debbie harry was all like
"my BAND is playing"
can we say
AWKWARD!


2)Burning photographs-ryan adams
those who know me know i have much love for this man
this song...i adore
mainly for the lyric
"i used to be sad, now i'm just bored with you"
I believe this is off Rock and Roll (the album)
but really...there are just too many so who knows...





3)Talk- Coldplay
I alternate between thinking that i like coldplay
and thinking they are boring
but i like this song
i think
it doesn't make me sad like "the scientist" or "fix you" or
well most of their other songs
did you know when Jennifer Connelly married the blonde guy from all those long ass Russell Crowe movies (ask me about long ass Russell Crowe movies one day) anyways "the scientist" was their wedding song...
its a prozac generation, people...

4)Sick and Tired- Canadian Cross Creek or something...its a long name and i only know this one song
but i like it...its catchy...

5)Bottle of You- Joseph Arthur
makes me want to shower
also makes me wonder if what kind of shampoo she uses
and if its the last of the bottle will he go to CVS to replace it

6)Celebrity Skin
Malibu Hole
Violet
Am going through a Courtney Love phase. Notice you cannot think of any other members of this band. Sure, you real music geeks will be like melissa whats her face, the red head guitar player and then there is that lanky blonde guy who played a guitar and dated drew barrymore which is why she is godparent of the kid courtney and kurt had.

ANyways the 1st two are from the last album they had and i really like it... more polished and pop...but Violet has the best opening... "and the stars are just like little fish"

5)Some song by Imogene Heap
I don't know which one. Not the one I really like. Or the other one. Or the frou frou one. Just some song I liked.

6)All Things must pass- George Harrison
One of three songs that MUST be played at the celebration of my life right before my body (and the cats) are cryogenically frozen and shot into space. Then you may proceed to eat the quesadillas and shrimp cocktail and margaritas...
invitation only!


7)I write the sins and not the tragedies-Panic! At the Disco
I have no ideal what this song is about...something about a lawyer, a virgina, formaldehyde and a another kind of purse...it that a drug reference?


8) No Ring on My finger- The Bravery
Hot Band alert. I really enjoy their music, especially this song...

9)My Happiness- Powderfinger
(+2 other Powderfinger songs) I only really like the Happiness song... I first heard it on pandora... it reminds me of the 90's pop-alt angst white boy bands that i adore (better than ezra, i'm looking at you) so color me disapointed with the other songs i downloaded...

10) My Number- Tegan and Sarah
My fave song from them, as of late.

11) Crazy for you- Whiskeytown
Ryan Adams at his tangiest goodness. This band just blows me away. And this song is happy, fun.

12) In My Secret Life- Leonard Cohen
His word/ singing poetry is a guilty pleasure. I feel like i should be in some dark club wearing a cocktail dress, drowning my sorrows with bourbon on the rocks, smoking cigarette after cigarette....

13) My Doorbell- The White Stripes
Oh I love these guys so much. This is such a garage band rocking song. Makes me want to bang on the drums and shake my hips...
happy listening...suggestions appreciated...often ignored
s

i hear the bells....

i'm just generally pleased with the story arc of this season veronica mars...
and the fact that logan and veronica (the actors) have so much chemistry it makes my fingers tingle...
like a good romantic pairing should
sigh

(however i kept thinking they shouldn't kiss...she just found out she has chlamydia...ah the std storyline done so well with emma on degrassi...bj's and gonorhea....)
i like the song too...
as much as i find the character logan so dreamy....tortured and witty and bad but not really bad
i know that it only works for me on tv...
i don't have the patience or empathy to put up with such a person in real life
i like my melodrama to be fictional...
i'd still hit it though...over and over and over....

