berry delicious

it's no secret that i'm mad about coldplay, but after watching their new video for strawberry swing i might actually be certifiable. chris martin is a genius in the kookiest way imaginable. i watched the entire 4 minute plus video with the creepiest smile on my face because i just was so giddy. afterall, "it's such a perfect day."

johnny and june

i watched walk the line last night. i was actually sobbing at the end.
i need to love like johnny and june. jeeeeeeezusssss.

promises

"kissing is a means of getting two people so close together that they can't see anything wrong with each other."
nothing is wrong with you, never has been and there never will be, promise.

meet the parents

what a weekend! i could not have asked for it to be any better -- only longer, much much longer. cous passed the parent's test with flying colors (at least they are pretending to like him...) and it was so wonderful to see him. now, it's back to the real world, though if i had my way, i'd go be one with nature like this rad family.

in bloom

is it just me, or does this girl look so gloriously cool it hurts a little bit?

bring it on.

for those days when i'm feeling a little bit bigger than comfortable, when my jeans are a little tight, it's a comfort to know that i wear the same size as lara stone. considering she was the fixture of this year's coture runways (she closed chanel for GODSSAKE) i could not be more pleased. a uk size 8, us size 4? bring it on girl. normal IE not being a skeleton is BEAUTIFUL.

dance the night away

rachel getting married is one of the weirdest, yet most beautiful movies i've ever seen.

everything is so exotic. i loved the wedding. the band that never stopped playing, the saris, the leis, and especially the belly dancers.

when i get married in approx 14 years (but actually) i want it to be just like that.

okay, that's a lie, but i want to dream that i'm interesting enough to pull something like that off.

reeeeeeal cute.

i'd been feeling sort of sick for the past few days - achy and listless.
but, this little gem of photoshop rendering just made me a feel a whole lot better.
happy humpday!

swine

ron weasley has swine! ("off to st. mungo's for him.") i understand that is not his real name and that harry potter is not a real thing, but seriously how terrible is that? poor guy, right before the big hubub of hp6. i'm totally nerding out on the world right now, but i'm super bummed for him. let's be real, swine can't be fun for anyone.


ps. how psyched are you for the new harry potter movie? i'm actually dying.

summer lovin'

ten days. hurry up, please.

case of the mondays.

this weekend i celebrated the 4th with my family. carol ann is out of commission at the moment, so we spent the weekend playing catchphrase and baking. it was the sort of weekend that you don't want to end because it is so perfectly lazy. back to the real world though and the hustle and bustle of the capital building. oh, how i wish it was still the weekend.

ps. do you think president obama ever wishes he could just stay in bed?

flying solo

these two look fabulously happy.
i just went cruising solo, for the first time ever. i popped in a mixed cd and was grooving all alone. i got all smiley when ingrid michaelson came on and understandably weepy when conor oberst did.
but when i pulled into the driveway, i couldn't decide if i felt happy, or sad. sometimes alone time is good, but more often than not, i wish i had someone there to groove with me like these two have.

jamaican me crazy

"you may not be her first, her last, or her only. she loved before she may love again. but if she loves you now, what else matters? she's not perfect - you aren't either, and the two of you may never be perfect together but if she can make you laugh, cause you to think, and admit to being human and making mistakes, hold onto her and giver her the most you can. she may not be thinking about you every second of the day, but she will give you a part of her that she knows you can break - her heart. so don't hurt her, don't change her, don't analyze and don't expect more than she can give. smile when she makes you happy, let her know when she makes you mad, and miss her when she's not there." bob marley
