M'fuckin Monday!!!
Simply because I've been over obsessed with the Black Swan Soundtrack, I don't have much to offer this week on the musical side, so its mostly movies this week. But first, I would like to spread the good word and give you something that very well could help you with your day, week, life, whatever:
Now on to the films! Based on real people:
Now on to the films! Based on real people:
- Temple Grandin - heres a site about the real Temple Grandin and her teachings on autism and such
- The Experiment - based on this documentary on the Stanford Prison Experiment
- I Like Killing Flies
- Blood Into Wine - winos & Maynard fans alike will enjoy this
Ballet:
- Black Swan - because there are surprisingly still people who haven't seen it, wtc?
- Dancing Across Borders - like it or not, ballet is gorgeous to watch
- Center Stage - my guilty-not-guilty pleasure
Then all I can say on a music standpoint is to add more of these guys to your library:
- Clint Mansell
- Janet Jackson
- Jamiroquai
- Sam Sparro - for the wife

The Word of the Day for April 2 is:
meshuggener \muh-SHUG-uhner\ noun
: a foolish or crazy person
example: I am a meshuggener because its 10:15 pm and I'm having coffee.
Seriously I feel like a bum. I didn't work out today, didn't crochet or edit photos. I didn't even read, which was one thing I was guaranteeing myself of doing this weekend. Didn't didn't didn't, big fat EFF. However by chance I did find the soundtrack to Black Swan, that's a plus, along with the amazing shower I just took accompanied by all the LUSH products: BIG, Its Raining Men, Veganese and to smell (even more) pretty I dabbed on some Lust (which I love, thank you Wifey).
I suppose its not all bad, just bummed I didn't do my workout mostly. Seeing as how I've just induced myself with some coffee and the quiet house has my mind on overdrive, I'll probably be up a while and hopefully get some stuff done online. Fingers crossed.
