Entertainment Value ♥ 10:11 AM


Okay, so I probably should have thought of this at the beginning of the season, but I really wanted to do some feedback with season 12 of Dancing With the Stars. Tis my guilty pleasure. =0) And, okay, maybe So You Think You Can Dance, Glee, and The Voice (Blake Shelton is amaze-balls). American Idol is getting too much for me, and I seriously get aggrivated when all the good contestants get voted off early. >=0(

Anywho...crap, where was I going with this? Oh, yeah. Chelsea Kane should have won, but Hines Ward is a good substitute champion.

Bah. Foster The People's Torches is distracting me so this entire update is pretty pointless. I'm rambling. I guess if y'all like SYTYCD, I'd love for you to put your comments in my chatbox! =0)


The End.

Music Makes Me Lose Control... ♥ 10:18 AM


I am on a super music kick right now, so I'm going to spend this post linking y'all to some of my favorite new bands, as well as some new material from some old favorites. I may go off in a tangent, so try to keep up!

Yellow Red Sparks http://youtu.be/YwJPFlKIdNQ I heard this song randomly somewhere, but it was on Chelsea Kane's website, http://www.chelseakane.com/, that I put faces and a name with the song. (Plug: vote for her on DWTS! She's the best dancer!)

Foster the People http://youtu.be/SDTZ7iX4vTQ. Catchy boys from California. Duh. You can't help but to dance, despite the lyrical meaning.

Flogging Molly http://youtu.be/rOiLVo8yIJE. I've loved them forever. New album is coming out Tuesday! Buy it!

Dropkick Murphys http://youtu.be/D7g3RuoreRc. These boys do great work. Great work.

Mumford and Sons http://youtu.be/lLJf9qJHR3E. Lyrical gangstas, these boys are.

The Decemberists http://youtu.be/qR9DjdMrpHg. There's just something about them I just love.

Laroux http://youtu.be/EUsbpmQ9-mc. Best song to come around in a while. Love her.

Vampire Weekend http://youtu.be/P_i1xk07o4g. =D

Adele http://youtu.be/rYEDA3JcQqw If you don't like Adele, you spit on kittens.

Danger Mouse http://youtu.be/8UibsjY5K-c. Everything Jack White touches turns to gold. I'm excited for this album to come out. <3

Crap, this could take forever. I'll update as I find others to my normal posts.


The End.

Creative Control ♥ 7:26 AM


I write. A lot. There's a story in particular that I've been re-working since high school that I have finally got a handle on. I should have the first draft written within the next few months, which is super exhilarating because if everything goes according to plan, the second draft should be completed by the end of the year, early next.

I'm thinking about self-publishing since I don't know the first thing about acquiring an agent to represent me and my writing, and I feel like sending the manuscript just anywhere would be a waste of time. And while it's circulating the web, I'll be busy penning my next novel. I have several started, so I have plenty of material to work with.

If any of you know anything at all about publishing, let me know! Any help at all would be greatly appreciated!

The restaurant I work at is starting to get busier, and on days I'm by myself I write to make the time go by faster. Pretty soon, I'll like, have to be diligent at home. ;0) Ah, well. They are paying me to work after all.

I'm also writing fanfiction in my spareish time. Don't laugh, it's a great writing tool! And, no, I am not going to tell you what it is I write, you'll just have to find me.


The End.

And They're Off! ♥ 6:34 AM




First off, I hope everyone had a safe and entertaining Cinco de Mayo, or as I like to call it, Mexican St. Patrick's Day. =0) My brother and I attended a festival organized by the Divine Dining group, and they managed to get Edwin McCain out to play. Not Mexican, but local, and great fun to watch. ~~~~~>


I would also like to note the primary reason why I have been lacking in the update department: I've been working for 21 days now and I'm pretty much ready to crash. I'm tired, burnt out, and I've started my habitual snapping fit directed at my co-workers. All of them are whiny cry babies anyway, but I'm usually composed enough to let it roll off me. Not at the moment, folks. Everyone has been avoiding me like an Olsen twin avoids the buffet.


I just need some sleep, that's all, and maybe a vacation. I have to wait another 4ish months for that, though. But trust me, I've been counting down the days.


I have an actual day off tomorrow, and I'm not going to lie, I'm very close to making it an event invitation on facebook. ;0)


Oh! Almost forgot! Happy Kentucky Derby, everyone! Break out the hats, Bourbon and juleps!


P.S. My puppy's on pain meds. =0( Send some good voodoo her way.




The End.
