Coachella 2009.

oh my GOD!! for 3 weeks i have been checking every single day to see if the lineup was leaked, and since everyone was doing the same thing, the anticipation for this year's Coachella was crazy. it's finally here and i have to say that i'm very pleased. Paul McCartney, Morrissey, Yeah Yeah Yeahs, Amy Winehouse!, The Black Keys, Conor Oberst, Leonard Fucking Cohen!!!, Dr. Dog, M. Ward, Fleet Foxes, i love this lineup! and there's a lot of smaller bands that i would like to see too, Friendly Fires, Glass Candy, Gang Gang Dance, The Kills, Sebastien Tellier...although this year is not as excellent as 2007, i'm still going to all 3 nights, no matter what!!! now i just need to convince someone i know that they have to go to all 3 nights too!

p.s. i'm so doing the layaway plan, lol.

Pop Culture Orgasm.

i didn't have internet access for 4 days, and the only thing that i missed was reading the Pop Candy blog. that girl knows everything! she is on top of her shit. i have discovered so many things from her. she pleases my mainstream lust.

i <3 Whitney.

Next Saturday...

i will be watching Little Joy perform. yaaaaaay!!

Why isn't he my boy-friend?!!!

Justin Timberlake is funny. I love him!!

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!"

Weird Fishes/Arpeggi.

"Everybody leaves
If they get the chance
And this is my chance..."

President Obama.

this gives me the chills. it brings tears to my eyes, it's so excellent.

That's two.

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 want you.

soooo stole this idea from another blog i frequent, but oh wells, at least i'm giving credit, hehehehe!

Zach...i know you do McArdiente (even though you've only known me for two weeks)

still got nothing but love for you Paris...you inspire me!

question to ponder...why is ice-cream like a little piece of heaven?

"i want you,

just exactly like i used to,

and baby this is only bringing me dowwwwn...."

Once there was a way, to get back homeward...

i ADORE the Beatles. 'love' is too weak a word to define how i feel about this band. (thanks Prince, lol.) today there's a one-night only screening of All Together Now, a documentary about Love, the Beatles-themed Cirque De Soleil show. the DVD comes out tomorrow, but unless one has a projector screen or a giant TV, it just won't be the same.

thanks Amie, for telling me about Abbey Road, the most perfect, beautiful, and sexiest album ever. i love singing "Carry That Weight" at the top of my lungs!

to see locations and showtimes, please click here: http://www.thebiggerpicture.us/together/index.html

Boy-you're gonna carry that weight,

carry that weight a long time.

I never give you my pillow,
I only send you my invitations,

And in the middle of the celebrations
I break down.

Non sum qualis eram bonae sub regno Cynarae.

my horoscope said that i would be feeling romantic today...

Non sum qualis eram bonae sub regno Cynarae

Last night, ah yesternight, betwixt her lips and mine

There fell thy shadow, Cynara! thy breath was shed

Upon my soul between the kisses and the wine;

And I was desolate and sick of an old passion,

Yea, I was desolate and bowed my head:

I have been faithful to thee, Cynara! in my fashion.

All night long upon mine heart I felt her warm heart beat

Night-long within mine arms in love and sleep she lay;

Surely the kisses of her bought red mouth were sweet;

But I was desolate and sick of an old passion,

When I awoke and found the dawn was gray:

I have been faithful to thee, Cynara! in my fashion.

I have forgot much Cynara! gone with the wind,

Flung roses, roses riotously with the throng,

Dancing, to put thy pale, lost lilies out of mind;

But I was desolate and sick of an old passion,

Yea, all the time, because the dance was long:

I have been faithful to thee, Cynara! in my fashion.

I cried for madder music and for stronger wine,

But when the feast is finished and the lamps expire,

Then falls thy shadow, Cynara! the night is thine;

And I am desolate and sick of an old passion,

Yea, hungry for the lips of my desire:

I have been faithful to thee Cynara! in my fashion.

*Sigh* It's by Ernest Dowson. The title means: I am not what I was under the reign of the lovely Cynara.
