Songs I Almost Like

Sometimes I hear something and I really really like it, then I hear it again and I'm not so sure, and no matter how many times I hear it I still can't decide if I like it or not.

The first time I heard this song I didn't hear it all the way through so I never got to the Lil Wayne part. The Lil Wayne part annoys me (scares me even when watching the video) but I enjoy the rest of the song. The video is atrocious, it is like 1986 barfed up a concert version of an ipod commercial.


I had the volume turned down low the first time I heard this song so I couldn't really hear the singer... I liked it a lot more that way. I enjoyed the sound of the song but I don't think the lead singer is quite good enough to sing it. It needs a slightly more manly (deeper, stronger) voice to really be able to keep up with the music. I vote for Chris Daughtry, his voice has that slight rasp that I think would really improve this.

The Countdown Begins

Since it is now officially March I'm allowed to start getting excited.

26 Days til my Birthday!!!!

Treating Myself

I got my tax refund sometime in the last couple of days ( I didn't notice it because it is deposited directly into my savings account which I don't check often) and I decided to splurge on myself a little bit. I splurged by going to the grocery store* without a list and letting myself buy whatever I wanted AND I got name brand stuff that I would normally buy the not-quite-as-good store brand version of. I spent about 50% more than I normally do on a major shopping trip but as I sit here with my brownie bites, I'm cool with that.

*I would rather not discuss how slightly sad it is that "splurging" consists of grocery shopping. I'm a poor college student and I don't get lucky charms a lot.

Over the Hedge

Have you guys seen Over the Hedge? It was ok. Not great, not hilarious, but not boring. EXCEPT for this one part, which I can watch over and over and over and over again. Just ask Michael.



"but I like the ___" may have worked itself into my general vocabulary and I get especially excited when I actually get to use cookie as the noun.

And what you don't know is that I just got so wrapped up in watching it again on youtube that I forgot to hit " publish post"

ok ok OK

So last night I finished Buffy. As I sat there on my couch watching the end of the final episode with tears rolling down my face I realized one thing: I was slightly more into it than I thought I was.

It is made out of Cupcakes!

CUPCAKES!!

Do I Have a Problem?

Michael says, "Yes."

Series I have read in the past year and a half:
Jaz Parks (4 books) - Vampire CIA Assassination Team (meaning the Vampire is the CIA Assassin)
Twilight (3 books) - I think You know this one
Sookie Stackhouse (7 books?) - The book basis for HBO's True Blood about Vampires going mainstream due to a synthetic blood invention that allows them to not have to feed on humans.

Shows I have enjoyed in the past year and a half:
Buffy the Vampire Slayer (on the last season now) - No, I never watched this show, yes I am a true Joss Whedon fan. I'm making up for it now.
Moonlight (I don't want to talk about it) - It wasn't just Logan that I loved.
True Blood (1 season so far) - See above

Movies I have seen in the past year and a half:
Let the Right One In - Creepy as HELL

Here is what I have determined about my Vampire Likes and Dislikes:
1. I like when they can go into sunlight. Sunlight can have an effect but not killing them instantly.
2. I want there to be some work that goes into creating Vampires. One bite and you're a vampire? No thank you.
3. I prefer modern-day Vampire tales.
4. I prefer that the Vampire keep their "souls." Basically I like the idea that a Vampire can be good, they aren't just all evil killing machines.
5. I like it when they aren't affected by garlic, holy water, and crosses. I realize they are the undead but you should have to put some effort into killing them.

Here is my problem with Buffy (ohmygod, did she just say she has a problem with Buffy??????). Buffy the Vampire Slayer has never met a vampire myth it wasn't madly in love with. EVERY SINGLE myth you can even imagine is held true in Buffy. Maybe I'm watching this show at the wrong time in my life, maybe I should have watched in high school because while I certainly like the show a lot, I'm not madly dying in love with it.

I miss Moonlight, True Blood is good for different reasons so it hasn't yet fulfilled my Moonlight longing.

Anyone have anything else Vampire related I should be reading/watching?
