the trip to manchester

trying
not to eat dinner. sigh. i ate a stupid, ridiculous, digustingly large lunch at the souplantation. it's just not fair - the one we went to today had much softer brownies than the one by our house (where they are like hockey pucks) but it probably is fair in some ways ;)

listening
to Amy Winehouse (because dead equals instantly fascinating - i should have been an undertaker ;)

and
the Doors 'riders on the storm'. for two reasons: he's dead also and we had a storm today :) with rain and grey clouds and everything! twas awesome. however, it just didn't last long enough

attempting
to make a vacation road trip playlist. not called "i hear dead people" but "songs that remind me of Manchester because that's where we're going but not THE Manchester with Harvey Nichols and John Lewis - no, the little one-eyed beach town that probably has an Ace Hardware and that's it ;)" riders on the storm reminds me of Paris so it clearly doesn't belong :|

including, however...
bitter sweet symphony. and true faith. and how soon is now?

although... kind of hating
the fact that all these songs last too long :( life is too precious to spend on epic songs that last hours. the average REM song last 3.8 minutes just as it should be :)

watching
this Baccara dance routine over and over and over. i cannot believe 28 people dislike it, those 28 people are SO LAME!


noticing
life is actually less horrible if i wear Jo Malone fresh mint cologne. i think i am somewhat addicted - i so want to attend Celebrity Rehab and help Steven Adler beat the hell out of Amy Fisher, while singing "you know where you are? you're in the jungle baby! you're gonna die!!". i hate her/love him :)

wishing
an aerial map of the Malibu country mart wasn't burnt onto my screen thanks to the red fox. it's coming to something when the blue E is more reliable than the red fox :|

  2. OMG, Carol! Sam is halfway to man in this picture. Didn't he just graduate fifth grade with Bella (clearly a little girl), on the same day? Aren't girls supposed to be on the fast track to maturity an the boys catch up like a year or two later? He looks at least fifteen in this picture and devilishly handsome.