Happy administative professionals day!
have you thanked the people who shuffle the papers
who make sure you get paid
and just generally control every aspect of your work life
today?
i got a gift cert for bath and body works from my beloved faculty...
its a bribe i know
:)
still somethings were done faster today...j/k j/k


lates
s

oh you bastard....

everytime i think we are over
he pulls me back in...

that damn ryan adams
how i love you so...
totally into whiskeytown lately....
something about his voice
and oh those words
i will overlook the fact he's a wino
and needs a bath...

if you don't know who he is
its
RYAN ADAMS
and he is divine

remember this movie...
"whats a virshin"
heh
i think i need to netflix it...

i am rocking the wedge shoes today
i think i look cute and not as fat as yesterday
hey...if superhero's have body issues sometimes
oh but i am wearing my fave skirt...the one i always forget i have
its red and flared and flowery...too cute

i promised myself that i would register for the class today
i just think my name would look so hot with an MBA after it...
MD too...but smart people don't let me near x-rays and scapels...

did you know that the fda is working on releasing a HPV vaccination
why is this important?
because 80% of women will be exposed to the HPV virus in their lifetime
HPV can lead to cervical cancer
HPV is a silent epidemic...
250,000 women a year die from cervical cancer (world wide) Mostly in third world countires...
talking about women bleeding to death...
so people...get your paps...
and make sure the government does not let the religious factions
squash this highly important shot
due to a moral judgement that this will promote promiscuity...
no people...it promotes life saving...

who wrote that? surely not me
for i am far more concerned about the nastiness of the
sheen-richards and locklear-sambora breakups
SCANDALOUS!

<---------EWWW... ah better......------->










also 3 more episodes before we know who blew up the freaking bus...
And first disk of the first season of Battlestar Galactica!!!!!!!!!YEAH!!!!!!!!

BYE FOR NOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!
s

A pissed off cat after his morning meds and a camera phone.....

Working for the weekend.....

it better not be raining when i am counter-protesting at the abortion clinic in the am...
and i hope there is a bathroom nearby...cause i will need coffee...
i wonder if there are donuts involved?
thats me....politically conscious when fried balls of death are provided...
sigh

so let's talk about Veronica Mars, shall we
I know many of you are not watching
and all I can say
your going to regret..
Come on people..LOST? whooo Hurley is crazy, is he going to die, oh he doesn't what a surprise.
Oh, look Libby was a mental patient. Yeah like we didn't see that coming...
Oh lock and jack are still fighting...kate still has perfect hair...the koreans still speak korean...
WHATEVER

but on VM...
So Thumper killed Felix
Weevil sets him up with the Fitzpatricks
They kill Thumper
However its Logan who pushes the button
Logan who was arrested and tried for Felix's death
Now killed Thumper...
by winning the internship that gave him the honor of imploding the stadium
where the Fitzpatricks chained Thumper
to a urinal
all of which Weevil planned...
DUDES... It was awesome
You want more
Woody is gay, maybe? A pedophile, maybe? TOuched the Beav? the beave is evil, maybe?
Veronica and Logans dance...ahhhhhhhh....yes!

But who really killed Felix? Cause I don't think it was Thumper.
Oh and that little item of the school bus sent over a cliff
while filled with kids
It's going to be a nasty reveal folks.!
WATCH THIS SHOW....

ok enuff about that
Ms Jennifer ANiston has been getting excellent reviews
for her new movie
Friends with Money
From the same director of
"Walking and Talking" and "Lovely Amazing"
two movies I really liked
can't wait to see this one...

Apparently, the one in middle has a name. And she is leaving the group. Which I would think that would result in a quandry. Seeing as she is the only one who sings. I am fascinated it takes six of these people to "sing" a song that has only one vocal track....but hey that's just me!
according to the news mags I read at the gym
the hard hitting journalism of In Touch & Us weekly
Jessica Simpson wants to adopt
Nick is dating Laguna Beach jailbait
Star Jones almost dies from boob surgery
Paris & Nicole really really hate each other
Katie Holmes is doomed...
but she sucked the life out of Dawson's Creek
Karma baby, karma!

Mk threw up this morning...nasty hairball
otherwise the kats are doing well...
pissers

I have a freezer full of chocolate
courtesy of the easter box
from mom
It's real chocolate too
not that fake chinese chocolate like material...

Libby: Bush himself authorized leak on Iraq

Yeah that's a surprise....
Shady people...they are all shady

speaking of shady ...slim shady eminem is getting divorced after 82 days of marriage to his ex wife Kim...look for more inspirational wife murdering anthems coming this fall...

This is an interesting news piece on those crazy french...

