Devil Town

The end of the second ep of Friday Night Lights features a song by Tony Lucca...I literally stopped breathing for a second when the song started. I'm aware that's crazy.

Just Like a Circus

I'm previewing Britney's new album, Circus, before it's released December 2nd. I'm probably way more excited about this than a 23 year-old woman should be. Whatever, love her and it's great so far!

Sunday Pedi Sunday

I am writing this while getting a pedicure. I can't think of anything better than having someone make my toes and feet pretty for me so I am free to do important things like this on my phone.

As a side note, driving in dense fog is horrible. It was so bad last night I broke at one point because the mass of white in front of me looked solid. I would liken it to Lost's black smoke monster's white cousin.

Oh and if anyone saw today's breast with larvae on Post Secret this morning are you as disturbed as I am?

What I Want vs. What I Need

So Christmas is coming (!) and although there isn't much I actually need, of course there is an array of things I want. So if you are curious to know (and why wouldn't you be), I have compiled a list of my wants...so far. Expect an addendum.

First up...

This tote bag. It is beyond adorable and I can't stop thinking about it. It is from modcloth.com and retails for $58.

Second...

It's a makeup palette from sephora.com and retails for $48 but is a $320 value. Omg you guys, that is amazing! I dream of all the fun times I can have with this in my life.

Third...

An iPod nano in super cute hot pink. What could be cuter?? it's from applestore.com for $149.

Fourth...

Rachael Yamagata's new CD. It's like $13.99 at any CD store. Great deal guys.


So that's it for now. This is definitely not all inclusive, just what I've got so far!

This plan of mine is oh so very lame...can't you see the grass is greener where it rains?

I have way too much free time and yet I feel like I don't get anything accomplished. Too much time to think and over think things. I like to fill this time with mindless entertainment and brief day dreams of all the places I want to visit. I'm feeling claustrophobic and I need to break out and have some adventures. If not now, when??

Domestic Dreaming

I've been feeling ridiculously domestic lately and I've been wanting to bake. Like fancy fancy stuff. I've been wanting to do specialty cookies, bars and candies for gifts for Christmas for a few years but I think I'm actually going to do it this year. I need to start practicing though so let me know if you want to be a taste tester for me!

Sunday Morning Thoughts

"Hello, tell me you know
Yeah, you figured me out
Something gave it away
And it would be such a beautiful moment
To see the look on your face
To know that I know that you know now"

Just when I thought I knew how things work it changes. Expectations are overrated.

Seeing past what you see.
You think you know me but you don't.
It is below the surface where I come alive.
It's time to dig deeper.

Ela from Concentrate

I cannot concentrate on shit lately. I have too many thoughts and I cannot sort them out. It's driving me insane. I am supposed to have twenty fucking pages written on a script by tomorrow and I haven't even finished the concept and I have no idea what I'm going to do. But I keep procrastinating. Hate this, I just want to clear my mind.

Hey You

Have you ever met someone and realized later that you met them at the wrong time in your life? That things could be different if you had met them earlier/later/whatever. I feel like I've met someone too late. He's already in a relationship but I can't stop myself from feeling smitten. It may be the most un-gratifying feeling.

The Election

This election has been quite emotional for me. I am filled with such pride for my country today, something I definitely haven't felt in the last 8 years. To see Obama win with such an overwhelming amount, inspiring my generation to get out there and vote and winning even the majority of the popular vote. I have nothing but respect and admiration for him. I welled up watching him speak last night. I'm excited for the next four years with him as my President and I'm filled with hope for the future.

I know this means positive things for the country in terms of energy, health care, the economy and diplomacy. Seeing the photos of countries around the world celebrating last night made me truly believe that our country can return to the policies and practices that have made us an ally to the world and a respected nation. I look forward to the end of preemptive attacks for false reasons, to the end of an administration using fear tactics to scare me into giving up freedoms or rights of myself or others.

Speaking of which, it's disheartening that Proposition 8 has passed. I suppose I was naive to think that hate and discrimination is reserved for 'red states' or a generation that is not my own. But hate is taught and bred and exists everywhere still. I hope to look back on Prop 8 years from now as a stepping stone to equal rights for all; but until then I only see it as a reminder of how far we have yet to go.

Love is love and there's no way someone can put fear into my heart to feel otherwise. Here's to the future...I am hopeful for the changes that we can create. Yes we could, yes we did.
