Next Saturday...

i will be watching Little Joy perform. yaaaaaay!!

The hurting.

the new Kanye West album is excellent. every song is a gem, it's awesome. one of his best songs, "Coldest Winter" is sampled from the Tears For Fears song "Memories Fade". the song is great, and the lyrics are sooo sad, i love them of course. finally, a song that understands my plight.

There's only need
I love your need
So much I'm losing me
I cannot see the reason for the pain
With hungry joy
I'll be your toy
Just hoping you will play
Without hope my body starts to fail

Memories fade but the scars still linger
Goodbye my friend
Will I ever love again
Memories fade but the scars still linger

I cannot grow
I cannot move
I cannot feel my age
The vice like grip of tension holds me fast
Engulfed by you
What can I do
When history's my cage
Look foward to a future in the past

The more I talk
The more I say
The less you seem to hear
I'm speechless in a most peculiar way
Your mind is weak
Your need is great
And nothing is too dear
For you to use to take the pain away
Memories fade
No don't pretend you can justify the end
Memories fade but the scars still linger

Well I'm afraid of changing...

"Because here's something else that's weird but true: in the day-to day trenches of adult life, there is actually no such thing as atheism. There is no such thing as not worshipping. Everybody worships. The only choice we get is what to worship. And the compelling reason for maybe choosing some sort of god or spiritual-type thing to worship -- be it JC or Allah, bet it YHWH or the Wiccan Mother Goddess, or the Four Noble Truths, or some inviolable set of ethical principles -- is that pretty much anything else you worship will eat you alive. If you worship money and things, if they are where you tap real meaning in life, then you will never have enough, never feel you have enough. It's the truth. Worship your body and beauty and sexual allure and you will always feel ugly. And when time and age start showing, you will die a million deaths before they finally grieve you. On one level, we all know this stuff already. It's been codified as myths, proverbs, clichés, epigrams, parables; the skeleton of every great story. The whole trick is keeping the truth up front in daily consciousness."

-David Foster Wallace

50 reasons to have sex.

LMAO!! i can't stop cracking up over this awesome list from How I Met Your Mother. there's no doubt that this show is one of the best ever! my favorites are numbers 29, 38, and 49.

Another Christmas present.

Big boys don't cry.

10cc- I'm Not in Love

Yes!

the lovely Nicole Kidman is on the cover of my new Glamour magazine and she says some inspiring words:

"I have girl-friends in their twenties, and I say, "Ask me anything. You can learn from the things I did wrong, and you can learn from the things you think I'm doing right. Take whatever you want and make it your own. "So: Have no regrets. Every relationship leads you to where you're meant to be. Learn to be comfortable with being alone. Learn to be comfortable with saying no to people; we put everybody else before ourselves. Read great literature; don't get all your information from TV. Define your moral-code-nobody else is going to give you that. Find it yourself. Keep asking questions, keep challenging. You don't have to conform. Rebellion creates character. And, as my mother always said to me, "Don't let anyone break your spirit!"

Pixar is the bomb.

from my favorite blog ever (Pop Candy). i love The Incredibles, Wall-E, Toy Story, basically anything Pixar does. this is the trailer for their next film, Up.

Poor kitties.

it's not an everyday thing to have 3 sick cats in the house...

Harry, ear mites and infested bite wounds.

Sally, self-inflicted scratches due to bothersome flea bites.

"Everybody leaves

i recently got into How I Met Your Mother and it's soooo freaking hilarious!! i love Neil Patrick Harris, he's the best! he's also great in the Dr. Horrible blog. it's a must see!
this video is from season 2, when Barney (Neil Patrick Harris) makes them sit through his horrible one-man play...because that's what friends do.

I gotcha number.

i just killed the last half of my bag of flaming hot cheetos and that's just not enough.