I want to read this book!
"Mercury, arsenic, antimony, lead, and thallium—the agents explored in Emsley's grimly clinical primer—induced repeated vomiting and diarrhea and turned the body into wasting, stench-ridden flesh" slate.com review
Do you know that women use to boil fly paper for the arsenic then take small doses of it for their complexions....or for Murder!



Ok friends and enemies!
s

my passion...

I read. I read alot.
I, however, do not own alot of books.
Instead, I go to the library or when I do buy books I pass them on to people. Sometimes I leave them in random places for others to enjoy.
For me, books are like fire to the firespinners...
without the whole third degree burn, singed hair smell
and they aren't as sexy.
(I can wear leather pants while reading, but I choose not too. They chafe)

I read alot. And I read fast.
Which means I take in quite a bit of crap.
But every so often I find a true gem
Something that makes my heart sing
and my fantasies take off.

So I thought I would put down into words the my top 10 books
(all of which I advocate strongly for)

1) To Kill a Mockingbird- Harper Lee
If I could write, this is the book that I would write.
Scout, Atticus and Boo Radley are three of the greatest literary characters, in my opinion.
Mockingbird was Lee's only book and I can see why
Favorite part: The showdown between Atticus Finch and the rabid dog.


2) Murder on the Nile- Agatha ChristieIf I could write several books, this would be one of them.
I love Agatha Christie, between her and Nancy Drew I developed this deep love for the mystery. Truly the greates genre of books. Ever
I have traveled with Hercule Poirot (greatest detective EVER!) around the world, but no where more exciting or treacherous as this boat tour down the great river.
Favorite moment: The solving of the crime. So freaking complex.

3)Devil in the White City-Erik Larsen
Recent non-fiction. I reccomend this to everyone. The story of the building the worlds fair turn of the century Chicago is filled with intrigue, fun facts, horrid murder and the best history lesson about the rise of the Windy City. You know a book is fabulous when you wish the chapters on the first serial killer would be shorter so you can read more about the architect in charge of such a huge project.
Favorite tidbit: First use of widespread electricity.


4)War and Peace-Tolstoy
So russian. So long. Every other character is named some form of Nicholas. War and Peace is why I love huge books entrenched in history, filled with hundreds of characters. I have read it twice-once to say I have read it, the second time because it was so good.
Favorite part: The taking of Moscow


5)Lovely Bones- Alice Sebold
Please read this book. It will affect you deeply.
What happens to us and loved ones when we die. Heaven never seemed so good and bittersweet.
Favorite piece: The opening line




6)Pride and Prejudice- Jane Austin
The greatest love story. Funny too. No wonder people keep making movies about it.Even a bollywood version
Favorite Characters: Elizabeth Bennett and Mr Darcy, duh





7) Harry Potter 4&5-JK Rowling

I read this within three days so they seem like one book to me. These volumes reflect a darker more intriguing Harry. The action is more fun, the new characters are more interesting and Voldemort- he scares the crap out of me.How will the series end? Can Harry be expected to live. JK Rowling, I am your bitch!
Favorite Character: I really do like Harry.

8)Watership Downs-Richard Adams
It's a book about bunnies! How can one go wrong.
Oh, I don't know- maybe the fact this book is scary as hell. This is no Peter Rabbit. It's bloody, violent and an interesting look into society. Yes, with bunnies. FIVER!
Favorite Moment: The scary, cult of fat bunnies and the barbed wire.

9)Sophies Choice-William Styron
Of the american writers from this time period, William Styron is my favorite.
Often overlooked in the story of the holocaust are the thousands of Poles who were sent to concentration camps. A country continually invaded, my people used as pawns of one madman or another. Modern Day america and how the past haunts you.
What is Sophies Choice? Let us just say it will break your heart, make you hate her, make you pity her, make you wonder if you could make the same?
Favorite Anything: Meryl Streep is Sophie

10)The Westing Game-Ellen Raskin
This book makes so many adult mysteries look childish. Found in the YA section of your bookstore this story has so many twists and turns you will need to read it twice!

Favorite Character: Turtle




So there you have it
My official list.
Let me know what your fave book is.... I might not have read it!
