Soundtrack of my life

I have an unnatural obsession with The Killers. I love their new album and I liked their last album, but I ADORE their first album. When I saw them live and they sang this song, I may have hurt myself jumping up and down. On Saturday, my husband and I were driving and I played this song, expounded on why it is the perfect song and then we sang it together as we drove down the highway.




Also - part of this song is my ringtone. I used to abhor people with songs for ringtones and now I'm one.

sigh.

feigning dedication

I owe a real post, but for now: check this out.

oh, and this.

Vacation's all I ever wanted

In less than 3 weeks, I will be here. I love CA, I love wine and I love Sonoma. I even get to stay in this fancy-pants place. I got a super deal, this recession is making my trip much easier to deal with. 

Cannot come soon enough.

Hyphen

Today, my co-worker told me the story of a person named La-a. Guess how La-a prounounces their name?

La-dash-a.

You pronounce the dash.

Why not La-hyphen-a?

Dianefan - suck it!

WTF is the hollywood foreign press association anyway?

I love award shows. a.lot. I watch the pre-show, the show, the post-show and the fashion recap the next day. I know it's lame, but I don't care. I was especially needing my awards fix this year since it was canceled last year.

Here's my list of everything I loved about the GGs this year.

1. Jessica Lange's sunglasses on the red carpet, Drew Barrymore's hair and their uncomfortable stage appearance.
2. Ryan Seacrest chasing Angelina & Brad down the red carpet and not getting an interview.
3. ZACHARY QUINTO. oh my god. I swear my clothes fall off when I look at him.
4. Anna Paquin winning for playing a character named Sooki. Her tooth-gap is cute.
5. Sally Hawkins from Happy Go Lucky winning! Best cutest movie ever and she was so sweet and overwhelmed.
6. Slumdog Millionaire cleaning up. I'm still pissed that Milk was snubbed for the most part, but this is one of my other favorites this year.
7. Christina Applegate's necklace.
8. Tina Fey's speech. Her dress was not cute, but I loved her speech. Even better, all the tv columnists that took her seriously and wrote about it this morning.
9. Kate Winslet winning twice. I love her.
10. Mickey Rourke thanking his dogs. Mickey Rourke making a speech with his hand in his pants. Mickey Rourke rocking hair that had not been washed in 67 days. ummm, Mickey Rourke in general. wow.

Anxiety be damned

My life so far this year can be summed up here:

Especially at night

I worry over situations

I know I'll be alright

Perhaps it's just imagination

Day after day it reappears

Night after night my heartbeat shows the fear

Ghosts appear and fade away

***I liked this before I knew it was a Scrubs song. I hate when songs I love become tv show songs b/c no one believes that you liked it without mass media prompting you.

loser. BIG loser.

I have spent the entire afternoon/evening watching The Secret Life of the American Teenager. That's right, an abc family show. With Molly Ringwald. And a pregnant 15-year-old. How is this a family show? I don't think it's teaching kids good things. I went a half-ass ghetto high school and most kids at least waited until 16 or 17 to have a kid.

Anyway, I'm liking it - and I'm a little sad about that.
