twitter all in one, with pictures too!

everyone has a twitter these days, am i like totally un-cool and out-of-date or what? i understand that one of the benefits of having a twitter means you don't have to feel silly and kind of lame when you write about series of random things in one single blog post. but i can't be bothered signing up a twitter account, so here's me feeling silly and kind of lame!

- i feel like i need to be on the road again. and i will. in 3 weeks!

- i thought i was the luckiest girl in the world when you offered to sponsor my stubbornness.



- interpol is so addictive.

- guess who i saw in downtown vancouver this week? dakota fanning! she was absolutely lovely. i'm guessing she was in town filming new moon.


gaspard ulliel

- okay, maybe french dudes are allowed to be smugs.

- i stumbled upon a few travel-writing blog posts about greece. and thought to myself, of all the tourists, no one (even if there are, only a few) can ever experience greece as we experienced it, and no one loves her like we do. i'm being a total snob but that was how i felt.



- the presets show we went to a few weeks ago (yes i know i'm totally behind) was fantastic fun.

- we also went to see ali's friend play in a dodgy pub. we got to meet some of the musicians who played that night, which was cool.

by the way, did you know that twitter is ruining our moral values? twitter is hardening our hearts, we hear all the terrible things that are going on in the world in short text versions which makes us not reactful. by only reacting on a surface level, that in time, makes us cold. read this! and that is exactly why i don't use twitter and therefore bug you with a very random and unorganized blog post instead! (now i feel even lame-r having to justify my action with a scientific finding!) i do use facebook though, but that only means i lose half of my moral values and that's totally fine with me. it's not like i have a whole lot to begin with.

LOOKIE HERE: lollapalooza the awesome-ness

i'm not addicted to these sort of fb/myspace games. it just happened that adam tagged me for this a few days ago and i thought this is even more awesome than the last one!

i must confess that i did not own an ipod until last year. i was oddly and strangely really anti-apple. something got to me and now i have an inherited blue-ish nano named lollapalooza the awesome-ness, soon to be lollapalooza meyers. i'm rather fond of the future mrs. jonathan rhys meyers and always feeding her the best stuff out there.



The game: If your life were a soundtrack, what would the music be?

Here's how it works:
1. Open your library (iTunes, winamp, media player, iPod)
2. Put it on shuffle
3. Press play
4. For every question, type the song that's playing
5. New question - press the next button
6. Don't lie and try to pretend you're cool

Opening Credits: the shins, "a call to apathy"
foking great. if my life were this movie, i'm doomed.

Waking Up: spoon, "this book is a movie"
i'll publish an autobiography, which turns out to be a big success, and then they make it into a movie. not so shabby after all.

First Day At School: architecture in helsinki, "do the whirlwind"
i wish my first day of school were this incredibly sexy and awesome.

Falling in Love: interpol, "obstacle 1"
not what i imagined my falling in love would be like, but i love interpol and have no complain.

Breaking Up: yeah yeah yeahs, "y-control"
this is in a strange way utterly appropriate, and i would soooo break up to this song!

Prom: calogero, "face a la mer"
i never went to my senior prom therefore have no idea what went on, just like how i feel about the song, it's in french and i have absolutely no clue what it's about.

Life's Okay: the national, "all the wine"
what? does this mean that i enjoy life only because alcohol is my escape from reality? and apparently i turn into a total smug and act pompously when i'm intoxicated. oh nooooo! but life could be worse, i suppose.

Mental Breakdown: the wombats, "little miss pipedream"
i'm starting to get very very confused. my interpretation is that working in a dental office (like miss pipedream in the song) 9-5 everyday is the cause of my mental breakdown. yep that's it.

Driving: acid house kings, "i write summer songs for no reason"
i guess if we don't take the lyrics into consideration, this is a pretty nice song to road trip with, maybe write some summer songs while i'm away too. woop!

Flashback: razorlight, "in the morning"
wow! if my life really were this movie, i must be a very fucked up person. i mean i don't get what exactly this song is about, but it's definitely got something to do with getting shit-faced, sex/prostitution, or maybe even pete doherty.

ohhh hold the phone hold the phone, i got it! this is all making sense now. after my mental breakdown because of the dead-end job, i decided to take a road trip and wrote a hit summer song. i became a rock star and led a decadent lifestyle (therefore the autobiography) that filled with booze, blunts, and bitches. it sounds kinda awesome.

Getting Back Together: klaxons, "gravity's rainbow"
"come with me, come with me, we'll travel to infinity". i guess i really picked myself up after all that shit huh?

Wedding: sea wolf, "black dirt"
dude, what kind of sick wedding is this? a song about corruption, darkness, heartbreak, revenge, and possibly murder, soundtracking my wedding? did I have another mental breakdown or something? though i would totally play sea wolf at my wedding.

Birth of a Child: magic numbers, "long legs"
i'm going to be a bad mother.

Final Battle: the do, "on my shoulders"
after all that i've been through, it doesn't seem like i put on a very good fight in the end. well, if this was my final battle soundtrack, at least it is a stylish war.

Death Scene: the kooks, "seaside"
this song is beautiful, melancholy, and very short. surprising perfect for a death scene, although the lyrics have nothing to do with death.

Funeral Song: the pigeon detectives, "take her back"
dude what's going on at my funeral? guys get so drunk they can't even tell the girls they're hooking up with are 17 or 31?

End Credits: bay city rollers, "i only wanna be with you"
so i guess it's an upbeat and happy ending. maybe i finally find true love and happiness in the afterlife?

LOOKIE HERE: i'd be delighted!

from the movie kicking and screaming (1995).



awwwwwwww... how cute was that?

i <3 josh hamilton!

BITS AND PIECES: mental blogging block

while there was so much i wanted to post about this week, i somehow found myself in this mental blogging block and just couldn't write. so excuse the point form.

+ i already miss los angeles, but can't freaking wait for new york. oh i haven't mentioned my trip have i? yes i will be in new york next week, which is damned exciting. i'm the luckiest girl on the west coast (or am i not?) and i can't help but rub it in a little.

+ if you haven't seen flight of the conchords you should because you're missing out. kiwis' are so in these days! bret (one of the guys in the show) has a creepy hotness to him now that he has facial hair.

+ been having trouble falling asleep lately and i still blame that movie little children, starring kate winslet and patrick wilson, for it. the scene where ronnie jerked off in that sweet girl's car totally creeped me out.

+ it's official. of montreal is on my favourite bands ever list.

+ new want: a spanish guitar, okay i know i said i wanted a daisy rock not long ago, so what? maybe i want both.

+ as i was flipping through the channels last night (i couldn't sleep and was not in the mood to read), i stumbled upon this movie called cellular, which i watched on DVD with my cousin like 4 years ago. and there he was, my ex-rugged-good-looking-in-a-weird-way-infatuation/imaginary-lover jason statham, as the bad guy. i can't believe i didn't notice him back in 2004. this totally can be added to the long list of shitty movies he's done. i mean i love the guy i still do, but come on! you have got to man up and do one decent film.

+ i'm being a total brat but i want someone to say something so insightful and witty, it blows me away.
