i wish an orchestra & someone with a boombox would follow me around so that my life would continuously be accompanied by a soundtrack.

you are such a strange little man! but you make awesome music. oh radiohead, you put me to sleep last night on the couch. not in a bad way, but more like... lulling me to sleep. haha. i wouldn't have fallen asleep if i wasn't so tired. but it was a good end to the day, after rawking out to kutless.

the ones who seem strange and peculiar to regular folk seem to produce genius work - whether it be music or any other trade. i think the key is to let go of inhibition.

i refuse to be regular folk.

i think i wanna be crazy.

if i am crazy, then, i am a genius.

HAHA. does that logic make any sense? i don't know i haven't checked my truth tables lately.

i'm gonna shut up now =]

frustrating

i have to edit a bunch of wedding pictures... and i just can't seem to do it.

i feel so un-creative. so... uninspired. blah.

i feel blah.

blah.

bloop.

list list list

+ i really really want to see the Phantom of the Opera =[ my only consolation is that Gerard Butler isn't THE Phantom, which means it probably won't be as good. [ha, yes, i am lying to myself]. i guess i can always pop-in the dvd. but i still want to see it on stage. that would be amazing. 10x more amazing if gerard butler would always be the Phantom. and i'd be christine. and i'd definitely pick him over raoul.

+ i wish i could use the other side of my brain more. it feels neglected.

+ i got to go jetskiing last saturday which was fun. i think the day wouldn't have been complete without yours truly making a goof of myself. it just had to happen. so naturally i would have to be on a jetski that would flip over (at 2mph). the lake was nice and warm thank goodness. haha.

+ what's up with the weather?! it's like, fall all of a sudden.

+ i need to get better with budgeting. i need to stop spending money. i need to stay away from powell's.

+ i'm happy that Twilight [the movie] will be coming out earlier. November instead of December.

+ newly discovered music: Adele

i want...

this vertical sapien bookshelf.



i've stacked up my books to emulate the look. it works, but it would be nice to have the actual shelf. and i've only knocked the stack over once! hahaha. why can't ikea have a knock-off version?!

collection

i have the quotes widget on my iGoogle that i read everyday either before i get started with work or during my morning break. here are my favorites that i've saved so far...
