    Through my continual exploration of chick music, I've found some random dudes.  At this exact moment, a ginger has been thrown in my direction.  I'm pretty sure I'm not into his music but as for his looks, I'm slightly intrigued. Yes, add it to my odd attractions:

wait for it...

    If nothing else, you've gotta at least give some credit to that hair.  Holy wow, I wish I had hair that just stood up like that, its absolutely amazing!!  I'm not tellin ya to go listen to his music or anything just give the ginger some recognition for walking around hair that gives me intense flashbacks ...

    On another note; movies.  Firstly I'd like to say do not see "the Quiet", its awful and predictable but was one of those covers I saw at the movie joint and stuck in my mind so I subjected myself to bad cinema, and Edie Falcos boobs.  If you like random movies check out The Saddest Music In The World, it took me a minute to get into it, then it was just a weird ride that I couldn't stop.  Lastly, I have to bash this into your heads:  go see *The Kings Speech !!!

    Seriously.  I finally got around to devoting the time to watching the whole thing and I absolutely loved it.  Oscar well deserved *cough*hurt locker*cough* both to Colin & best film.  Well done Brits, I love you.

    I'd like to take a moment to say that I've achieved a solid week of working out and yarning, every-single-day!!  I'm trying to blog, or write down bits to blog.  I've been trying to work up some collages of ideas for Megs wedding and accidentally getting sucked into that for a while :x  Seems like it can be said that thus far I've had 2 months and 1 week of solid resolution-ating!  I'm going to go pat myself on the back and watch The Green Hornet whilst working on an orange beanie, wee!

Too Perfect To Not Post.

good night

Random:

    I had this as a draft, why I never posted it is beyond me.   This is when I had a raging crush on Mike, as a young lady of 8.  As soon as I saw Epic, there was no going back, that was my ideal guy haha.

My lack of updating. Gah!!!

    This has sucked greatly. I've been jam-packed with stuff and orders the past couple weeks & had 2 weekends of Fisher sibling fun, therefore no internet access.  I've got a busy couple days in front of me as well, and a clusterfuck of ideas in my head to go with the 8 skeins of yarn I purchased on Monday.  PLUS, I need to take photos of about 6 new things for etsy.

    I seriously need 3 more hands, 2 for crocheting/knitting & 1 to consistently feed me coffee and/or RedBulls.

    On a not-so-new note, I'm (still) obsessing on some Mike Patton right now.  Cannot stop listening to Faith No More and Mondo Cane.  But to keep from going on and on I'd like to share St. Vincent:  Ride.  Random bit that popped up on my neighborhood plays and I love it, quite possibly my favorite out of all the songs I've heard by St. Vincent.  Trying to research at 2 am isn't proving successful but  the link isn't by the female St. Vincent (Annie Clark), its by one of the others who I cannot find right now.  If my life depended on this, I would die by 2:16.  Due to my extensive library of useless knowledge though, I can tell you that she was born 1 day after Lil Wayne, making her exactly 4 months older than me.  

    I'm going to crawl my old lazy ass into bed to refresh & sleep.  Here is my sleep music:

then hopefully tomorrow I can seriously get around to blogging a bit more and not just say that I will.

While I gather my thoughts & another whiskey...

Jetta Vegas for 2.27.11

Portland Bound...

   So I'm sitting at the airport in Sacramento, pretty buzzed/close to drunk and cannot wait to be on a plane again. I swear, if I could fly around on a plane for a living, I would do it. Fly passenger, not pilot because I simply couldn't handle that kind of responsibility.
    I had myself a "large" GB Hefenweizen because I saw that my flight was going to be delayed about 40 minutes, then it turns out the plain is delayed an hour and ONE minute "due to weather". Which means I'm ecstatic about the snow that I'm going to be flying into.

   Time to board. Fuckin YAY!!!

Music Monday.

    First I'd like to start you off with something to look forward to this year.  Mr Gordon-Levitt is gracing us with his awesome presence in a new movie in which he looks like my ideal (according to Jason) "homeless guy".  Kind of have a lovely lil fantasy in my head of Dapper G-L vs Metalhead G-L, I won't lie.  But anyhow, Hesher looks pretty amazing so, your welcome. 

Second and main reason for this entry:

last.fm did me the pleasure of introducing me to Paloma Faith.  Just like when I heard Marina and the Diamonds, "Obsession" for the first time, I'm mildly obsessed (no pun intended) with "Upside Down".  I normally listen to "my radio station" which is within the safety bounds of my specific picks and loved track, that or a ridiculous amount of bands & music that have been touched by the golden hand of Mike Patton, BUT lately I've been listening to chicks & Icelandic music.  Have to say its been quite pleasant and I'm glad to add some new broads to my library. 

broads (not all new to the collection, but what I've been listening to):

• Soap&Skin
• Marina and the Diamonds

• Bat For Lashes
• Charlotte Gainsbourg
• Sia
• CocoRosie
• PJ Harvey

icelanders (same as above):

• Sigur Rós
• Emilíana Torrini
• Amiina
• Valgeir Sigurðsson
• Ólafur Arnalds
• Jóhann Jóhannsson
• Parachutes

Also, one I listen to quite frequently who's not to be forgotten AND coincidentally falls into both categories:

He only liked me for my game..

Hard to tell from just a simple photograph, but had I some boobs this kid would have been nestled in them for a solid 10 minutes.  As I played some Angry Birds, he went in for the lean and damn near messed up my perfect score with his big dome covering the screen.  Because my eldest sibling wanted a photo after I had placed the phone down, I picked the phone back up to pose and little man leaned right back in in record time.

The joy of being a kid and not caring if you're invading personal space.
