musical cornucopia
So I've been in a kind of folky-alt country-old country-melancholy music phase for the last couple of months, and have been playing Ryan Adams and the Brokeback Mountain soundtrack constantly (probably to the chagrin of my hip-hop-listening roommate). But I'm always on the lookout for new additions to my collection, and I totally just hit the jackpot. I've been listening to the IndieFeed Indie Pop podcasts for the last few days, and the selections are so fantastic. It's an amazing blend of straight indie pop with some twangy folk, and there was even a Patsy Cline song in there too. <3 I love her. I even found a song from a kid from my cowtown that may or may not be related to one of my good friends?! The other IndieFeed stations are really great too, but this one is totally rocking my socks right now. I've loved almost everything I've listened to.
I don't know why I'm telling this to any of you, because I don't think anyone that reads this likes the same music as me, but if you're looking for some new music to listen to, I highly recommend the IndieFeed podcasts.
this made me feel very pretty
A friend of my friend Steve posted one of these on his myspace profile and it was fucking hilarious. So I wanted to give it a try. He got some really strange results, but mine just made me feel very pretty :) All of my results were such beautiful women that I have always admired and was shocked that my crazy assymetrical face had anything in common with theirs...unless MyHeritage was just trying to get me to buy their software..................naaaaaah. Anyway, check this out:
A few things were very surprising to me:
1) Everyone says that my mom looks like Lynda Carter, especially her eyes. I don't really bear any obvious similarities with my parents, and if I do, it's more my dad, so that was interesting.
2) The fact that Grace Kelly shows up is probably the best compliment I will ever receive in my life
3) Fiona Xie: ???
My friend Steve had an interesting mixed bag: Ashton Kutcher (+), Richard Gere (+), Patrick Swayze (-), Dustin Diamond (aka Screech) (-), Katie Holmes (?), and Virginia Woolf (???).
on becoming an alcoholic
Thought 1: Goddamn, I really want to get drunk right now. RIGHT NOW. I just want the world to go away.
Thought 2: I haven't taken the Paxil in...5 days.
Maybe #2 will take care of #1...?
nothingness
I did absolutely nothing today...and it was the best day I've had in ages! I don't feel guilty at all. It was a beautiful, wonderful day.
